Hi guys, The printer is 3 months old, I purchased my inks from precisioncolors, and did follow the instructions to the letter. I am not a newbie, so nothing really difficult to be done comparing to the past Canon printers I owned. First, I did the black cart, after 15 days the three colors. No...

Hi guys, Just to let you know that I placed an order with Canon Canada, they had the MB2720 on sale and the offer expires today. Thank you very much for your help, I have been part of this community for many years and always got good advice. :) My i865 gave me 15 years of troublefree...

Stratman, I was misled by the Canadian eStore, when you filter by Ethernet, it only shows one printer with an ethernet port, but in reality, you are right, the MB2720 has also got the ethernet port. Now, PC shows two Maxify printers for which they provide refill kits: MB2020 and MB2320 However...

Thank you all for your valuable comments. I spent hours evaluating the Maxify series before writing my post in this area, but the only one that supports ethernet connectivity is the iB4120. I have always bought my inks from Precision Colors, but they do not supply a refill kit for PGI-2200...

Hi guys, So far, I have always owned inkjet printers from Canon, my latest being the MX922 which I refill using Precision Colors inks. The printer has recently thrown the B200 error, although I was able to reset it, I fear it will be unusable soon. I realize it is becoming more and more...

Hi Artur and Isf, Thank you very much for your advice. @Artur: yes you are right, the printhead comes from eBay as there are no originals around. I am struggleling because I know that with a new genuine printhead this printer would do wonders again and I really I have a hardtime to let it go...

Hi there, It seems like my printer is ready to go... The printhead burned out, so I bought a new one but now I get: The appropriate print head is not installed I have new carts and new inks too. Here is the background before getting to this point: 1) I installed the new printhead, together...

OK guys, I will follow your advice, the printer is mainly used by my kids for school stuff, high quality is not a priority, but I do not want to mix the two inks. Thank you! Alex

Hi, The original carts are almost at the end, the PGI250BK is now blinking at 1 sec. frequency, the CLI-251M blinks at 3 secs frequency, the others are still OK. I am prepared for the switch, I purchased the Precisioncolor aftermarket empty carts and inks, before refilling I have a question...

Thank you all for your feedback, I will evaluate and decide... Really what matters to me is the reliability of the carts, Canon printers and other brands are good in terms of quality. Alex

Yes, I confirm the carts I use are the ones of Colorbat. @PeterBJ thanks for the link, I could no longer find it :) They are exceptionally good in quality and so easy to re-fill, I purchased a good number of them thinking I might need for replacement in the future, but if it continues like this...

Hi turbguy, I confirm I've been doing this for 9 years with my i865, so far I only changed two sets of carts. The ink reservoir has a refill hole which is also the air intake, therefore I can top-refill while the carts are in the printer. There is a plug in the sponge part which is alway in...

Hi all, Thank you for your feedback. I had a look on the Internet and considering that the printer will be used as a second printer and as a scanner, it has to be a no frills one. I found a good deal for a PIXMA MG5520 and according to http://www.precisioncolors.com they found a reliable set...

Hi guys, I am been refilling my i865 for 9 years, refilling time is generally no longer than 10 min. for all carts, still working perfectly. I got a multi function HP, I never succeeded to refill it, therefore I will ditch it. I want to buy a basic multifunction printer from Canon that allows...

That's why I am concerned, although I only did the lite one a few times. Actually, I washed the pads last year, after 9 years and they should be in pretty good shape :) I do not need to, I've plenty of Colorbat empty carts in stock and I would never change them, they last at least 5 years...

Hi all, I've been refelling this printer for 10 years with great satisfaction. Till last year, I bought inks in Italy, then I moved to Canada and I began to buy my inks from MIS. I slowly began to switch them, I mean, once I finished the 'Italian' ink I would refill with MIS ones. I know...

Hi, Yes, I noticed it and in addition, I've just been confirmed by DatatekUsa that they no longer supply the refillable empty carts for this model. To my knowledge, they were the only ones providing refillable empty carts for this printer. :( It seems I am out of luck, let's see if I can find...

Hi, I ended up to buy the ink from inksupply and refilled both color XL75 cart as well as a regular 74. They printed fine for some months ( I only refilled them twice) but now they both stopped, like there is no ink, but there is. I cannot understand what happened, I began to see printing...

Hi all, I do apologize for coming back so late. The day after, the cart had stopped to drop, so after having cleaned the printer inside, I put the cart in and tried to print: printing was fine, no leakage. So, I'd say too much ink. I have been mis-leaded by some instructions that were saying...

Hi guys, Today I refilled the original cart HP74 with 15ml of black pigmented ink (fist time with HP Printer), I waited 8h before running two cleaning cycles and finally tried to print: a total mess. The ink has spilled everywhere in the printer. Now the only different thing I did from what...
