I wish I would have known about Canon's eBay outlet it probably would have saved me some money since last night I bought a BRAND NEW Canon ip4300 a CLI-8 based printer on eBay. After I've purchased some OEM Canon PGI-5/CLI-8 empty cartridges is there a step by step tutorial preferably with...

I guess I shouldn't have said the nozzle checks were fine because they might print somewhat normal looking for a couple of checks and then they go back to looking like this: The nozzle checks are very inconsistent but more times than not they look like the above everything faded with Cyan...

I've spent the last couple of days following these directions over and over again. I've lost count how many times I've ran cleaning cartridges through the printer followed by reinstalling my ink carts and running cleaning cycles but still no difference. Actually after running nozzle checks it...

These HobbiColors cleaning cartridges http://cgi.ebay.com/Hobbicolors-New-Cleaning-Cartridge-BCI-3eBK-BCI-6-Canon-/250785757997?pt=BI_Toner&hash=item3a63fefb2d#ht_2815wt_1139 only come in BCI-6 but they may be worth a try. Even though these...

Wow my head is spinning I was about to take your advice and never realized you still couldn't buy a ip4700 (still listed on their website) without spending several hundred dollars so I'm left with trying to fix my old printer or upgrading to their ip4820 which has smaller carts and you may not...

Are you for sure the CLI-8 + PGI-5Bk carts will work in my iP5000 and if so you would prefer them over the BCI-3eBK + BCI-6? How about these http://cgi.ebay.com/VIRGIN-used-CANON-PGI-5-and-CLI-8-Toner-Cartridges-18-/330518668610?pt=BI_Toner&hash=item4cf472a542 ? What is the difference between...

As far as new Canon printers go that can be converted to print on disks the choice looks to be between a ip4700 - Ink Tanks: PGI-220 Pigment Black CLI-221 (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black) or 4820 - Ink Tanks: PGI-225 Pigment Black CLI-226 (Cyan/Magenta/Yellow/Black) No I don't enjoy wrestling with...

I do quite of bit of home printing (mainly color but some text) and the quality of the Chinese InkGrabber cartridges is fine as far as I am concerned so I'm not that picky as long as it looks decent. I do want to stay with a Canon printer so I have the option of printing on disks which I'm...

What are the chances of my printer purging itself if I bought a set of Canon OEM cartridges and ran them do you think it would start printing normally or do you think it would still take running cleaning cartridges? If I start refilling my own carts is it preferable to refill Canon OEM carts or...

I guess I'm not sure how I should proceed as stated in my first post I've only used Ink Grabber third party cartridges for maybe four years now so I don't have any Canon originals nor do I have any empty Ink Grabber carts so I could make cleaning cartridges. I tried refilling my own cartridges...

This is my results:

Ok thanks for the screenshot here is what I've done. Used a straw and flooded the pads where it pooled with windex then the pigment black pad slowly drains away without doing a cleaning so it's fine. Doing a nozzle check the 3eBK grid pattern prints fine but not the dye ink patterns. Now on...

ghwellsjr I'm not exactly sure which pads you mean or where they are located do you have a screenshot? I don't think you mean dropping index on the foam pad running down the middle sorry but I've never explored the inside of the printer before or how it works.

Yes the 3eBK cartridge is the only one that prints consistently fine all the others 6C, 6M, 6Y, and 6BK either don't print at all or are very faint. I have had no luck googling the print head or on Craig's List in my area. Yesterday I tried soaking the head in hot water and at least I could...

Yes I'm in US. I'm really not interested in refilling cartridges myself only in using 3rd party carts. I really don't know a lot about the quality of Epson printers but I've had good luck with Canons. This Epson Artisan 50...

I need to replace a Canon ip5000 that I've used for printing on dvds and would like to use non OEM catridges but since I haven't brought a printer for a few years I need some help. My needs: 1. Need to be able to print on dvds... can you still modify Canon printers to do this and if so will I...

I can't seem to find a new print head am I just out of luck? I've been using Ink Grabber cartridges for a few years now with little issues although I've changed print heads once before. My colors are all off and I've replaced all the carts with new carts but it still doesn't print right. I've...

Well I called around to my local Staples stores and no one has anything. How would the ip3500 compare to the ip4200, ip4300, or ip4500 as far as ink usage?

I didn't know I had to go to the stores themselves to find a bargain I was hoping I could shop online but will do some searching.

I need a printer for my son that will get the best ink mileage and he's not interested in refilling at all. He mainly buys cds from itunes but then prints inserts for them using Meritline perforated glossy cd inserts. I've had good luck with Canon so I would prefer to stay with them and hope to...
