Just what I did when shopping for a new laser printer. I started at the inexpensive end and tested each demo printer until I got to the one that would take the paper stock, not "munch" envelopes, and would produce print that was well set on the paper. Because you are printing a large volume at...

Amen! Each of us should feel comfortable in knowing "how far to follow the lemmings" according to our own perceived needs. A garden variety PC and a consumer-grade digital point and shoot may satisfy some of us, and others may only be satisfied with the top pro grade DSLR and top rated graphic...

I've enjoyed this thread immensely! It has the full spectrum of those who seek precision, almost at any cost, to those who "fly by the seat of their pants" and experiment their way to what they regard as their most pleasing result. somewhere back in this 9 page thread was the admonition to...

Interesting that the majority of pictures taken now (with cell phones, primarily) are never printed. I was at a family dinner with a small, pocketable, digital camera taking pix to print, and my great niece said, "do some people still use cameras?" Sad that the printed image is going the way of...

Roy - Thanks for taking us back to the days of Paul Simon and Kodachrome. As an avid user of Kodachrome, back to the late 50's of ASA 10 days, and as a loyal fan of Simon and Garfunkel, both individually and separately, I really enjoyed your post!

This was done by Grandad35 several years ago. Someone may be able to give you the link to the thread. Good place to start before repeating what had been done. It was quite an interesting survey.

I must have missed reading the thread or threads about which the above concerns are expressed. I think, however, that this is a pretty good time to state the following: All threads are, essentially interactive. They sometimes may veer from topic to topic, but that is the nature of such...

AF A quick read of these linked articles discloses two types of recycling performed by Canon (and undoubtedly other manufacturers as well). For instance, my HP laser toner cartridges come with instructions to mail the used cartridge back to HP. On the one hand, it keeps these cartridges out...

Prior to Precision Colors starting business I bought my Canon refill inks from MIS. Although they didn't advertise it by name, I presumed that they sold Image Speicalist inks, just like Precision Colors. I prefer that Precision Color does identify their inks on their labels as Image...

My PGI-8/CLI-8 resetter from Precision Color has a bottom that unscrews for access to the battery. I specifically ordered that one rather than the sealed bottom unit. It did cost more than the cheap ones that are available from other sources, but it has worked perfectly so far, and I can...

Welcome aboard! I'm sure you've noticed the civil discourse and helpful nature of the participants. This is unlike some similar sites - we like it and keep it this way. The good thing about these larger format printers is that you can print many sizes up to the 13x19 that you've mentioned...

Mike - Any idea about the continuation of the BCI-6 inks?

Is this done to reduce the chance of microorganism growth in the product?

The lesson one should take away from this thread is that third party cartridges vary greatly in terms of suitable, safe ink and functionality. It all comes back to where you would like to save money. Refilling your own OEM carts with inks of known reliability avoids the gamble of possible poor...

I should have added to my previous post that The Walgreen store clerk who does the refills showed me a price list for various carts. Notably absent were the Canon carts that I use.

Austin - Stores like Walgreens refill cartridges in our area while you wait. The ink source is unknown, but it most certainly is not "local". Just for interest sake I've asked about the price per cartridge to have them refill. Somewhat cheaper than the original OEM price, but nowhere as cheap...

left it on the horse, of course! No need for me (or the horse) to lose my head once the battle was won.

Ahhh - the dreaded firmware (destructive) upgrade. I have an older top-of-the-line hand-held Garmin GPS unit for which I'd bought lifetime map upgrades. Last week I decided to upgrade my maps and inadvertently also upgraded the firmware. Now the unit has lost its bluetooth access! No pairing...

Rekusu - Please tell us the locations of the photo you have on your initial post. Great job of converting it to an aged sepia print!

Thanks to PeterBJ and Helen I've learned a new fix for some marginally reset chips. What is this nonsense about not being able to teach an old dog new tricks????
