    Any Discounted Canon OEM INK MX922[c251,c250] USA?

    Rose - unfortunately I didn't keep my side-by-side comparison prints from the very beginning of my refilling days. I did the same prints with OEM and IS inks from MIS - that was before Precision colors came onto the scene. I was primarily interested in skin tones. I found that with the exact...

    Making Ink

    @jtoolman - the video is quite an interesting promotional video, not because it describes the process in making the ink but because it delivers the message that OCP doen't mix their inks up, helter-skelter, in a bathtub and hope that it is uniform from batch to batch. Beginning to end, it...

    Overview with Canon non-oem from two dealers. 251/221 inks

    @Rose Chenn , I have pictures framed under glass on my walls (not in direct sunlight) that have survived several years without noticeable fading. I also have many photos in albums that also look very good after many years. All with PC dye based inks. On the other hand, a few prints I gave to my...

    Overview with Canon non-oem from two dealers. 251/221 inks

    Rose (my mother's name and granddaughter's middle name) - I've used Prrecision Colors for several years. Good service and I like the product. My canon printers use BCI-6 and CLI-8 carts. Dye based inks. They are manufactured by Image Specialist. Unlike some of the prefilled cart vendors...

    beautiful video! I don't think any company will show how inkjet ink is made as all us tinkerers on the forum will immediately try our hand at it!

    Inkjet vs laser printer - Which one?

    One of the laser's conveniences is the larger volume of pages before needing to change a cartridge. much appreciated in a business setting. Also a larger bin in most laser printers for paper stock that avoids the need to keep putting in more paper during use.

    Canon 7D Mk II

    There are times for the "snap shot of time" and times for working to get artistic expression. Sometimes the two overlap. My best attempts at artistic expression were during my single years of travel. I was unhampered by the need to be attentive to another's needs as well as my own. I could...

    Hi all, please help a newbie with some ink reccomendations.

    Excellent quote! Don't be fooled by the pictures. Especially during the summer we have fog, wind, and cool weather. Sometimes the fog "burns off" and we then have a cool sunny day. The San Francisco Bay Area has micro-climates. The city is only 7 miles by 7 miles in size and you can go from...

    Canon 7D Mk II

    Most interesting! Very few made major changes. a prevailing theme seems to be to narrow her face - a common equating of thinness with beauty. It is apparent, from the portion of her body that was in the picture, that she is not heavy, and the flat lighting for the original picture didn't...

    Official Poll Time…

    @Roy Sletcher, As your nearest neighbor, you are certainly aware of the fact that our election process in the US has started even though the actual election is more than a year in the future. One party has 17(!) aspirants vying for the right to be their candidate for president, and the...

    @3dogs - The era I referred to was the first half of 1960. Age - mid 20's. Great time and age to be footloose!

    Official Poll Time…

    During the six months during my youth when drifting around the world I found that the Aussies I met along the way were great travellers and loads of fun to be with.
