Saw many a Furry Freak Brothers poster in San Francisco during the 60's. My home is a ten minute drive from the Haight/Ashbury area and the area of Golden Gate Park where all the free rock concerts were held in those days. Also, a good friend of mine was Crumb's accountant and sports several...

You're a brave man, George! Be prepared for a broadside boarding with sabers and muskets!!!

The top feed is for any paper you wish to use as long as it follows the printer guidelines for size and weight of paper. The bottom cassette is convenient when you use many different types of paper but want to switch to plain paper (lower tray) while leaving other types of paper in the top feed...

If you are printing black text only be sure to set the paper choice to "plain paper." For printing you will then only be using the pigment based cart. Remember, however, that the printer goes through cleaning cycles periodically by itself. That will draw ink from all carts. If your dye based...

I'm not certain that most of our members use the German method. I've always used the top fill method and stayed with it as it works well for me. For anyone who tried both methods and has a preference it would be valuable to see posts from them. I know one of our long standing members was a...

Agreed. But, as Smile posted, find used OEM carts and refill them. This ultimately beats the price of prefilled aftermarket carts and gives you a better chance for consistent printer safety and color control. The only problem I've seen with the recommended inks on this forum is the most...

No problem, Cakehole. Fortunately, this is not one of those places where "the inmates run the asylum."

ip4000 uses bci-6 color dye carts plus one 3eBk black pigment based ink for text documents. The printer uses it when plain paper is selected.

maybe ok, maybe not. refilling for these printers is quite easy and, once you get your workflow organized, very little mess at all. Lots of information here on the forum.

Fortunately, we have a James-Bond-type moderator who dispatched the troll while shaking, not stirring, his martini.

Same experience with me. Warm tone papers were the best for portraits. I spent many a night - often til 3 or 4 in the morning, just working to get the perfect print. I had to hide my rejects as my wife would never throw away a picture of our kids no matter how mediocre or poor the print was.

Paul - That is a good deal. A suggestion - watch Staples ads for their photo supreme double sided matte paper when it is on sale. Usually $2 - $3 per 50 page package and prints very good images on both sides. You have to play the rebate game, but it is now done online with no need to mail in a...

Look at your printer documentation. I don't know about other manufacturers, but HP printers have instructions for making a "cleaning sheet". If the cartridge was leaking toner you do need to do a thorough cleaning of the inside of the printer. Most probably the company from whom you bought...

To follow up on the carts with removable plugs per the OP --- I know that bci-6 and cli-8 Canon carts and many that have come after them can be easily modified in about five minutes to use removable refill hole plugs. These plugs are available from several vendors.

Since this is the "rant" thread, I expect that even a moderator can participate in ranting! This forum has been active for more than ten years and has been a model of civility and cooperative community. It is a tribute to those who participate that moderators have very little to do in...

The individuals who sell refill ink and products under the names, Precision Colors and Octoinkjet, were longtime very valuable contributors of excellent information on this forum before they became very active sellers of their products. What we object to are new members who have come on board...

Mike - as one of the earliest participants on this forum when it began, I must say that I've never encountered such a rule! Software glitch??? Misunderstanding??? Whatever it was, we will pass this concern up to Nifty, the person who began the forum and is responsible for maintaining the forum...

The success may be related to not letting the ink in the empty sponge dry out prior to refilling. Proper storage of the empty or near empty carts may also prevent much drying of the sponge as well. My only concern, which you apparently haven't experienced, is the time a cart is out of the...

where in the Philippines do you live?

as well as an occasional burst of comic relief!!!
