I would be interested in those refilling the ink tanks for my Canon Pro-1000 and what they do about the chips in the tanks? I checked with Precision Colors, and they are out of their one-time chips and the resettable chips have problems, so that isn't an option. I wouldn't mind refilling out...
I'm really trying to find out if anyone had used 3rd party inks in this printer and what their results were.
Any 3rd party ink has to be compatible with the OEM ink, and reasonably close color. I am also interested to understand the chip reset problem.
I have a Canon Pro-1000 that seems to "eat" ink, especially the chroma optimizer. Does anyone know of a good solution for this problem. Inexpensive refils, perhaps?
I use the printer infrequently, so it naturally goes through cleaning cycles, whether it needs it or not.
I recently purchased a Canon Pro-1000 printer. I used to have an Epson 3880, but it now has the dreded PK/MK switch problem, and I still don't know if I even want to fix it: I still have a 7 year-old printer that could need a new head next year.
Anyway, the Canon printer is great except that...
