I started refilling with my old Canon BJC-210 in 1995 or so? Can't remember but I was still in high school at the time. My Pro 100 that I got 3 years ago I've refilled 30 times or so and I just got a Pro 10 that I'm also going to refill. Thanks goodness for Precision Color because I wouldn't be...
Sorry didn't realize there was a refilling sub forum or I would have posted there. Can't seem to delete the old thread either.
Thanks for the info on Ink Owl. Any idea how it compares to PC which is also in Canada? Equal?
So I took a chance on Black Friday and ordered 3 rolls of their Transitional grab bag filaments which could be anything from their inventory. From their website,

I use glass (borosilicate not that it matters much) and hairspray. Hairspray should be dry when the first layer goes down and I've printed large flat prints with no lifting. It comes off super easy too when the cools. I've only cleaned the glass only once in about 3 weeks as it keeps sticking!
I've been thinking of a BL Touch bed leveling sensor because my Y carriage was so wonky being made of acrylic. I just installed my aluminium Y carriage the other day and it's night and day. It stay much more level now between prints.
Thanks! It took a few evenings to get it up and running and another to clean up all the wiring. Definitely not as easy as a ready to print printer. I printed a few things so far but have been struggling with printing off a layer fan in ABS as it never wants to stick to the bed. Working on it though.
I don't really want to create a new thread so I thought I'd just tack this on here. I've flushed an old Magenta Cli-42 cartridge and I let it dry over night. I didn't weigh it since I don't have a scale (yet). I had this same problem when I initially tried to refill it. I'm wondering if it's a...
Thanks Roy. I'll drill them out a bit then after trying it on a discard yellow cartridge I have. If I try and put it in otherwise it'll only go in half way and won't keep a good seal.
Thanks all. Good to know. Anyone know if I have to ream the hole out where the ball comes out? I tried a plug that comes in the Precision kit and it doesnt want to fit. Are people using a 5/32" bit to enlarge it a bit?
I was trying to refill an OEM CLi-42 and lost seal on the vent hole. It filled the sponge. I've since drained the reservoir and the sponge but wondering if I should flush the cartridge now.
This is what it looks like. No white left on top.
What do you think?
Hello all,
This is a question for replacing and refilling of cartridges.
When for example the cyan cartridge shows empty, do you:
a) replace only that cartridge
b) replace all cartridges with the set you have ready to go
c) something else
Thanks
