Thanks guys! I've watched that video. Hopefully the Setup cart hasn't sat too long. If it has then I still have the active OEM XL cart in the printer I can refill and put an ARC chip in. I have 2 chips of each color so I can have full spare carts available hopefully.
Got some GI-26 black so I can refill an OEM XL cart that I will swap an ARC chip onto. Just waiting for the low ink prompt.
Question... I saved the OEM setup carts that came with the printer when they ran out. I just through them in a ziploc bag at that time. Are they usable or is the ink...
Thanks Artur. I sent Inktec an email yesterday about any USA resellers/distributors that they have for Canon inks. This is the response...
So looks like I either buy their "small quantity" and try to resell it myself lol or I go with the German reseller on eBay.
4 X 8.5oz for $36.91 plus...
Argh! Seems like a PITA to get Inktec ink in the USA.
Is this legit Inktec ink? Then bottles/labels look different from other sites I've seen...

@The Hat What is your opinion of using the refillable carts from Precision Colors with the Canon MegaTank Maxify ink you're using? Seems like the PGI1200 doesn't come in that "V2"/Diaphragm version, only the larger PGI2200 and I really didn't want to jump up to the MB5120 for $100 more.
Ok, about to pull the trigger on a MB2120 for my 2 kids schoolwork/homework. I plan on refilling...
So what is the consensus on the refillable 3rd party cartridges and using the Canon Ink that @The Hat is using? I need an easy to refill cartridge (not the OEM) as my wife and/or 14yr has to be...
Yeah, only my 2 newer AMD 3900X systems support fTPM but I think I'll need to run the MBR2GPT utility before Windows will accept enabling it. All my older systems Intel 2600k and back do not.
Windows 10 Pro and Enterprise is good enough for me until 2025.
EDIT: I build all my systems myself...
Using Office 2007 for that reason as well...I hate those dam new icons/layouts past Office 2010. Plus needed Outlook as they took Windows Mail out of Windows 10. At least with Windows 7 you were able to add Windows Mail program in manually.
You can install the 64bit version, but it would have to be a clean install, not an upgrade.
I have some older laptops as well that came with Vista or Windows 7 on them. Add some RAM and slap a SSD in there and they run great...and on Windows 10 too.
It will most likely be a free upgrade for current Windows 10 users.
However there are always ways to upgrade free if the hardware supports it. Like you can still get Windows 7 to upgrade to Windows 10 for free if right from Microsoft itself...that free upgrade that offered to Windows 7 users...
Creality has the CR-6 SE on sale right now to coincide with Amazon's Prime Days for $339. I also have a code for $20 off $300+ so it would be $319...I think I might pull the trigger tomorrow.
Also in researching this printer, I'm seeing that the major consensus by users is to update the stock...
So if you wanted to spend say $300 to $400 dollars or so on a new 3D Printer...what would you choose?
I was originally thinking the CR-6 SE since it has the auto-leveling bed feature, but not sure about the company as it seems the customer support sucks arse if something goes wrong and you're...
