Canaon Pro 9000MkII carts - From another question for jtoolman

[3dogs]

I have trawled the web for CLI-42 ( assume thats the correct cart for the 9000MkII) refillable carts, cant see any, what am I missing?

Can you please explain, or point me to a video that I can use

Also what inks, and from whom? AND is there a resetter available?

and finally.....waste ink whats the strategy.

as always thanks in advance, I dont know how you guys fin/make time to do your OWN thing..

Cheers,

Andrew

The 9000 Mk2 uses CLI8 carts so that's maybe why you are having trouble finding them. I use Image Specialists inks made in the States & they match the Canon colours really well. Precision Colors are in Nth America (Canada) & Octoink in Europe (England) & most of us use these two suppliers. They both sell the full refill kit for the Pro 9000 along with a chip resetter & the carts are very easy to fill.
The waste ink tank is right at the bottom of the printer & is not accessible unless you take the printer apart. I just forget about the waste ink tank as it takes a long time before that becomes a problem.
Hopefully someone here can link you to some videos

Hi Rod,

Didn't think to ask you, I must be having a grey moment

I phoned a couple of shops in Melbourne and they are all gone. I was dithering last year and was there when Camera House sold their last for $550 :/

I got the cart number from the PC site by following the instructions, or so I thought.

I was also thinking that a dye printer would be better for club comps. The judges we get don't seem to like Fine Art Papers and tones......

Thanks for the pointer will keep going but I'm worried about the waste ink thing tho.

Cheers,

Andrew

Rod is our Aussie expert on most things upside-down so youre in safe hands with his advice.

Dont be worried about the waste ink at all, youd have to print thousands to get a waste ink warning
so it wont be a problem short term, anyway Epsons are the waste ink kings not the Canons.

On the subject of your search for CLI-42 carts, they do in fact fit and work in a Pro9000,
they are exactly the same cartridge as the CLI-8s with just a different name and chip on them.
