exchange

[gaetan 74]

Ello, I would exchange a canon pro1 against canon 9500
+ possibility 12 cartrige (LD)

Guess what, so would I, but sadly there’s no taker..
P&P would be horrendous …
I love my pro 9500

To OP: Why in the world would you want to do that. A PRO-1 runs circles around a PRO-9500MLII.
To THE HAT: I also love my 95000MKII but..... would also love to own a PRO-1!!!

Mine is on a waste ink countdown..

Joe next time you’re in Europe why not drop by and lump it back to the US with my blessing..

Are you saying that the Pro 1 has a lifespan driven by a waste tank that cant be exchanged?

 

[The Hat]

Yes and No, it does have a large replaceable waste tank but I went to the trouble of by passing it so the need for replacement would never arise, that’s what I taught..

I buggered up my installation of a waste ink kit, which meant an unnecessary trip to Canon Service for a (BIOS Reset) and it was them that put in this ticking time bomb by effetely locking the Service Mode and only they can now reset the waste ink counter.

I decided not to be held to ransom by these rustlers when the waste ink counter reached 100% and dispose of the beast before this can happen, I am now using the printer less and less and would be better off without it.

That’s why I’d swap it for a 9500, ironically the printer is working faultlessly and the lovely waste ink kit (Printer Potty) is working brilliantly.
Anyone looking for a very large door stop ?
