Many of us have been using the Kirkland glossy photo paper in Canon printers and have found it to be excellent. It comes in 8.5x11 size in boxes of 125 sheets for $19 US. I see that they now have what is labeled as the same paper in 4x6 size. Although the labeling is the same, the 8.5x11 is...

measekite and frank can continue to flame each other but I do not have to read their crap and foul language. As far as I am concerned they have crossed the line and their ISP should pull their accounts. I have blocked both of them from my reader.

Hi I have got a message on my Epson Printer R300. It say "Some vital part has to be replaced" and the printer is blocked! This is the second time it hapened. First time Epson took resposability and fixed it. This time no way, allthough it is only 5 months sinse they fixed it the last time. What...

I've got an old printer from Canon. That I fill with no-name inks with abandon. Though measekite warned me not to, To him I say, "**** you"! 'Cause OEM inks aren't my passion. (Haiku, anyone?)

I bought a Canon Pixma 160 printer/copier/scanner, and three weeks later, it quit working. The instruction book says that the warranty includes "Instant exchange service", and that a replacement wil be sent out "via 2nd day air frieght service." When I called, I was told that they would send me a...

My Epson C62 printer started to give me trouble about six months after purchasing it so I contacted Epson, after a few tests with their technical team and after wasting a vast amount of ink from their genuine ink tanks I was advised to take it to a local Epson dealer. "Print heads" said the dealer...

I have an Epson 2100 A3 printer which I am now using to regularly print A3 size prints. I am only using genuine Epson cartridges and I am getting very good quality and no print problems whatseover. Even after returning from a 2 week holiday I did a nozzle check and had no blocked nozzles at all....

Hello all, Several years ago I have bought Epson Photo 790 and I would be quite happy with it if not for persisting problem of drying head. If I have not printed for, say, couple of weeks -- the printing head would dry out and it required a lot of time (and of expensive ink) to clean it up. So the...

I'm sure this has been covered many times but I was wondering if leaving the printer on all of the time is better for clogs. There is nothing worse than a clogged head that you can't clear. It seems like my i960 is clogging and it is harder and harder to clear.

Canon in a new paper article stated that there is not much difference between OEM black ink and generic. Here's the artricle: http://www.thestar.com/NASApp/cs/ContentServer?pagename=thestar/Layout/Article_Type1&call_pageid=971358637177&c=Article&cid=1149630611469

Is there any ink correctly formulated for this printer yet. One (unreliable) reseller is claiming it for Bk, M, C, Y, (not pC or pM) to be the same ink as BCI-6. ---for the person who knows nothing yet continues to reply in caps and tell everyone there uneducated. (measekite) I have my Bachelor...

Is this true? was just going to buy an i860 BEWARE. All the Canon printers have a Waste Ink Tank that is not user servicable. After changing print cardridges a couple of times, the ink tank gets full and you need to return your printer to Canon for service. The service runs about $60, while a...

I have read that in the UK, Epson are taking legal action to prevent companies selling non-genuine ink cartridges. If this is successful, it looks like they will have the backing of the law to charge their exhorbitant prices. After all, you wouldn't accept it if a car manufacturer insisted that...

I have a Canon 530D, running windows 98. Somehow an older registry got restored and now can't get the printer to work. I have remove and reinstalled the driver, in printer properties when trying to print a test page I get an error message and asks if I want to go to windows troubleshooter ( I don't...

I'll be buying a new printer soon (Canon) and like to read people's experiences. I'm especially interested in compatible ink since I don't feel ink should cost half as much as a printer. To put in into perspective, milk doesn't cost half as much as my fridge :-). Anyone here with some user advice...

Is there a way to resot the chips on the cartridges for the Canon ip6600D? Ive been doing it for years on my Epsons, but cant find the info for the Canon. Thanks

I use HP injkets to produce some nice photos, but I hate the way on the back .. there's that HP logo, so it's obvious it's come from a home printer. Does anyone sell photopaper that doesn't have this?

I just refilled all three colors in one of my HP 22 tricolor cartridges, and the yellow and cyan are fine -- but it won't print magenta. Has this happened to anyone? Can anybody take a guess at what's wrong? Did I let the cartridge get too empty before refilling it, or am I using a rotten...

I'm having so much trouble with MediaStreet ink (continuous flow system) for my Epson 2200 that I may go back to Epson, at 5 times the cost. Can I put back the orginal Epson cartridges I took out, even though they're not full? At least one is empty, but I don't remember which. Alternatively, I...

Since I'm testing the iP5000 -- and reading up on the later models -- I'm thinking: maybe I should get the iP8500? Is it the top of the line Pixma? Is it better than the iP5000? If so, in what way, or in which specific areas? Worth getting instead of the iP5000? Any downsides? Many thanks for...
