Because of problems with Canon i950, I bought a Canon ip4000 this afternoon. What I noticed was the differences in numbers of ink carts. Six ink carts were used for i950, but only 5 carts for ip4000. Two black carts BCL-6BK and BCL-3eBK must be installed for ip4000. I am confused...

Hi all, I'm new to this group but have been using Epson printers for several years. Just recently I purchased an R265 and so far have been very pleased with it but tonight I have a problem. The printer came with a set of S-Vision compatible cartridges. Tonight the printer reported that the...

Epson claims that their print heads are long life, yes will they never do burn out since they ain't thermal. But what is the point of having long life heads when there's so much clogging you read about in these and other NG's, we have heard all sort's of excuses..."Oh, the C series are a load...

I am buying a Canon MP780 printer/scanner unit. For years I have refilled my own cartridges but never 'sure' when the printer ultimately 'fails' if its old age or the effects of 'not up to the mark' inks. Yes I know the cartridges for the Canon are not expensive but it would be even cheaper to run...

STOP!!!!!! DO NOT REPLY TO THE TROLL MESKITE IN THIS THREAD!!! Please focus on my business at hand. Ignore his words: he just wants to provoke you. Like any troll, recognize the behavior: don't get sucked into his game. The last discussion about Atlantic Inkjet degenerated into a hundred posts...

The bottom line with our troll is this: Don't interact with what he says. Never do this. If you want to bother with him at all, focus only on his behavior, never, never on his subject matter. It's important to understand his MO: how he works, what his goal is. His intent is to provoke and...

http://files.filefront.com/4200_refill_instructionspdf/;4469186;;/fileinfo.html I've translated a german guide into english and converted it to PDF. Hope it's of use for people who need to refill the cli-8 carts.

How do you fill the hole after refilling cartridges? I currently use sticky electrical tape but there has to be a better way! JD

Bob, I was hoping you would weigh in on a HP Officejet 8500 duplexing question. I remember you from WAY back, on this printing forum, always having such good advice for my various Deskjets printing needs. I asked this question on the HP user support forum but only got one answer. I'd like...

I've been using a Canon i560 for a while because it was fairly fast and dead easy to refill, using bulk-purchased ink. Now the printer seems to have an electrical fault, so I'm looking for replacement which must also be cheap, quick and suitable for refilling with generic bottled ink. I would buy...

A class action law suit was filed in Santa Clara County superior court. It alleges that HP's 'smart printer' technology deceives customers to buy new ink cartridges before the ink has run out. The software renders cartridge unusable through the use of built-in expiration date. So far the...

¡THE FOLLOWING IS AN EXCERPT FROM CANON WARRANTY IN THE USA. IT BASICALLY SAYS THAT IF AFTERMARKET IN CAUSES DAMAGE TO THE PRINTER AND THAT INCLUDES THE PRINTHEAD CLOGGING OR IF AFTERMARKET INK CAUSES ABNORMALLY FREQUENT SERVICE CALLS OR PROBLEMS THEY DO NOT HAVE TO FIX IT UNDER THE WARRANTLY. I...

Inkjets if not used will 'clog up'. If not used for a period of time, obviously one should print say a small picture or a small test pattern using all the printers colour's to prevent clogging. How often should this be, every 2 or 3 days say, could it be a touch longer? Not easy to say I know,...

This is a sad story about a printer that was designed to fail. I am not talking about the ink measuring system which will force you to replace a brand new original full cartridge with another fresh one just because the printer thinks it is empty, although that is one of its features. And I am not...

In another thread on comp.periphs.printers, I described how I was finding it difficult to determine whether a particular monochrome laser was equipped with a true PostScript Level 3 interpreter (licensed from Adobe, not emulated). The printer is the Xerox Phaser 3500. The Xerox web site has...

Looking for a printer which will Print photos and CD/ DVD's. I plan to make good regular use of it. Ive got it down to these 3. I've used ebuyer for the price examples, you can probably get them all slightly cheaper shopping around Epson R200 - £65.99 Epson R300 - £77.90 Canon IP4000 - £92.78

Are the Canons the only low cost printers available in the USA that will print on both sides of the paper without the user having to turn the paper over manually? Thank you in advance for all replies. -- I used to think that most MDs were incompetent morons. I was wrong, they are actually very...

UltaChrome K3 8 ink cartridges fitted in the R2400 Light Light Black, Light Magenta, Light Cyan, Light Black, Photo Black or Matte Black, Cyan, Magenta and Yellow Measkite is just going to have a field day with this. Results look very impressive (if you can keep the ink flowing). Waterproof...

Epson has succeeded in stopping the distribution of most 3rd party ink cartridges through a successful lawsuit. I personally question the wisdom of the court in this case and believe it may prove to swing a shift in the color inkjet industry. Here is the Epson press release: If you have not...

I want to buy a basic photo printer. R200 and iP3000 seem to have same price. I think R200 has five color and one black ink tanks whereas iP3000 has three color and one black tanks. Which one is better for quality of prints and trouble free operations? Thanks in advance.
