I have seen many sites on ebay selling compatible cartridges for ip4200
printers - with the proviso that you still need the oem chip to make it work
and you physically have to extract the chip yourself and stick it on the
compat cart.

I'm looking for a reputable bulk ink supplier (other than re-inks.com or
its numerous incarnations) that sells quality ink but also refill bottles
with needles. Re-inks currently does not.
Someone else gave me a link to an electronic supplier for bottles, but

I've asked this question of re-inks.com, but I got a vague response, as
though they'd rather sell me new sets of ink.
I have quite a bit of ink left for my Canon MP730nk, which I'd like to use
in my new ip4200. The re-inks.com catalog numbers are different, but I was

What type of paper do you use for your business printing?

Has anyone experience of Lyson quad black ink in an Epson 1290? I'm
currently printing B&W using the black ink only setting, the prints look
quite good. Would I do much better using the Lyson inks?

has anyone done a comparison of the canon ipf5000 vs. the epson 4800?
i'm interested only in the quality of the prints, not the longevity
but comments on user friendliness will also be appreciated ...

Ladies and Gentlemen,
This NG is where people come in times of grief and emergency. Of dire need
and distress. And many times, all of this is caused by a STUPID PRINTER.
Let's face it, we all have had one.

When I refill inkjet cartridges, usually Lexmark 26,27 & 18,19, I
don't glue or tape the top back on because it fits in place okay
without that. Is this what the rest of you do?
It seems  If I don't use the printer for a few days, the cartridges

Who has the best ink?

I have an HP LaserJet 5m printer. After I
turned the printer on I didn't receive the
error yet. As soon as I wanted to print, the
printer didn't start to print, but instead

I've sucessfully modded my MP500 to print discs, but am running into a small
problem with the software.The only way I've been able to print correctly to a
disc is to use th Canon software.
Nero & Roxio print, but the registration is way off. At best I seem to get a 1/4

I think I'm going to stick to pre-filled cartridges from now on. I'm covered
in blue and yellow ink! *lol* (I'm sure if you get the hang of it it's fine,
but it was all a bit too messy for me...) Lucky my desk doesn't seem to
stain easily - pity I can't say the same about my ...

I have a Cannon i850 which wont print black, even though the cartridge
is full. I want to try and clean the head but i cannot see how to
remove it. I know it must be easy because no one bothers mentioning how
to take it out as it is so obvious .......

What's the difference (other than capacity) between the CLI-8BK and the
PGI-5BK? They both need to be installed, but AFAIK they're both the same
black ink. Is the smaller tank used for photo prints, and the larger one
for text?

OK. My Epson Photo 700 finally bit the dust -- for good. Probably a
blessing. Stopped jetting ink completely after long period of no use. I
tried Windex on the pad. No dice. I opened the hood and pulled the head.
What I saw puzzled me. There was a drop of ink almost hanging off the ...
