I used the air pump fish tank tubes As to the quality of the print outs using third party ink, it is definitely subjective. I tried many different brands and methods (CISS, PUMP, AEROSOL CAN, DRIP FILL) and got more dissapointment than results. So finding a good 3rd party ink is like striking...

In the past, when i had that printer, i used 2 tubes and a 1.8L empty bottle. Drill a hole at the bottom of the printer, then push the 2 tubes thru to the sponge, other side into the bottle. Bottle must be lying down. Drill many many small holes in the tube part touching the sponge, about 2...

Yup i mean ink and paper. I now buy local brand paper and use another local company's inkjet refill service. The other post about replacing the sponge is absolutely correct. So far the printhead has been excellent. Could not complain about the print head. Just complains about cost. Anyway...

Thanks for all the info. So a good solution is not going to be cheap.

Sorri, i am a noob, posted twice

I have the said Canon 9500MKII, and after almost 1000 prints, the print cost works out to be slightly below $10 using original peripherals and below $5 using compatible peripherals. I am costing this using real world costing where paper get jammed, ink runs out halfway through print, edges of...

Wow thanks for the info... but now i am even more confused. Is there any free way? If i were to get all the equipment, how often do i need to do it? Do people actually do calibration or they leave it to the printer driver?

Hi all, I need the above advice. Is there some software or equipment i must buy? Any free software? If need to spend, spend how much? Currently when i look at pics with my monitor, it looks fine but when i print, it is very dark. When i scan, it looks very bright or over exposed but when...

Dear Clown, Sorry i am new to this but i did not know that u would take offence of my message. I was just listing out the info i have learnt from the above messages and from the printer ink refill thread. Did not know i could not do that. FYI, I do not work with them or for them, just listing...

Thanks for the directions. Better detail than a GPS!!!

Well to date in about 2 weeks i have got about 30 A3 and 100 A4 decent prints lying around. I hope that this is just a phase... new camera, new printer...kinda thing. Got this dream to mount nicely all the photos and make my room into my personal photo exhibition. Would you by any chance know...

Wow, TME, you really know ur stuff. Thanks for the reply, now i understand about print heads and pigment and dye based inks. Now i know why in the past when i used generic refill inks and the CISS, the ink just wouldn't stick to the paper causing so much smudging. Anyway out of desperation i...

Hi I am new here and i don't know if i am posting in the right discussion group. I would like to know where is the cheapest place to print A4 - A2 photo prints. I recently bought an A3 printer at COMEX 2010 and the ink cost is really high, so i am looking for a place the provides "real...

Hi, i am new to this forum. I just got a Nikon D90 for the recent and an A3 printer from the recent Comex 2010. After a week of figuring out the camera and printer, i have run out of ink. Can you let me know how the Inke refills were? Any good? My printer salesman recommended Inke too but I am...
