I950 Printer ink???

[Guest]

Archived from groups: comp.periphs.printers (More info?)

Hi,
Saw posting on refills for I950 from MIS.

Question:
1. Has anyone had any nozzle problems (clogging or banding)
2. How many times can you refill the same cartridge before the sponge
stops absorbing?
3. How many photo prints do you generally do a month?

I have a I950 since Oct '03 and have been using a generic fill kit and
printer is the shop (for a second time)
They say to use genuine Canon cartridges or this will always happen?

Your feedback is appreciated.

Regards,
Wayne

The best ink to use would be from Formula labs. There are several
popular distributors, Joe at www.alotofthings.com is my favorite
supplier. He will proptly answer any questions you might have.

Ive used his ink for the entire life of my I850 without one clog and
the shades are an exact match to genuine canon ink. At times , the
printer would sit for 4 weeks or longer without being used as well.

I now just got a Canon I960 in which I ordered Ink from Joe and blank
cartridges made for refilling from www.inkjetgoodies.com
Many people here use the formula labs ink without complaints

Also, altanticinkjet.com is also a popular supplier.

Honestly, You shouldnt use INK unless you know where it comes from.
Definately stay away from generics that are "Compatible in all
printers"

Anyway, good luck. Im sure several others will point you in the same
direction of suppliers.

That about sums up what I would have said.

I use AtlanticInkjet supplies with my Canon i850. It works great and
I've never had a clog.

I never said my 850 doesnt work.. I merely purchased the I960 as I
needed a second printer. The 850 is still like new and prints sharp as
a razor. I was going to buy another 850/860 for the second computer
but with the rebate offer and low price I found, I went with the 960
and Im really pleased with it.

My 850, I must have about 3000 text pages printed and probably 200
plus 8x10 prints.. this includes the 4x6 etc etc....

As I said , it still prints photos and text sharp as a razor. BUT,
overall, the 960 has better overall tones for photos and it handles
the black contrast much much better.

If I had to choose only one printer, It would have to be the 960.

My 850 shows absolutely no signs of wear at all. Ive used nothing but
refill inks from alotofthings.com (formulalabs) and never had a clog.

Im sure I will buy new equipment well before the 850/960 show any
signs of wear. I probably purchase new printers every 2 yrs just to
keep up with advancing technology.

DO NOT use any ink in the canon unless its genuine canon ink or
Formula Labs ink. Read my recent posts and links for some popular
vendors of the proper ink.

THROW AWAY your other ink. or give them away or resell it if its
sealed. but do not consider using it in canon. The refill ink for
canon is very economical, so use the proper ink for it.

As far as the printheads, what someone would call the "life of the
printer" may mean something different to someone else. Would it last
for several years with general regular use? I believe so. I think
you could expect many many thousands of prints without breaking a
sweat.

Which Canon have you decided on?

well,i ordered 2 print samples.1 from i960 and 1 from i865.
I noticed that were almost identical and i think that both of them were
printed from i960.If they are so identical i think that i will buy the i865.
Do you know what is the cost of a new printhead?
(I am just curious)

Thank's

The i865 printhead runs about USD$46.00 direct
from Canon USA. The i960 printhead runs about
USD$82.00.

We market to medium, high, and bulk volume users.

135 mL is the smallest bottle we supply, as this is the smallest
volume continuous re-inking systems we sell.

good luck in your choice of ink.

I'm running a continuous inking system from weink on an i9100. Been
going fine for several months with their own ink. It seems to be about
$30/500ml compared to $25/500ml for most of the others. I figured that
if they were selling continuous inking systems and not getting knocked
here, they were pretty good and that has been the case so fat. I've
run through about a third of the ink in each color except black which
is a little more.
