| 84105 | 2002-10-02 10:25:00 | I tried out the refill kits for my canon printer :( (and aso on my fathers cannon pronter), as many of you also found the heads had a tendancy to block up ... however another bad point was the refilled cartrige would run out much faster than a new cannon cartrige X-( in the long term it appeared to be a much more expensive option to buy refill kits than to buy a new ink cartrige. So i'm back to buying the ultra expensive cannon cartriges :| grrrr | katt (2059) | ||
| 84106 | 2002-10-02 11:19:00 | The variations in print quality on home filled cartridges usually exclude them for me, as I only use the inkjet for professional reports where colour illustrations are needed, and under that scrutiny they usually don't stand comparison. Given the cost of preparing the report, the printing cost would be a fraction of a %, so now I don't bother. Its different for home printing though, where ultimate quality is less important. Your method of getting the negative pressure is good, thats where most fail. |

| 84107 | 2002-10-02 20:58:00 | At work yesterday I had to replace the toner of the Brother 1440 laser printer for the first time since it was bought a couple of months ago. I was amazed that the replacement was $155 + GST when the old Okipage printer toners were around $40, but then it wasn't a huge cartridge job like with the Brother. If it weren't for the warranty we would have had the cartridge (or whatever it's called) refilled. godfather: you'd only be printing the coloured pages on your inkjet and not the whole report wouldn't you? With inkjet pages a tiny drop of water/liquid spoils the pages and water is always fatally attracted to inkjet pages... |

| 84108 | 2002-10-02 21:06:00 | Yes Susan, but my clients don't read them in the shower usually... Re the toner refill, be aware that the "good" printers replace the drum unit with each toner, lower spec ones don't. Thats the cost difference, as with a drum replacement its almost a new printer everytime. I have been caught with the cheaper ones, the drums dont last and can cost $400. Usually better to replace the printer.. |
