17 AugCanon Printhead Cleaning

This video demonstrates how to clean the printhead on your typical Canon Pixma series printers. The method below is only needed when the printer head is extremely clogged. This can occur if the printer has been sitting idle for a period of time. Symptoms typically will be poor print quality or missing print or individual colours missing and in severe cases may result in no print at all. One way to avoid the problem is to use your printer on a regular basis and dont print untill your ink cartridge completely runs dry. Also only use quality compatible cartridges and avoid the ink refill shops as most of these tend to use cheap, low quality inks. The video below shows the actual printhead after it has been removed from the printer. The printhead is the actual device which holds the ink cartridges. This is achieved by removing all of the cartridges and then carefully unclipping the cable attatched to the printhead. Next carefully remove the printhead itself. CAUTION: printheads should not be rubbed with any abrasive materials as they are very delicate. The video below shows the dried ink being flushed out with either an alchahol solution or possibly even near boiling water. Near boiling water (eg. under the HOT tap) will work and needs to be done long enough to remove the dried ink stuck on and in the printhead. The printhead can be carefully dabbed on a piece of tissue or lint free cloth afterwards to remove any remaining ink. Make sure the printhead is relatively dry before reinstalling and when installed run a few test prints.

02 AprCanon PGI-520/CLI-521 non chipped

The Latest Compatible Ink Cartridges to flood the market are the Canon PGI-520/CLI-521 non chipped series. As usual Canon have developed a very complex “Opto-electrical” chip which will take some time for the manufacturers of compatible ink cartridges to replicate. It’s interesting also to note that these new series of Canon ink cartridges have even less ink in them than the preceded Canon PGI-5/CLI-8 series. So nothings changed Printer manufacturers continue to exploit the end user by once again manufacturing printers which use Expensive, low volume ink cartridges. As with the old series of Canon PGI-5 and CLI-8 cartridges the new PGI-520/CLI-521 series (non chipped) are the ONLY alternative at this time to less than halve your printing costs! As with the older canon cartridges these require you to remove the Microchip from the Genuine Canon cartridge and attatch them to the compatible cartridge. Once this is done you simply install them and follow the instructions included with the cartridges. They work fine and the only drawback is that they will not show the ink levels. Most people are more than happy to use them due to the savings involved. If you wish to go back to using the Genuine cartridges again simply pop them in your machine and all the ink levels will appear again as normal. Let me point out several points that MUST be followed when changing to the non chipped cartridges.

1. Remove the Micrchips carefully. They come off easily if you use a sharp scalpel to cut the 2 little plastic lugs.(do not use excessive force or pry at them)

2. Do not MIX the Microchips !  You MUST keep the black with the corresponding black and the cyan with the corresponding cyan etc. ( mixing them up will cause them to NOT work).

It all sounds daunting however it really is quite easy to do and the savings are HUGE. Well there you have it only 2 choices - Pay big dollars for the Genuines or more than halve your printing costs and by using the compatibles. The video below is for the Canon CLI-8 however the procedure is exactly the same for the 520 and 521 series.

NOTE: Ink Hub now has the Canon PGI-520/CLI-521 compatibles (with chips ALREADY fitted !)

29 OctBrother LC-37/LC-57 compatible ink cartridges

Brother LC-37/LC-57 compatible ink cartridgesThe Brother LC-37 ( Brother LC37 ) and Brother LC-57 ( Brother LC-57 )compatible ink cartridges are our Biggest sellers! The ink cartridges each contain 36ml of ink - DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF GENUINE BROTHER INK CARTRIDGES. We have done extensive tests on our Brother LC-37/47/57 ink cartridges and although Brother boast about their “Innobella” inks we cant pick the difference in print quality between our compatibles and their Genuine cartridges. Even on high gloss photgraphic paper we can notice NO difference in print quality. Dont pay top price for a genuine product when you can buy the same thing for a fraction of the cost. We sell thousands of these cartridges and have NEVER had anything but good reports about them.

All of our Brother ink cartridges are manufactured to ISO9001 and ISO14001 standards.

28 OctCanon CLI-8 / PGI-5 compatible ink cartridges

The NEW Canon CLI-8 Canon PGI-5 Canon PGI5, Canon CLI8 ink cartridges represent FANTASTIC value. Ink Hub was one of the first companies in Australia to import the Canon PGI-5 and CLI-8 cartridges and they have become a huge seller in fact our BIGGEST seller of any ink cartridge. We have had nothing but positive comments from our customers. They contain more ink than the genuine OEM cartridges and the ink is the highest grade American ink available. As with all of our compatible ink cartridges they are put through rigorous testing to check print quality, printer compatibility and overall durability. At Ink Hub we initially sold thousands of the non-chipped Canon CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges which required the origional microchip to be removed and attatched to the non-chipped compatible cartridge. This was due to the complex nature of the Canon “Opto-electric” Microchip which took many years to duplicate. Fortunately after many years of research the microchip was duplicated and the New breed of compatible CLI8 and PGI5’s flooded the market.

Why pay around $125 for a set of Genuine cartridges when you can get the same quality for $49.90 (full set of 5 ink cartridges).

The Canon CLI-8/PGI-5 suite the following printers:

Canon PIXMA: iP3300, iP4200, iP4300, iP4500, iP5200, iP5200r, iP5300, iP6600D, iP6700D, iX4000, iX5000, MX700, MX850
