From: Ken on 20 Mar 2010 18:23 I have been looking online for a source for small quantities (about 4 oz or so) of OEM Canon inks with which to refill my CLI-8 cartridges. Does anyone know of a source? (I have heard that using non-OEM inks is risky--is that people's experience?) Thanks Ken K

And Canon doesn't sell in bulk quantities, Canon sells only cartridges. For bulk ink you sould buy aftermarket inks.

You have to reset the chip also when you refill the cartridge, or your printer will think the cartridge is still empty. I bought a resetter on Ebay from RNB import & export. It was shipped from Germany. It came with 5 bottles of ink, the syringes, and a drill to get into the cart. So far---no problems. I also have been using inks from MIS Associates for many years with no problems. In fact, the inks that came with the chip resetter are almost finished and I have the MIS inks here and ready to go. MIS also goes by the name of Ink Supply. RON ======================================================== Remove the ZZZ from my E-mail address to send me E-mail.

Ordered my chipsetter yesterday and found the Inksupply.com website. It looks like their Premium inks are the MIS inks. Perhaps you can answer a question for me. I have been looking at videos about refilling and the process seems pretty straight-forward, although I don't have any of the equipment yet. On the written instructions on the inksupply.com (http://www.inksupply.com/instructions/can_cli8_pgi5refill.pdf), they state one should drill a small hole into the top of the sponge compartment (page 3, #3 instruction), but if a vent is needed, why wasn't one put there to begin with? Also, on a couple of youtube videos, no one put a vent hole into that compartment. Please tell me whether you do that and whether you have any other tips (such as when I change from the Canon inks to theMIS inks, do I need to change all of them at the same time to keep color relatively the same).
