I got my new head from canon today, thought it'd try some hobbicolors
in it before swapping out the heads, that wc8 stuff. Now I wasn't
exactly able to set the pritner to japanese mode, i.e. bci7, as it
required the mp770 drivers, so I just set it to japanese mode, reset
the printer, and set back to europe. The print nozzle test said
"bci-7".

I didn't want to waste my OEM ink on this project, so the ink is MIS,
the paper is HP Premium glossy.

I'm surprised that the HP paper worked that well in the printer. From
what I've seen, most HP paper, even the ones that say 'For All
Inkjets' really don't work with anything but HP printers. Even then,
usually only with the cartridges that specifically say photo/Vivera,
the HP paper smudges all over when used with my HP 1100d.

I first tried it on the ip5200 on OEM ink and it seemed to work very
well. Same with the mp760 on canon's ink. I have avoided trying it
but after trying it, I bought more.
