Agreed but if they did that then chances are the printers would cost
double to triple what they do now and then who knows... but mine not
to reason why.

THERE IS A VERY GOOD REASON WHY THAT IS NOT TRUE. PEOPLE WOULD NOT BUY
THEM AT THAT PRICE.
Just as a thought while you're considering things some more... I'd
seriously give CIS (Continuous Ink Supply) kits a consideration as a
potential way to not only reduce the costs but also the environmental
waste.

Please ! There is more than enough government intervention in my life
without printer ink cartridge regulations.

There ya go... But high on the list of things would be mundane items
such as budget balancing, border security, putting *real* money into
the Social Security fund instead of IOU's, and on, and on. But you
get the idea.

I won't argue with the idea of using Canon printers rather than low end
Epson's in a school setting. However, I have tested the cleaning
formula with Epson's Durabrite inks, waiting months to make sure they
were well dried, and the formula does break down the acrylic in the
Durabrites. The formula is slightly different than for dye inks, and it
takes more time but it usually will work. I do get a lot more request
for information on unclogging with printers using Durabrite inks, but
most succeed in unclogging the heads.

However, in a school situation where many printers are involved it may
be too time consuming.

As I've noted in plenty of posts, both on here and on forums then a
heavy print user is generally the only type of person who would benefit
from the use a CIS.

Personal and professional experience has indicated that schools are one
of the prime examples of when a CIS really does work well as students,
especially in primary, tend to print a lot of work in colour.

So, yes... for once we agree...

And yes, this is using non-OEM ink...


Of course you weren't intending to have me agree but hey... if the cap
fits..

Art... speaking as someone who doesn't generally clog up printers
deliberately, I really appreciate you taking the time to do just that
and then prove it all works :)

Thanks for the invaluable help.

I only wish some government regulation would step in to require printer
companies to design their printers to allow easy cartridge refilling instead
of the waste made by thousands of empty ink holders filling the landfills
and scuandered energy to produce them all for the sake of making money. I
find it completely ubsurd that the technology is clearly there to make easy
refilling but it doesn't happen because of the marketing process.

I agree with the recycling by refilling concept. I'd even go as far as
to say I'd buy Canon or HP ink at a reasonable price to refill their own
cartridges.

I don't agree with more government regulation though...it usually means
higher prices for the end users.

EVEN IF CANON OFFERED BULK INK I DO NOT WANT TO ENDURE THE MESS AND THE
PAIN IN THE ASS. I WOULD RATHER HAVE PREFILLED CARTS AT ABOUT HALF THE
PRICE. HOWEVER IT WOULD BE NICE TO HAVE TRIPLE SIZE CARTS

We were talking about inserting the bulk ink in printer cartridges. But
to each his own, I guess.

Doesn't necessarily mean so. The "rules" simply can state that warranties
cannot be voided because aftermarket consumables are used, and prohibit
technological means that prevent use of aftermarket consumable or reduce
functionality of the printer, or permit their circumvention, regardless of
the DMCA and patent laws

THAT IS BULLSHIT. WHY SHOULD A PRINTER OEM HAVE TO PAY TO REPAIR DAMAGE
DONE BY ANOTHER COMPANY.

IN A FREE SOCIETY THEY CAN DESIGN THE PRINTER TO BE THE BEST IT CAN BE
WITHOUT THAT RESTRICTION.

Quite right, especially since their is no evidence that quality aftermarket
inks ( and there are many good ones) damage printers although they do damage
OEM profits.

Just picked up an IP4000 from OfficeMax for $124 after the $10 gift card.

Thanks again for your help in this decision. One is better than none.
