Ok currently I have a canon all in one printer. Getting shot of it as I just put some new ink cartridge in and it already gone down a 3rd hardly done anything.

Are this canon pro printer good with ink
 
They're not too bad. I'm using refillable cartridges with mine however and produce a lot of prints so it's hard to measure. The cartridges don't really hold much ink to begin with which is worth noting.
 
What printer you got pls and cartridge

It's a Pro 100 using modified Canon cartridges. The ink is from Precision Colors in America.

Ive not heard of this solution I've tried the continues systems but couldn't get on with them. How does it compare with genuine ink? Are you using a profile or is it fine off the shelf?

There a no continuous ink systems for the Canon printers (or atleast definitely not for the pro 100). The results are identical because this is the only company who offer colour matched inks. I also profile my paper and ink combinations anyway.

Are you in the US or are you shipping it to UK? I'm really interested in this ink.

So you mod and reset genuine cartridges rather than blanks?

I'm in the UK. I just get the bottles shipped over.

The cartridges have to be drilled so you can insert a plug but that's about it. You can also use a chip-resetter to get the accurate ink level information. I originally ordered a kit from them to do this. take a look at there website: http://www.precisioncolors.com/PC42cref.html

I take it you're happy with the results?

Thanks for the info I might be getting this setup. I would prefer to print my own and a printer and ink can go through the business.
 
you could also try this company - I don't use them myself, but a friend does and he is very happy with the results (and his prints stood up to scrutiny by the adjudication panel at the RPS when he was awarded his licentiateship)

Firstly that's nonsense, secondly, how can it use 245 percent of its ink?
 
Sorry meant to say 25 percent lol
 
I have a Canon Pro-100. I often don't use it for a month or two. Seems perfectly happy. Never had a problem. Nor do I ever have that kind of problem with my other cheap and cheerful 3-colour Canon copy/printer -- unlike my earlier Epson, which was always needing extensive head cleaning. Secondly it must be rubbish that it uses 25% of the ink if left for more than a week, since that would have galloped through all my ink in four goes, and it most certainly hasn't got anywhere near that. You mustn't believe everything you read on the internet as Abraham Lincoln often used to say.
 
I print a couple hundred pages a day so that's no issue anyway.
