E Ink Store

I could no longer print because the waste ink absorber is already full..can any body help me locate the ink absorber in my mp150 canon printer? bringing it to the canon service center would cost me some extra amount.

I think if you open the lid look under the cartridges you should see an ink well with a sponge which is where the waste ink will be i always just get a dry cloth and clean out what i can get at and that usually will let you print again

if i were to print pages of yellow, cyan, and magenta so it looks like the formation of a french flag(or something like it), how many sheets can i print with one new, full ink cartridge at home?
w/ medium quality, an average size of ink cartridge
OKAY FINE!!!

<u>APPROXIMATELY</u>!!!!

im not a researcher in a rocket science project, alright?

depends on the print quality dpi, size of the print cartridges ect

I know there are places where you can donate to recycle used cartridges, and to sell them for cash or credit, but what about an actual exchange? Maybe a place that sells refilled print cartridges that offers an additional discount if you bring in your old ones. By mail or delivery maybe?

I’d recommend the recycling service found here: http://www.castleink.com/_recycle-ink-cartridges.html

I don’t buy name brand because the generic works just as well. But no one seems to want them for recycling.

Walgreens will refill them for you.

installed a new cartridge,but any way,now i have awas not printing propery tho it showed the ink was fine,i still color ink cartridge open now how do i keep it from spoiling ,i hate to waste new ink?

do NOT put the tape back on, you will more than likely mix up all your colours this way. the suggestion about putting it (ink ports facing up, off the plastic!) in the fridge is perfect though.

Where would one find it?

I want a good one, with each color in a seperate cartridge. Printer must also have scanner and fax features. Thanks.

It depends on your needs, but you can’t go wrong with Canon. I’m looking into upgrading to the MP810 because its wireless capability, LCD screen, and all-in-one features. That goes for $244 on Amazon. You can get a similar one for much cheaper w/o the wireless.

I have been happy with Canon. I currently own a Pixma IP4000 which has transparent individual ink cartridges where you can literally see how ink you have left.

At the time HP, Epson, or Lexmark had didn’t have clear cartridges.

I have a canon mp460 and i put new ink cartridges in, but it says low black and colour ink.
How can i refresh the ink levels so it shows i have full ink?
Thanks!

If you have put in genuine Canon cartridges, contact Canon support for advice.
If you have refilled in any other way, your printer cannot detect ink levels. If you have used a refill kit, you might have problems if you return your printer for repair under warranty as evidence of refilling is the first thing checked for

I heard from one of my friend that we can earn money by Recycle inkjet cartridges. Is it true? How can one do it?

Here are the top 5 biggest reasons to recycle your empty inkjet cartridges.

First of all, each cartridge that is recycled saves almost 3 pounds of natural resources associated with the production of a new cartridge.

Second, each inkjet cartridge that is recycled also saves an average of 3.5 ounces of oil. With the worldwide demand for oil on the rise and supplies shrinking, a little effort can make a significant impact over time.

The third reason you should recycle or reuse your empty inkjet cartridges is to reduce the strain on local landfills. An inkjet cartridge does not biodegrade in a landfill, as other waste will over time. Once a cartridge is discarded, it will be there for several hundred years.

It is estimated that over 300 million printer cartridges are disposed of in landfills annually. That creates 75,000 tons of waste each year, which is equal in weight to more than 30,500 African Elephants!

The forth reason is that recycled and remanufactured inkjet cartridges save money. Recycling your empty cartridges provides empty cores to cartridge remanufacturing companies that, in turn, professionally refill and sell to users at a discounted price. Consumers will see the same reliability, performance and quality as using an original brand OEM cartridge but at a lower cost.

Finally, recycling ink cartridges is fast and easy. Many companies that sell remanufactured cartridges either at the retail level or online also have a recycling program.

So yeah, I have an Epson Stylus CX7400 printer, and I’m trying to print using only the color ink cartridges because despite having just replaced all four, the black has already run out. The printer will sometimes offer to use the color cartridges to do a composite with pink, yellow, and blue, but I don’t know how to make it just do that.

Is there any way to do this, or does there have to be at least a little black ink for it to print in composite mode?

I’d advise against ever running your printer when one of the cartridges is empty. You could definitely do damage to it, so it is really not worth the risk.

I have a dell printer but don’t want to order them, I just want to go to a store and pick them up. It also came with "trial" cartridges; can those be refilled so they last as long as a regular or replacment cartridges?

Those bastards at Dell want you to think that you can use only their cartridges, but I have discovered that the printer I have will take cartridges for a Lexmark ( I think Lexmark makes it). All I had to do was break a couple of little plastic tabs off the inside of the top cover and Voila! they fit just fine.
