In my experience with ink printers, I have understand that the main problem with them is that the ink is dissolved by water and most of the paper glues that I use, like white glue, are water based, which make unwanted smudges over the print. At this time most of the companies makes black ink which is resistant to water, but there is only one company which makes all colors water resistant. It's Epson and their brand of printers using DURABrite inks. http://www.epson.com/cgi-bin/Store/Landing/DuraBrite.jsp?BV_UseBVCookie=yes
I have Epson D88 and it is a perfect printer. It's very old model now, but is works very well. The problem with this printer is the ink price. It's expensive, but hey, no any smudges anymore! Only genuine inks have to be used, all other replacement inks are bad. Another problem with Epson printers is that they have to be used all the time. The printer head is not replaceable, and if the printer is not used for a 2-3 months (2-3 full colored pages each month will be enough), some of the printer head nozzles will stop to work. Another solution for the smudges is the Color Laser printer. HP and Samsung have cheap laser printer models which have acceptable print quality. The price of the toner is very high, but one cartridge last thousands of pages and compared with the ink price, it's almost free. The problem with the Laser prints come when scoring models. The toner just brakes and fell off of the paper. This can be avoid again by using only quality toner and very good quality paper Regards Georgi Krastev On Mon, Oct 3, 2011 at 2:50 PM, DougT <[email protected]> wrote: > Try this out > > http://www.inkproducts.com/ink-store441/product.php?productid=224&cat=46&page=1 > It is a chip resetter for the ink cartridges used on the PIXMA MX870. > I have a refill kit from Inkproducts.com for a Canon PIXMA MG5220 that > included a chip resetter.
