Re: Don't by canon ink

Years ago when colour inkjets became affordable I bought a Canon printer (no multifunction then) because it had 4 separate ink tanks that were independent of the head. You could buy kits to refill them that consisted of 4 bottles and 4 syringes. You filled the syringe and poked the needle through the foam bit on the bottom of the tank (this was the hole that interfaced with the head) and squidged the ink in.

If you were lucky the ink remained confined to the syringe and tank, if not then life became interesting.

Even now about 30 years later I still have a duster for something that has a huge cyan stain on.
