No problem.
As always Jose fantastic information. I started refilling my Pro 100 Cartridges following your advice 2 years ago, and anyone who follows exactly your advice to the letter will not experience any problems. Your vlogs are always worth going back to and anyone who is considering refilling Please follow Jose. Happy New year.
Thank your sir.
Thank You for your time and explanation , I recently bought the Pro 100 and now bought a complete 8-set ink replacement. I will look forward to filling my ink. If you could actually perform the "ball" removal and drilling the cartridge with a close up for beginners like me, that would be of tremendous help... Thank You.
Jose, thanks for all the videos of this process. Followed it and even bought a couple of clean and modified sets from Rick Johnson. Just as advertise. Cleaned a couple of sets from ebay. A lot of work and effort. Rick's products are great for the price. Printing has been great all because I follow your advice! Thank you!
Now that you know the amount of work that takes you appreciate that for $60 you don't need to spend hours or even days working. And his are expertly modified.
Hi Jose, I only recently started watching and following your channel. I started looking for a printer after getting rid of my old Canon all-in-one but didn't want to spend constantly on cartridges. I was eyeing the Epson EcoTank line, but none did 13x19 except the ET-16500, but at $700. So then I looked at the Epson XP-15000 but those have single use chips only, but was willing to compromise.
I'm a Sony photographer so for some reason i wasn't really looking at Canon printers till I saw your videos. Today I saw a Canon Pro 100 listed on FB market for a REALLY cheap price. I was skeptical at first but I said eff it, i'll meet up with the guy. He put me at ease and showed me his print business and seem legit. So now I'm the proud owner of a Canon PRO 100 that I purchased for the low price of $60. Yes, $60!
I already printed out some test photos on some Epson Premium Matte paper I had already, and I'm already super impressed. Can't wait to get some actual photo paper, glossy and metallic to do more prints, and also order a refill kit.
Thank you for your videos and all the knowledge you share. This has definitely reinvigorated my passion for photography now that I can have something tangible.
You just bought of the best printer in the market today. Enjoy the trip! Get the precisioncolors.com PC42SE Complete kit and watch my CLI-42 and pro100 videos. I have the largest video library on that printer and all aspects about it.
Thanks for another very informative video. If I may add a comment for your British and European viewers, Mr Johnston, as a rule, does not ship to the UK (although he did offer to ship me some plugs) on a one time basis. I believe Octoinkjet.co.uk can supply genuine modified cartridges also genuine modified cartridges filled with their ink. Just one thing, I believe they use tapered plugs and do not drill the seats out. I have no commercial relationship with Octoinkjet.
Tapered pugs can and do slip back into once they become wet. Drilling the seat and forcing the straight sided plug will produce the seal you need. I can see and undrilled plug hole slowly causing a leak out. Because the plug just sits there. For perfect seal It need to be forced beyond the seat. It compresses tightly against it and the part of the plug that passes past the seat re expands creating that perfect seal. Fell free to use those but I wouldn't. Not worth it just to eliminate the drilling out of the seat. I believe on doing this correctly the first time.
Jose Rodriguez I agree 100%.
Great detailed explanation. Just got some empty cartridges to modify.
Go for it. Drill them carefully!
Good morning Ruco!
Been awhile since I've dropped in.
Wife is going to sew up some cotton..and years back I did "Iron Transfers" for her apron projects.
Now to the point, going to use the 100 for the first time on transfer paper.
I assume you mean the PRO100. Be aware this can only be used for iron on transfers not for sublimation.
@@cheo1949 yes, Iron on transfers. TY
Hello Jose, I have a problem with my Canon Pro 100. It sends me a message that my cartridges are out of ink, I use the continuous ink system, how can I delete this notice so that it doesn't bother me anymore? thanks for your answer
Hi, thanks for your many nice videos, I am Finnish, but they still are easy to follow. You don't speak too fast :) Could you recommend some 3rd party ink for PRO 100 I can buy from Europe? Br, Eeli
Does anyone know where I can find the ink holder caddy on top of the canon (the round one holding eight bottles)? I've wasted hours searching with no luck.
Given I've been using OEM for over a year I've got several full sets of empty carts. I might try cleaning them out and modifying them just in case I ever decide to try refilling 😋
Try it.
So overwhelming. My kits just arrived, and I'm pretty nervous. Not about the modifying per see, but the possibility of drying out, bubbles, the need for flushing, making some sort of mistake that will ruin my machine... D: So many things! I watched a few before ordering, but it seems more complicated now that I'm actually about need do it.....
You can do it!
First, I would like to say thank you for your very helpful videos. I refilled all my Pixma Pro 100 ink cartridges the first time with no problem. The second time around, my chip resetter appears to not be working. Is there a way to get the printer to print without a 2nd reset until my next resetter can be ordered? When I re-insert the cartridge, the light is flashing and it will not print. Precision Colors is on vacation and not shipping until later this month. Help please?
Hello Jose, I have a question about a cannon pro 100 printer. How would someone go about preparing a pro 100 for long team storage. I am moving and I’m not sure how long I will have to store this printer. I would appreciate any help on this
@jose Rodriguez, Do I need to wash/clean the printer head before I use Non-OEM? I have seen your few other videos where you have discovered the Gello effect for Yellow Color. I want to switch to PC (Non-OEM) ink so want to take precautions.
Thank you for very informative video. 1 question I have is after I flushed and cleaned the OEM Yellow cartridge and filled it with PC color. Do I have to flush the the cartridge every time it runs low before refilling it with the PC color? Or is it just the first time In order to get rid of OEM color?
Jose thank you for the refesh on how to. please tell me If i have NEW original Canon used cartridges with little bit of canon ink in them (not yellow) can i top them up with the precision inks (standard inks) with out flushing them? OR do i for the first time changing from Canon ink to Precision need to flush the first time? so i'm then going from Precision ink to precision ink from then on? cheers Donna
I did say you could MOD and top them off without flushing.
Except for yellow of course.
Yes I was paying attention @@cheo1949 I did hear you say that. But I was being extra careful because I was uncertain if you meant top up from OEM to PC, or PC to PC... I wanted to confirm it was ok to do that Thanks for the confirmation (i have a fully clean one for yellow) i'm ready to dive in Yay!
I'm seeing a full kit on Precision Colors. Can you comment on their cartridges?
DO not buy the NON OEM Refillables. The Best reliable method is to Modify your OWN OEM carts. You can buy full sets already modified on EBAY
@@cheo1949 Thanks. I couldn't tell if they were or not from the pics.
They have a kit without the cartridges. I'll get that and then the cartridges from the link you provided!
Jose I must say your Channel is outstanding! With your knowledge my prints have gotten better and better. I do have a two questions, do I have to replace all cartridges at the same time when going from OEM to refill or can they be replaced as they empty out? And how often do you flush the yellow? Is it ever time you refill? As I am looking into getting Richards already done cartridges. And purchasing the ink thru PC.. thanks buddy
You can do one at a time. You will get a replacement flushed cart for the yellow. You will remove that chip and replace with your yellow chip. You do not flush any of you carts when you refill from now on. Keep in mind you only have a few minutes to do any of this once you open the printer lid and the printhead moves to the center.
@@cheo1949 thanks so much for everything . be safe out there
Good tips!
Great videos Jose thanks so much. Quick Question: at precision inks they sell the 16oz and 32oz. about how many fill ups per cart for the 16oz kit?
If you fill as soon as your carts get the low warning it takes only 7-8 ml to refill the liquid chamber. 2oz bottles are about 60ml give or take.
Hi Jose! I am wondering are the precision inks considered archival quality like Canon's? They promise 100+ years if used with good photo paper. Thanks for your videos I'm getting started with a pro 100 now!
No 3rd party inks are archival. Even OEM. How long is archival anyway? Paper coating. Paper base material. Paper Ph. Display conditions. Levels of UV. Levels of Ozone. Humidity. Temperature. Physical handling. To name a few of the factors that affect longevity. Multiply them together and you have a multitude of conditions that will all have a effect on print longevity.
Jose, just going through my initial set of OEM cartridges now but I'm seriously considering following your directions and refilling my used up OEM cartridges in the future. Question I have is regarding the yellow cartridge. If I follow all your directions for flushing, resetting and refilling and use the refilled cartridges for a time, is there any danger of nozzle plugging in the printer if I at some point go back to using a brand new Yellow Canon OEM cartridge? Thanks for your reply. Jim
Yes. Make a choice and stick with it. If you still want to use OEM Yellow always then you can simply run one cleaning cycle and you'll be fine. I would not be switching back and forth.
Stoked! Just ordered a set of refill kit from precission colors. Do I understand it correctly that it is safe to top up original colors (except the yellow) with replacement ink? Or should I let them fully run out of ink before filling up?
Mod Reset Top Off when low. Never empty. You want to reduce ANY amount of air from migrating into the sponge. It will reduce ink infiltration into it as you refill.
Hi I have a Canon pro 100 and just today it failed on me and i herd a snap coming from the printer and it had the middle button blinking like for the paper feed thing...when I opened it to see inside i noticed there was a long clear plastic thing hanging off but it don't look ripped just like if it came off of something and it has a rectangle notch on the plastic clear long strip but I do not know where it goes attached... would you happen to know how to fix it or where it goes?
If it is about 3/16" wide and the length of the print head travel it is the decoder strip. It is held by springs on either end and is threaded through a sensor behind the Print Head assembly. If it is just detached and I don't know why that would ever happen you can reattach it CAREFULLY. But if it no longer attached to the print head carriage then it is a no go. You will have to have it serviced.
@@cheo1949 it sounds like it...i wish i know how to send a picture here hehe to show you.
Love your videos! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge! I watched your videos recommending InkOwl Inks. Do you think the InkOwl refill cartridges for the Canon Pro 100 would not be garbage? I tried finding Rick Johnson on Ebay, but I don't think he is making the cartridges anymore. Thank you so much! :)
I also recommended Precisioncolor. Better inks. But you have to modify your own original CLI-42 CARTS to refill them. And you would need a chip resetter as well. I do not recommend any pre filled 3rd party cart or so called refillable carts.
@@cheo1949 You are simply the best sir! Thank you so much! Love your channel! I'm currently watching all your videos in your CLI-42 playlist and Canon Pro 100 playlists. Really can't thank you enough; you are so smart! :)
On precision colors website they now say the yellow OEM is compatible with there ink...have you tried this?
So he finally got the nerve to officially say that. Well.....we tried and tried and we cannot duplicate the GELLING reaction with the new SE yellow ink. So I guess it's official.
@@cheo1949 thanks for the clarification
I don't see the link to order this?
I stated precicioncolors.com
Hi José!...
Could you please recommend me a printer up to 8x10 for black & white photographs? I'm really lost in the middle of so many printers!
CANON Pro-100 Pro-10 EPSON P600
Joe, after watching your videos and talking to Mike at Precision colors, I have flushed and dried all my empty OEM carts for the Pro 100. I want to ask you how exactly to store these empty carts. I planned on filling them with ink as OEM's go low since this is transition period. So, question 1: after flush and dry (using digital scale), should I store the emptied and clean carts without top plugs and bottom clip? question 2: re. the PC refill bottles (2 oz bottles), I wonder where and how to store them so as not contaminate them. I currently have them in dark closet in a tupperware container. I live in Florida...lots of humidy. Should I store these bottles in the refrigerator?
Finally, when I get to the point where I have a complete backup of PC carts (8) filled and waiting, should I store those in the refrigerator. I guess I am concerned now re. expiration of inks and effect of florida humidity. thanks!
Either way. It's not an issue. You might as well pop the plugs in and the orange clips. You have the 3rd party clips or the originals?
@Jose Rodriguez Photo Printing Techie I have the 3rd party plugs and clips. Re. longer storage with carts that have been refilled AND the refill bottle inks from PC, Should i just keep them in the tupperware container in dark closet or refrigerator?
Can u change the ink to sublimation ink in the Canon pro 100
Nope. You need a Cold Firing printhead ie EPSON. Canon uses Thermal Printheads.
Hello Jose, been watching your vids from Australia for a while, they are a great resource!
I just came across a deal on a PRO 1 i couldnt pass up and have followed your advice on getting it going since it was laying idle for a while and was clogged. it now runs perfectly however i have a couple questions:
-the internal fan seems to run permanently while the printer is printing... is this normal? i read this printer was quiet as a mouse and it probably would be if it wasnt for the quite loud fan
-secondly i dont see any saturation control in the driver... am i missing it somewhere? the prints are very neutral but id like to amp saturation just a little without using the vivid mode which makes things look cartoonish
thx for any help
Color/Intensity Manual Adjustment. Only on the Windows driver.
@@cheo1949 thanks mate, wasnt sure what that referred to, seemed odd they didnt just use the more common term saturation anywhere. any thoughts on the fan, does yours operate constantly while printing? thx again
Saturation slider among others is there. Click on that little box
@@cheo1949 not sure what your referring to, theres no saturation slider anywhere
Where do I buy the required items online? What Ink Company is highly recommended to buy online? Please give links.
www.precisioncolors.com
You say fill until 1/8 from the top. What weight should you fill to?
It's a visual process not weight process like with the PRO10 carts.
Visual. I always say about 80% full on the fill side or as Jose says, 1/8" from the top.
Maybe not exactly the Same but good enough.
Don't mix your clips up on your carts or you will contaminate your carts with the wrong colors. Don't ask me how I know this. ;)
I recently started making available PADS for the Orange Clips because they do get yucky. Pads and Clips to help with this problem.
Indeed.
