Mike K.,
DavidF is correct about www.alotofthing.com. Back when you purchased the
i860, I sent a copy of the refill instructions to you. Did you ever receive
them? If you go to the eBay site for alotofthings the prices are a little
lower than from his web site (and those prices are pretty low as well). Use
this link
http://stores.ebay.com/ALOT-OF-THING...playZ2 QQtZkm.
The ink is manufactured by Sensient-Formulabs in San Diego, not China. Also
see www.formulabs.com. There is quite a bit of information there and it
should settle any qualms you may have about refilling. Using a quality ink
like Formulabs won't damage the printheads. Refilling the Canon tanks is
very easy. I've been refilling Canon ink tanks for several years without any
problems. Hop over to comp.periphs.printers and you'll find a world of info
on refilling.

Mike,

Ron Cohen sent some good instructions and tips about refilling Canons to
me
some time ago. He suggested http://www.alotofthings.com as his favorite
supplier. If you want a copy of his detailed instructions, please post an
address, and I'll send them along.

I have a Canon i860 that seems to drink ink. I like the job it does, but
the ink costs are digging into my wallet. I've read posts about
refilling the containers, some good and some bad. Does anyone have any
long-term experiences to relate? Does using a refill system cause
problems with the print head down the road? Do you have a system you
recommend? Are they messy?

Merry Christmas
Mike
