Sheliajay I had a similar problem when our puppy got hold of 2 ink cartridges needless to say we had black and yellow ink all through the house. I used Folex instant spot remover, spray on the spot and blot with a clean white rag. do not rub as this can cause it to spred. as it is coming up you may need to hit it with another spray just be paient it will work Karla

I need a printer for text and some photos, as noted in my first post. I spent many hours reading reviews and there was no stand-out. Several days ago, my SIL sent a photo she printed at home of an online image of an oil painting. It was so outstanding, I could hardly believe my eyes. Hers is a Canon Pixma mg5320. I ordered an updated version, Canon Pixma mg6320 which has a gray cartridge for better b/w photos. This printer is mainly for text but I was really wowed by her photo, esp as she is not a tech person.

Anyone use the inexpensive replacement inkjet cartridges from companies like LDproducts? For my Canon printer, they have 15 cartridges for $40. Probably made to a low quality standard in China, but the price is so attractive compared to the Canon OE cartriges at $10-12 apiece. Ilene, good suggestion about the .pdf file "print" software that is free for download. The one I use is primo.pdf. I don't think everyone knows about this useful option. I get a very long life out of Canon S600 cartridges by using the custom print setting with fast print quality and auto (fast) halftoning. This results in less ink use than with the draft setting. They both say 600 dpi, but this custom setting is faster and the text is grey black instead of jet balck with the draft setting. It also works fine with color maps I print. Text is still highly legible and makes two sided printing not show through the page. Cost per page is very low, even with the Canon cartridges. You can save custom settings with most printers.

Thank you for your interest in Hewlett-Packard products. All of the ink used in our inkjet printers are acid free but are not recommended for archival purposes. The reason for this is the ink is not bonded to the paper during the printing process. A LaserJet is a better solution for archiving because the toner is bonded to the paper in the fusing assembly, so it will last as long as the print media lasts.
