How do you fill the hole after refilling cartridges?

I currently use sticky electrical tape but there has to be a better
way! 





Hot glue gun plus a small tab of duct tape works great, is easy to
pull off for next refill. This avoids small air leaks that lead to
dripping with canon cartridges.





CANON OEM CARTS NEVER DRIP






Hey, you're right for once!  I just drilled a 1/8" hole at the top of
my newly empty Canon carts and filled them with fresh HobbiColors ink.


YOU HAVE NO IDEA WHAT YOU REFILLED THE CARTS WITH CAUSE THEY WILL NOT TELL YOU. ALL YOU KNOW IS YOU WENT TO A WEBSTORE AND BOUGHT SOMETHING
FROM THAT PLACE.



Sure I do. It's on the HobbiColors website - http://www.hobbicolors.com/page3.html

*Latest generation colorants for maximum color purity, vibrancy and wide
 gamut to achieve optimal inkjet photo printing performance.

*Rapid lubricant additive for cleaning printhead orifices to reduce
 residual dye accumulation.

*Ink volatility enhancer to speed up ink drying time to increase edge
 sharpness.

*Advanced additives of solubilizing agent, surfactant and penetrant.

*Anti-evaporation additive (humectant) to inhibit ink volatilization and
 prevent printhead clogging.

*Anti-filtration additive to render reliably the vibrancy of the three
primary colors.

*Precision spectral matching technology.

*Biocide additive to prevent bacteria growing.

Now show me the specifics of what's in Canon brand ink so I know what I'm
getting, Measekite. The website, please. Jeff



Between you and I, Jeff, I think that would be a Canon secret. They will
not tell you what's in the ink NOR who made it. We know *they* didn't,
they're not an ink manufacturer.
