THANKS!!!!!!!!
 I really did not expect to get such good news.

Here is what I plan (eventually) to do to our
Canon S600 printer:

1. Use my Dremel tool with a tiny drill bit
and drill a hole in the top of each of the 4
cartridges. Then, place a stainless or brass screw in
each hole that can be removed. It will seal the hole
"air tight".  I suspect that if you do not seal the hole air
tight, the ink may leak out.  Just a guess, as the original
design (before the hole) was air tight, i.e., no hole there:-)

2. Order these four inks in bulk from
http://www.misterinkjet.com/c-s-printstation-bulk.htm
BCI-3eBK,  BCI-3eC,  BCI-3eM,  BCI-3eY
I understand that the "e" inks are the same as,
or equivalent to the original Canon S600 inks.

3. Go to my friendly drug store & get 4 cheap
(<$1) shot needle syringes - like diabetics use.
I will dress neatly & wear a short sleeve shirt
so they will not think that I am a drug addict.

4. Fill the cartridges as needed & tell my friends & neighbors
how clever we are.

If I've missed anything, please advise.


There are, however, lingering questions :-)

1. Is their "e" ink the "same" as the OEM Canon S600 stuff?
2. Will their "e" ink fade out with time?

(the above two are rather academic & not very important)

3. The big question is:  Where do we go to buy Photo Quality
Paper in BULK?  We have been having good luck with the
cheap GQ 8.5x11" PHOTO GLOSSY PAPER  from Fry's
Austin for $3.99 per 20 sheets. However, the Canon
GLOSSY PHOTO PAPER $8.99/20 sheets (GP-301) does
produce a  better photo. So where can we buy bulk paper similar
to the Canon GP-301?      URL :-)

Thanks again,
Gene
