It has taken me about 2 years to use my 4oz bottles, in that time they have changed formulation to their new Signature Edition. My basic question is can I just refill my cartridges with the new inks or do I need to flush them. I have watched the "print man" video's where he recommends buying new cartridges as he did with the yellow (when changing from OEM to PC), with the alternative being flushing with ammonia. Has anybody made this change? Any problems?

I am tiling my fireplace so I may not respond right away, thank you.

I made the switch without flushing. No problems. Have used PC inks for 3 years.

I have a question for you. When you switched from OEM ink to PC ink did you have to change any settings to get the same quality images as you did using OEM?
I’m not trying to hijack this link, but I felt it was pertinate.

I downloaded ICC profiles provided by Precision Colors for Canon papers that I primarily use. It made subtle, but noticeable, differences in quality of prints.
