While checking out a local thrift store, I stumbled across this Canon Typestar 10-II Electronic Typewriter that I picked up for $8.00. Features - 16 Character LCD Display - Thermal Transfer Printing - Print Intensity Adjustment - 60,000 Word Spell Checker - Can run off of 4 D Batteries Unfortunately this keyboard did not come with a power cable, so I will have to dig around and see if I have one that will power it. Also the ribbon for this typewriter is apparently a pain to find, so this may sit on the back burner for a short period. All in all, I think it was a pretty neat find.

We now have a! It's not much to look at currently, but it's a start. Recently, I've been on the hunt locally for a typewriter and didn't seem to care which one for my first. My luck led me towards this Canon Typestar 220 which seems to be from the late '80s-ish. It types well, great condition, and all the functions seem to work. Here's my only issue– this type of electric typewriter seems to need a cartridge to transfer the ink onto the paper but the exact cartridge (CR-100) has been long discontinued.
I haven't given up and began to do some research. I found out that these machines don't require their cartridge and can write on fax paper (something like a carbon paper or thermal transfer.) I don't have any experience with typewriters at the moment and would appreciate any advice if someone has come through this sort of problem. If someone knows what paper I can work on or any generic cartridge that could work on this model, please help a brother out. Appreciate any help. While you're searching for whatever anybody advises regarding the thermal ink ribbon cartridges, you can indeed use thermal fax paper (which is nothing at all like carbon paper nor like thermal transfer paper, if by that you mean the same thing that I understand it to be). You may find thermal fax paper in 8-1/2 x 11 inch sheets but it is more commonly found in 8-1/2 inch wide rolls, which you can use as a BAROP or cut into lengths.
(It's also available in 2-1/4 inch wide rolls for calculators.). Office supply stores or ask at offices that have ditched their fax machines. Only thing to watch out for is that one side is more sensitive to heat so you should devise some way to keep track of which side is which. Be aware that the stuff is heat-sensitive so store it in a cool, dark place. My test page has been in a sunny window for a couple of months and, while not looking fresh, is still quite readable; think of years-old faxes or store receipts that you have seen. Or use a photocopy for long-term use after printing.

HTH and Have Fun! I’m on the hunt for a ‘wedge’ typewriter like the Typestar myself, specifically because they can use thermal fax paper. It’s a big strength of those kinds of machines, IMO. Take the empty cartridge out and you’re ready to type on the fax paper. Listen to what the other poster said about keeping track of which side is more sensitive. The cartridges might as well be made of unobtanium, and they only lasted a few pages anyways. The best part for me about the thermal fax is that I can slip a roll on and not have to worry about replacing the paper every page!
Just double space every ten inches and I can cut it up later. I’d only use it for drafts though, since it will fade over time. If you want a typewriter to do a lot of writing, I’d get a brother ML-100 or anything similar; a cheap electric with correction tape. I’ve got a pristine SM-9 that I never use because it tires my fingers out and is a pain to correct mistakes.
I got the ml100 for free when clearing out someone’s storage warehouse for them and it’s a joy to type on, ink is cheap and readily available, and it’s easy to format and word correct, etc. It’s also dirt cheap from what I see online, even for brand new ones.
Look inside the instruction book that came with the printer. It lists the proper number of the items required even Ink for your printer. You have to buy the right size. Or look online on the web under Canon PIXMA MP160 All-in-One InkJet Printer. Maybe even just look under Canon Printers and it will lead you to the correct type number of ink cartridges required for your machine. Make sure you get the correct number, size etc.and follow directions how to install. Did you know, I found out Ink Cartridges are ALMOST the SAME PRICE AS The Entire Printer????
That ink costs a bundle! Sobolsoft license registration key serial. At least me, I think I found my Ink replacements online purchase on sale, at OfficeMax.
I had to orderr online, then go pick it up at the store itself. It was more expensive than the printer was!
What the heck?????julie Jul 04, 2014. The bad news: Canon does not make any new printers that use those ink tanks. Their line of new consumer printers is the PIXMA series. None of these printers uses the BCI-3 series of ink tanks. I am sorry for the bad news. The good news: I have personally been successful in finding used, operational printers for $1 to $5 from local thrift stores and for a little more at local 'Recycled, Used, Computer' type of stores.
You may even try craigslist and put out a wanted ad for the models below. Anyway I hope this helps you out. Here is a list of models that use all of the BCI-3e series of Black and Color tanks Color Printers: i550, s400, s450, s500, s520, s530d s600, s630, s630 Network, s750, all BJC-3000 Series Multifunction Printers: MultiPass F30, MultiPass F50, MultiPass F60,MultiPass F80 Other Color Printers (partially compatable) i560 & i860 (only uses the BCI-3 black tanks.but BCI-6 for colors) Feb 07, 2010.
