I don't think they can do this in Canada

I just got notice that Ausjet inks have the 525/526 resetters available

I have used the German Method to refill these, I added one more sense to the method.......hearing. When I inserted the syringe all the way to the reservoir, injected the ink, then held it to my ear, you can hear the sponge soaking up the ink, the air bubbles make noise, when it stops, the sponge...

I think The Hat was just thanking you for doing a good deed:)

You might want to read this little bit on another forum, it will help......... http://www.imagerzone.com/ForumsPro/viewtopic/t=18545.html

Ink starvation can happen with a cartridge right out of the box, the cartridge may have been malfunctioning right from the start, try another one to rule it out.

Looks like ink starvation, I would try another 3e bk before you burn out your print head.

Rumor has it, May is the date the resetter will be available.

When you cleaned the print head, HOW did you clean it?

I say refilling by hand as well, I have been in the business for 14 years, refilling by hand. I belong to 4 forums including this one, and I see so many have problems with machine filling cartridges and I just shake my head. I don't have anywhere near the problems with cartridges as they do, I...

I tried this on my Pixma ip4200 to get the extended nozzle check pattern, worked fine.

There are absorbent pads on the inside bottom of the printer, there is tubing attached to the cleaning station, which gets pumped through the tubing into the absorbent pads. Eventually these pads will need replacing, and the printer will tell you by exhibiting a service error, either by flashing...

I would say... if ink is being squeezed out when resetting, then you have over filled the cartridge.

I second what Emerald said.

The Hat is right

No resetters available, chip has not been cracked, and word has it, it will be a while before they do, if they even can. I refill via German Method, haven't had any problems thus far.

Most refill using the German method, as the cartridges are similar to Canon PG-5 and CLI-8 etc.

MrElmo is correct, there is a window on the side, and you can see via bottom as well, BUT.......Canon has added another brick wall to try and make refilling harder, the newest 221 and 220s on the shelves of Staples, and Walmart, are solid colour. They have taken the window out, now I haven't...

I have refilled these cartridges with the German method, I held the cartridge to my ear when the substrate was absorbing the ink, you can hear the bubbles, as it is absorbing the ink. When I didn't hear the bubbling anymore, I assumed the substrate had absorbed what it wanted, and topped up the...
