    PG 240 and CL 241 cartridges

    My son had a MX 700 which he recently destroyed. Because it used the PGI5 and CLI8 cartridges I was able to refill for him. He's bought a printer which uses a PG 240 and a CL 241. Are these refillable and is there a resetter available for them? Thanks for any replies.

    Gray scale prints with greenish tone

    Ink for PGI-5 and CLI-8 cartridges

    I have been buying my ink from A Lot of Things and had excellent results. Apparently their supplier, Sensient(Formulabs ink), has been sold to a Chinese company and they no longer have ink for Canon printers.
