For those new carts with chips, I know we can disable the monitoring to continue to use them. I don't care about ink level report, but will I still get a warning message when the tank is empty? We know that there is a prism in the Canon tank for empty detection, this has nothing to do with the...

I have a red resetter for Canon PGI-5 and CLI-8 carts. Recently it no longer work, red light never come on. The problem is the push-down plastic (black) which is supposed to push a power switch inside. Somehow after several months this plastic can no longer push the switch all way down. The fix...

The key difference between B and F is the position of right reflector. No need to cut the square holes for reflectors - just tape them on the top surface. Made...

I bought a Canon MP600 recently and noticed a very strange issue. When I print in duplex and fast mode, the quality becomes horrible. If in non-duplex mode, fast mode is as good (even better to me) as normal but much faster. In duplex mode, only normal mode is acceptable. I wonder do all Canon...
