My resetter seems to quit working. How can I bypass the error message and force it to print when I know I have full carts? thanks

Outside this forum I have never met anyone who refills. There must not be a significant number or the manufacturers would make non refillable cartridges.

When I bought a Pro-100 2 years ago I put my 6520 aside and have not touched it since. It had the color carts refilled with gray and I used it as a dedicated B&W printer. Tonight I wanted a B&W print with no color cast in incandescent light so I hooked up the 6520 , ran a nozzle check...

I refilled a year old bone dry magenta cl42 cart. My first 2 prints looked awful so I did a nozzle check on my pro 100. The magenta rectangle was completely white. Not a drop of ink, so I inserted a OEM cart and it now prints fine. My question is why didn't the print head "Burn up"? I...

What is the difference between Standard and High print quality settings. High seems to be slower, but on a glossy 5 x 7 I don't see any difference in the images. Maybe I'm not doing everything I should be doing.

I put a leaky magenta cart in my pixma 6520 ( 5 cart system). I thought it had quit dripping. Now my print came out with magenta smeared over a third of the print. I turned it off immediately and haven't tried any thing yet. I hope someone can tell me what to do next before I really mess...

I'm using a Pixma 4920 with 221 carts and 225 chips. The printer is telling me my yellow is low but I can clearly see the cart is nearly full. Is this because the resetter didn't work? will it hurt anything to try resetting with it full of ink? If I just keep on using it without doing anything...

I am using my Pixma 4280 for B&W only. I just replaced my opaque 226 carts with the cl-221 with 226 chips. Now my prints have horizontal lines about 1mm wide that have a slight bronze cast to them. Otherwise , they are beautiful. If there is a thread already covering this subject please post a...

Aside from running dry and burning the print head is there anything else a re-filled third party cartridge can do to ruin the printer?

I just converted my Pixma 4820 to a B&W printer using Precision Color Inks. I get really good looking prints on HP Glossy paper. Those printed on Inkpress Rag are "flat" I'm wondering if this model printer just cant lay down the dyes properly on rag paper. I had an old Epson which I used...

This week is my first attempt at refilling . I'm doing the Canon # 226 CMY cartridges with Precision Colors Gray inkset . I drilled a 1/8 inch hole on top. Then I went to my bathroom sink where I turned on my Water Pik dental appliance at lowest setting and placed the nozzel in the re-fill...

In the Canon 5 cart printers, how does the ink get out of the cartridge and into the printer? Since it doesn't drip when installed I would assume its not "gravity fed".

I have been saving old ones . I plan to wash them out and fill them with gray and black to make my iP4820 a B&W printer. My first question is this: Since some of these have been empty for months, will the sponge be dried out:rolleyes: and unusable? If so could it be revived with a solvent...
