Redsetter has had an initial determination of the possibility of a resetter for the Pro-1000 ( One thousand) OEM chips and they have decided to defer plans to pursue it. Apparently Canon is now using a new protocol and/or encryption to communicate with the chip and that makes it expensive and time consuming to engineer a resetter assuming it is physically possible.

The situation might change but anyone purchasing a Pro-1000 ( One thousand) today ( June 2016) expecting a resetter to appear soon is taking a gamble.

One time chips is a possibility but not necessarily an eventuality.

Again, if you purchase a Pro-1000 ( One thousand), you should be prepared to pay for OEM ink at this time.

As for the Pro-1. Redsetter's position is the same as the Pro-1000. There are one time chips available for this and I will have an inkset for the Pro-1 available to use in refilling. The chips will cost as much if not more in refilling than the ink. So anyone comparing the running cost of using a Pro-1 versus a Pro-10 needs to understand that the relative cost of running these two printers is dramatically different with the Pro-10 being a fraction of what it would cost for a Pro-1 for the same print.
