Could be your waste ink tank overflowing.

MP640 asked, "Which one is to be prefered?" and i answered. and @rodbam Nebraska? haha

To clear things up, i refill cartridges my own way. Before yesterday i had no idea what the German method was so i had to look it up to realize it was pretty much the way i already fill them. Seeing as how i work at a refill store where customers pay for my service, i drill the hole close to the...

@joseph99929 Thanks for the tip! I'll have to get some of those in.

@ThrillaMozzila. there must be a difference between these cartridges from country to country. Unless you are talking about the freakishly large hp564 XL black cartridges that i've seen before. Not sure what the deal is with those.

@Ian I've noticed this as well, one other thing you have to look out for is te amount of ink to put into them, the standard capacity hp 61's barely hold 1ml per colour without leaking. They can physically hold about 3 or 4ml until coming back out of the top, but be cautious. 1.5ml per colour...

@The Hat. I haven't seen one of these cartridges before but your refill method looks very similar to the way i fill the old epson cartridges (t0491's etc.) Have you tried using a small piece of flat rubber and puncturing a hole through it with a syringe? then you just need to shorten the...

Sorry, i'm new to this forum, but not new to refilling. I was addressing you Thrilla. I fill these cartridges every day and i just explain to the customers that they will always say they are empty. But they seem to understand and just bring them back when the print quality deteriorates. I...

you can drill the hole anywhere on the ink reservoir side, but the closer you drill to the divider, the more ink you can fit into it.

These cartridges are legit! Cheap to buy new, cheap to refill and they hold more ink than their 510/511/512/513 predecessors! Congratulations Canon, you have gone from making the best value for money printers and cartridges in the world to making even better value for money products.

just a word of advice, they leak and the chips arent reliable

I fill these every day. (HP 564's) Standard capacity: Black: Empty 21g, Full 30g. Colours: Empty 17g, Full 22g with the XL versions you can just look through the window in the reservoir side to check the levels, when there is no ink in that side just use the weights i provided for the standard...

I've filled one of these cartridges and it came back, i pulled it apart and found a chip under the sticker (after cutting it open and checking inside the cartridge first..) Anyone have any ideas? Also i'm from Australia so it is legal for company's to make non refillable cartridges.

i'm not sure what kind of equipment you have, but this works very well. Fill cartridge. Soak the nozzles in boiling water inside an ultrasonic cleaner (jewellery cleaner). spin out all of the ink using a centrifuge, if you don't have a centrifuge, hold a wadded up tissue on the nozzles and make...

All i know is that i filled one and the customer came back saying that it would not print. Upon further analysis of the cartridge, i found a chip underneath the sticker (sneaky Dell).
