Hi guys,
my cartridges ran out and I put them on digital scale. Printer was showing warning message but it looks like there still was some ink in them.
CLI-526 C = 12g (printer showing 1/4 bars and warning)
CLI-526 M = 12g (printer showing 1/4 bars and warning)
CLI-526 Y = 13g (printer showing...
I call BS on this, what is the point of this, and this can't be done! Only IF all of your internet trafic would go through your printer and then out on the internet this could be possible. I use Linux and on Linux Canon drivers are nothing more than xml file that is a profile for CUPS on Linux...

I got few suggestions on this forum to keep away from CISS systems, so I'll probably refill OEM carts. I'll definitely use latex or simpler pvc gloves, refilling will be done in bathroom, far, far away from any furniture and carpets.
Thanks for all your suggestions.
I'm new to this forum and generally to refilling cartridges because my last Canon printer had no chipped cartridge so I just bought new replacement one when they ran out.
I goggled and researched online to get info how to get around and not to buy expensive OEM cartridges. Only after further...
I would like to have a little better solution, that is why I would like to buy these cartridges:

If I remove chips from my original empty cartridges and put them to these new transparent and easy refill...
I would also like to know from your experience who makes cheapest but still ok ink for Canon printers (mine is Canon MG6150) and also who has premium quality ink no matter what is the price. I don't care if suppliers are I would prefer EU or Chinese suppliers because shipping from USA to EU is...
I'm looking for best way to have Canon MG6150 running smoothly and cheaply for years to come.
From what I read so far it is best to buy new easy refillable cartridges and some ink. After my original cartridges run out I should transfer chip to new cartridges, disable ink monitor and then refill...
I would really appreciate comment from more experienced Canon users that refill their own cartridges. So what is the best way to refill these new cartridges? Am I on the right track?

If my info is correct 525 cartridge has 20ml and 526 cartridges have 10ml of ink, let's say 1ml stays in sponge.
So empty cartridge should weigh:
PGI-525 - 34g - 19g = 15g (empty)
CLI-526 - 18g - 9g = 9g (empty)
I just bought new Canon MG6150 with PGI-525 and CLI-526 catridges. And here are their weights:
PGI-525 - 34g
CLI-526 - 18g
But I guess that most weight goes into plastic so I'm not sure how precise you could be in filling them but hope this info helps somebody.
