What you describe has probably happened to all of us at some time, (and still occasionaly does !), it always seems to occur after you have removed a cart and replaced it , (whether with a fresh one or the original) Because you used 2 seperate carts and had same abscence on both its my belief...

Was this cart fully expired (empty) or low?. Carts chips are written to and cannot be altered unless by a resetter device. " Empty" (machine says its empty), carts can be refilled , overridden and used , but this is noted in the machine`s memory and Ink Monitoring is withdrawn for that cart. If...

It`s long been my belief that the prism became redundant when Canon introduced the chip procedure for ink levels on the CLI8 carts. Several on Forums have stated that the prism (probably) becomes active in the event that there is a total loss of ink from the cart due to sudden total leakage...

The Ink Level Monitor can only be " turned off " (disabled) , when a particular cartridge has been deemed ( after the nozzle firings for that cart have been counted by the machine.) , to have run out of ink. You are then given a choice, (via a dialogue box), to either replace the cart with a...

This re-set sequence referred to is a reset of the machine`s logic/eeprom itself, ( e.g clearing a "waste tank full " type restriction). not a reset of the chipped cart. Chipped carts are given a new "full " identity by the RedSetter ,(indepedent of the machine ),and will then work in any...

there are several threads which answer your question, this is a good starting point:- http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=3013

One further point of interest:- One of the first carts I reset using the Redsetter was a YellowCLI8 ( originally reset and geographically identified ) obtained by exchange and purchase from Cartridge World several months ago , who had used their own (very) expensive commercial resetter. This...

NOTS3W . Your memory is correct, the first resetters were used by the commercial Ink refillers, they had to ensure that the carts for resetting were given in exchange for carts from another geographical area so a reset cart did not find its way back to its original machine and be identified as...

I too have some of these glossy waterproof discs, but as they are expensive I have only printed one as a trial. I have just carried out the same test procedure as you with very similar results. The only extra points I would make is that I accidentaly scratched the wet surface with a fingernail...

The cart you show in the picture is not quite empty.......... yet............(only the resevoir compartment)...there is a residue in the sponge which will last some time...a fact that may be allowed for by Canon optical sensor procedure before the warning is activated , I am not sure , I do know...

The Redsetter does reset the chips and does re-enable/or maintain Ink Level Monitoring in the Printer Status Monitor. How accurate the shown levels are according to use is at best just a rough guide. The levels do not stick, they eventually move. Providing the Printer with "proper" carts means...

The ink level sensor works on the frequency of the firings of each of the nozzles.....the prism only comes in to action if the cart loses all its ink through leakage , not electronically firing. What I suspect has happened in the case of the magenta is that it is not half full because of...

yes its a pity you are in Oz , (in the nicest possible way!) especially as 6 weeks ago I was on holiday there , (all over area)...........I could have brought a head out to you ! The fabrication of the tool is as easy as it looks.....................but meanwhile try Smiles head cleaning...

Yes you probabably do need a new printhead..................but as you have nothing to lose you may like to try and clear using the extreme methods of "vacuum pull back" to clear a suspected blockage discussed in other threads. http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=2798...

Thanks Pebe................always handy to have UK suppliers...........have bookmarked them both.............the prices for both companies are very keen

You can try here perhaps ,..................I have no knowledge of this company other than the link.........but it is on your side of the world http://canon-print-heads.precisionroller.com/Canon_PIXMA_iP8500_Print_Heads/il0219/7414/

I could be wrong here, but my understanding of the Sudhaus catalogue shows the Redsetter available by itself for 22.95 Euros , plus 32.00Euros shipping to USA total 54.95 Euros. = $85 US using my currency converter...... I considered going for the redsetter plus ink but as i was purchasing...

Cant wait to try...........however here in the UK bats are a protected species , can you please suggest a substitute or indicate where in the rest of the EU these may be obtained as it is well known that some of our neighbours will kill and eat anything...........

Yep ! I can believe that of anywhere especially the UK, (the best criminals were`nt caught and sent to Oz they got left behind here )...... Although each of our Long Distance Coach Drivers at each "comfort stop" recommended the best and cheapest Pie Shop......funny thing they seemed to be on...

You had dirt to play in !!!!...............lucky b(*9+!!!%^& `s !!!! . Here in the South every evening we would beaten with our dad`s strap till nearly dead then sent to bed without any supper..................... Talking of dirt and Oz........when I was there 6 weeks ago I notice they had...
