Ink level is completely disabled :( on that specific cartridges . . Chip Resetters will be available in January 2010 there is a post by pharmacist on this forum about it
Even if you use ARChips the prism sensor won't work cos ink level is always FULL even if cart is empty

No you cannot put 220/221 on a 520/521 printer
Infact on ebay you will find ARChips for the 220/221 and ARChips for the 520/521
I have tested 220/221 on my 520/521 and they don't work. . .
Technically there is a way to use them (which i will not describe in this post) but you you disable CD...

Canon heads and ciss don't go much too good together but if you print a lot then a ciss is a way to go.
I own an mp980 which...
I know this is an old thread but I like old wine

Have you ever tested how many page yields one can obtain from these carts ? If i'm not mistaken they are 19ml and 9ml and the printers they are used on cleans heads much more frequently then...
