Hi Friend,
The Auth service centre guys would talk in a lingo that is beneficial for them.
Let us take this scenario
We refill the carts, disable the ink warning print All OK.
In case of any generic problem we take out the refilled cart, stick in an original oem cart take it for service...
Like they say life has to go on.
Yesterday's printers no matter how good they were have had their run and the sooner we get to know the intricacies and the workarounds of the newer crop of printers the better for all of us.
Lets us start by dissecting the above mentioned printers cartridges...
Hi QD!
Feels awkward making a suggestion to a person as experienced as you.
Your yellow looks OK The Blue seems to have streaks and the Black text looks jagged.
I would attribute it to an air lock in the cart. Even the best ink will give poor results if the quality of empty is not upto the...
Hi Don,
Let's keep it simple.
1.HP printer 4480 is similar to 4488 that we have here in India.
2.The cartridges are refillable and use the same ink as widely used in HP 21 & 22 carts.
3. You will be able to work with the printer after refilling.
4. Printer will not recognise the ink levels of...
Hi All,
It would be nice if we all get together on this thread and document various stages in a laser toner refill. A faq on numerous problems on account of specific component wear out/failure would be of great help.

Hi!
Look again at the warranty clause. Warranty is not effected by disabling ink warning for sure.
The prob is you'd have to manually keep track of ink levels.
I just googled canon auto reset chip and there are a huge plethora of options, discount the chinese offers and you should be locate...
Hello from India,
The printer that you mention uses the canon 820/21 cart that have been around for quite some time and find usage in Canon IP3600/ IP4600/ MP540/ 620/ 630/ 980 Canon IP3600/ IP4600/ MP620/ Canon IP3600/ IP4600/ ...
So like our friend pharmacist says, the best cart is the canon...
Hello everybody!
Ever since I joined this great forum it looked that I had canon experts all over and they had literally thrown out poor HP (the world's largest printer mfr) out of the window. I did rant over a few problems with HP on the forum but received very few responses. So guess what I...
Hi from India,
Just stumbled on to this thread, hope I 'm in time to help our friend.
HP 60 is the std cart and HP 60XL Color (CC644WN),is the so called extra large cart that's supposed to print about 600 pages (at 5% coverage) HP sure has a task at hand cos the normal pages that we all...
Wanted to upload a pdf file (approx 2.5mb) to answer a thread in the Laser segment,however it seems pdf files cannot be uploaded. Than tried emailing you but I somehow seem to be missing the attachment procedure? I had recently got a mail re loggin problem so have uploaded the same there. Hope...
The answer by embguy is well documented and comprehensive except for the tap water part, I am rather sceptical on using tap water as part of the cleaning process, more so ,if we live in an area which has hard water. Distilled water is easy to come by, and is cheap especially when we take the...
Hi from India,
Have been using HP lasers for about 17 years now and the following observations apply:
Sealed original OEM Toner cartridges can be safely used even after 3 years without any ill effect.
As the toner powder as the name implies is dry in form, Moisture is the no 1 enemy, moisture...
Thanks Guys! good to see that even with technology we still have not lost the lighter side of life.
And by the way the cartoon strip got cut on the right side and could not be read??????

We have seen both HP and Canon increase their consummable prices by about 10-18% here in India, BUT have also seen an introduction of cheaper variants of ink carts by HP for Example to supplement the 21 black they have introduced the 21B at nearly 60% cost reduction. Same case for 27 black we...
Am a die hard Laser fan and strongly believe that inkjets (black only) no matter how good can never rival a laser for longevity and ease of refill. But the world of color adds another dimension hence The three printer formula has personally worked for me.
1 Laser to do the bulk black printing (...
