Yah... I don't wait a full two minutes either. I refill via German method so when refilling the cartridges are upside down and I give them a quick rotation...more like 10 seconds and the ink seeps in pretty quickly and I just compensate for the ink that seeped in and I remove the needle...
Ok so here are the things I did...I printed a page with texts, and it came out with white streaks.I did a nozzle check and the result above is what I got, (missing segments.) I ran a cleaning cycle and after that another nozzle check and this time the nozzle check came out fine. I printed a...
How long do you leave the cartridges to rest? The guides in this forum says leave the ink cartridge with the ink outlet facing down for a minute or two. Look at the 8th-10th picture in this guide: http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=4315. If the ink won't seep in that means the...

In Post #9 I was referring to white streaks on text that's if I don't print anything for a day or two. Unfortunately I can't give you a scan of a print with text which shows the problem because I can't recreate the problem, I have to wait a couple of days :( If I have the white...
So its the cartridge? I have an extra cartridge but the chip is damaged so I will try to switch the chip so I can see if its the cartridge. I did mention I'm having problems with a PGI-220 right?;) The symptoms I was having were similar to the other people in this thread so I thought I would...
I tried printing a solid black page and then copying it 6 times as you have said but I can't see any white streaks, all I see is uneven black streaks.
Here is a scan of the 6th page. Don't mind the ripple as I printed on regular paper and I didn't let it dry when I copied it.:D
I had this problem on my Mx860 as well, the ink monitor did not move a bit despite it having half of the ink in the reservoir. I never disabled the ink monitor because I had a chip resetter. My guess would be that you did not let the ink seep in to the sponge when you refilled, this is what I...
That's the odd thing...If I go through a clean cycle before I print my prints comes out ok. (It seems to clog if I don't use it for a day or two so I am forced to do a clean cycle everyday) This leads me to think it has something to do with the ink I'm using(hobbicolors ink) rather than a flow...
I'm using hobbicolors black pigment ink on my PGI-220 and if I dont print anything for a day or two I get a clog (streaks on text). Going through the clean cycle fixes it though, so is this an ink specific problem because I don't remember having this problem when my cart still had OEM ink.(I...
Hi you guys! I have successfully refilled all my dye based ink and successfully resetted all of them using the resetter from mapsy:D I used hobbicolors UW-8 and I tried printing several pictures and graphics and all of them had a green tint to it. I am using Staples Premium Photo Paper but the...
Update...
I received a replacement for my CLI-221 Resetter from Fillserv but the replacement still did not reset the cartridge which I initially tried on the first one . I ordered another CLI-221 resetter from inkjetreset.com and i tried to reset the cartridge I was initially trying to reset...

I get LED activity. Here is a video I posted previously and the flashing LED has not stayed fully lit even after numerous attempt. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nLfDEz52BDc
Just keep trying maybe you will get lucky but I lost hope and just ordered from inkjetreset.com. I'm still...
The rep I was talking to brought up a good point: It could be the ink cartridge that is faulty. Well, its an OEM ink cartridge that has never been refilled or reset before. So my questions is has anybody tried resetting a cartridge and it later ends up not being recognized by the printer...is it...
Here is a video of my chip resetter in action but ofcourse mine doesn't work...:lol: Im currently in the process of trying to talk to fillserv's CS but oh boy do they run lean( that's how they describe themselves in reponse to me complaint email.) I will probably end up buying a different one...

I like visuals its to the point! Very Helpful =)
Anyway to update you guys after trying to reset and literally re set the cartridge still no luck. Also at first I was getting U140 Cartridge not recognized and now I'm getting U150 Cartridge not recognize. I ended up buying another...
Update...
After more than two weeks of waiting my orde from fillserv.com arrived, just in time because my pigment black had an exclamation mark(near empty). I went ahead and refilled it anyway and tried to reset it using the blue chip resetter from Fillserv but sadly it did NOT work...=( On the...
Searching through the forum, I can't find anything about Hammermill paper. I'm currently using Hammermill Tidal MP 20 lb 8 1/2 x 11 Inch Paper, 92 Brightness. I just wanted to know what you guys think, personally if it works its ok. It is afterall just plain printing text and barely any graphic...
Ok so I spoke too soon. I emailed Fillserv again after posting the previous reply yesterday and today I received a reply to two of my email and guess what I received the same back order story!!! Too many people are ordering this thing:D According to the email their order was set to ship this...

I actually did not order from inkfilling.com I just inquired and I received the back order story. Anyway after hearing this I decided that I would order from a different source and luckily I found a different retailer here...
I received an email from them after asking about the resetter and they said it was back ordered so it can take a week or two to ship. I hate the suspense! :mad:
