My understanding is that the only chipped Canon carts that can be reset are the PGI5 and CLI8 series cartridges. Chip resetters are available for them. There is nothing in the printer firmware/software to reset cartridges.
Sorry I can't help you but I buy my Canon ink from www.inksupply.com . They specialize in Epson solutions and you might find something there that will help you. They will also respond to email questions.
I just got a set of carts for my MP600 from Swift Ink. They are Pro Color compatible carts with reset Canon chips. They are having a buy one get one free offer the rest of this month. Use code FREEOFFER .
MIS Supply is having a sale on all their resetters, including the Canon unit, for 30% off. The unit cost me $26.76 shipped. Their url is www.inksupply.com and the product number is SK155. It is the blue unit with replacable batteries.
Perhaps I,m missing something here, but what does CompuBiz Inkjet have to do with Inkjetsaver.com? If I read this correctly it's two different companies selling similar, but not identica,l cartridge clips and Ron350 is lumping the two together.
I had a similar thing with a PSC 2110 I used to have. I found selecting grayscale printing in printer properties except when I had to do color cut way back on color ink useage.
The CLI8 cartridges are dye based and the PGI5BK uses pigment ink. I have an MP600 and have refilled my cartridges at least 10 times. I've not had any problems with my print head. It prints perfect test patterns.
I have been using ink from A Lot of Things and been very pleased with it. Prior to that I used MIS ink from inksupply.com and was always very happy with it. Their ink is a bit more expensive($7.50/2oz $10/4oz). I just reordered from them. I'm using PGI-5 and CLI-8 ink so we'll see how it...
I have been buying my ink from A Lot of Things and had excellent results. Apparently their supplier, Sensient(Formulabs ink), has been sold to a Chinese company and they no longer have ink for Canon printers. I've used MIS inks in the past but they are a bit more expensive than what I've been...
At that weight you'll surely have to make sure the stock is cross grained. It will have much less resistance to bending to follow the paper feed path. Doubt it would feed from the cassette. My MP600 handles heavy stock quite well.
There is already a hole into the ink chamber. You can find it by carefully threading the needle through the sponge. I ground a point on my needles to aid getting through the sponge. The opening into the ink chamber is not large so it takes a little experience to hit it first time.
HP came out with grey ink cartridges in some of the printers that used 56-57-58 carts several years ago for black/white photo printing. There was a noticable difference in photo quality as compared with using black + color carts. I believe the grey cart had more than one shade in it. I...
I was using InkMon but decided to give it up. I have an all in one MP600 and there is no way to monitor usage when using the printer as a copier. A couple of useful site are the InkMon home page, www.inkmon.org and there is a yahoo site, http://tech.groups.yahoo.com/group/inkmon/ with some...
My understanding is that the blue unit is an update of the red unit. It has easily replacable batteries, different pc board due to an overheating problem with the red units, and from what I've read, it uses 3 batteries. I got the 3 battery info from an Australian website. The US distributor...
I'm curious as to why the resetter can be bought in Great Britain for 10Pounds($16.11 US) but cost $55+ from US distributor. I'd be interested in one but the markup seems awfully high to me. The lack of competition may be a factor. I can get one of the new blue ones from Australia including...
HP had some printers a few years ago(maybe they still do) that used a grey cartridge for black & white photo printing. If I remember correctly it was similar to the 58 photo cart only had black and grey instead of photo color ink. Never saw the output from one but was supposed to improve B & W...
I have long blunt needles and found that grinding them to a sharp point made it much easier to get through the sponge without deforming it. I think you'll like the German method. I've found it a lot less messy than other methods.
I see numerous post by people having trouble with clogged heads, perhaps due to under use. MIS Supply has a free program call MIS Autoprint which will allow you to print a page at scheduled times from once daily to, I believe, once a week. I set it to print every 3 days at 9PM. I use a photo...
