Hi. I'd be interested in some more technical data on this reseter. Unfortunately at this time the UK web site is down. The usb connection (infered in instructions) seems to be only for/as a power supply. Also i'm guessing that the computer will most likely need to be off during the reset...

Hi. There's another posting somewhere on this forum with a similar adaptor. There have been several "variations on a theme" of this means of refilling. As will all refilling, this technique is dependent on the condition of the sponges in the cartridges themselves. Though it may work for a...

Hi. Not entirely certain to which sub forum this should fit under, however... Have you ever wondered about what it actually costs Canon or Epson, e.t.c for a single ink cartridge? After reading canonfodder's posting on the resetter it got me thinking as to the markup ink/inkjet hardware...

Hello. Yes indeed the canon ink monitor seems to only display amount in small chunks to start (about 1/8),then jumps by 1/4-3/8 increments. Yes CF i did take full res screen captures and the levels never drop in slight increments. It sould be noted that even the epson ink monitor does...

Hello CF. Sorry for the confusion. Being on at the same time and writting the same posting at the same time without refreshing tends to confuse the train of thought. As for results of inserting into a powered printer or an unpowered one i will have to try that. As for which pins contact first...

Hello. I had a simular event. However with spent chip contact swapping (in series). I'l get back to you on that when i've done more tests. One question though. What kind of water did you rince with? Distled, artisian (hard water), city (chloronated/flourenized) water, saline water? As for...

eeesh My MP830.. usb02

I beleive i've found out why the inkmonitor software is not 100% acurate. I've installed it on win 98 and so far (after about 20 prints) the ink level is about 90-92% accurate. I can live with a 8-10% saftey margin so long as the cartridge ink level is the higher one. Used an ip4200. Your...

Hello. Would any one care to sugest where in North America a person could purchase Skyhorse inkjet cartridges (any kind of skyhorse product)? Now i've tried to order several times from "alotofthings" which never worked out as the "add to cart" buttons on canon items at ALOTOFTHINGS never...

Hello. First of all there is a technical reason for your toner not fusing to the resum/parchement paper. I've worked with identicle envelopes and paper. The problem arises from paper thickness and the amount of time the laser pritner's fuser has to "cook" the ink into the paper. I've tried...

Hello. I would go with the (older) unchipped cartridge canons. To be honest if you can afford photoshop or even Paint shop Pro and understand resolution and density then i can tell you that ex: i get just as good an output form my Ip3000 than i get from my MP830 (at max quality). Even...

Thanks for the input. I looked at the mp150 and 530, and i agree that the earlier 500 and 750 were better at scanning (time wise). The integrated fax is what makes the 830 MFP's so much more expensive. I've purchased several older Stylus colour epson printers as they were and still are the...

Hello. Recently an aquaitence of mine bought a Canon MP830. I had told them to get the 780 instead. Anything to avoid the chipped cartridges. However the 780 was no where to be found. I have a ip4200 so i know what a pain the PGI/CLI cartridges can be. Unfortunately epson does not have a MF...

Interesting. I went to several local dollarama and dollar stores, didn't find any but walmart sells these little black (30ml) accordion style refill kits, lot's of sundries like stainless steel bearing, plugs for epson exit ports, plugs for hp, canon and epson, some strange spring wire hook (no...

Hi. Speaking from experience with Epson printers: The waste pad is in its own plastic basin away from the circuitry. I drilled a hole into the basin (let it drain) > Just be sure to be ready with a collecting bin to save you from the mess. I attached a hose to the basin and put a hole in the...

Hi Snoopy. In the begining Epson printers were much more expensive than the cartridges . I remember the old Stylus Colour IIs series. An OEM epson cartridge came out to about 9-15$ CDN, the soon after modeles with seperate black and colour (3 colour cartridge) cartridge stayed at much the same...

Agreed. I don't paticularly care to dry out the cartridge and have the nozzles block. 10-15% left is acceptable. HP cartridges are notorious for drying out in no time flat. My concern especialy with foam epson cartridges is the residual ink that is left , considering that it's been exposed to...

Hello. "Extortion Chip" eh. Well you made my day.

Hi. I've been using the microwave trick for years best trick so far, though there are a few cartridges that do not like it. Also to any one wishing to try the MW trick. Remember to remove the chips or any other metalic items first. Yes i've seen several fools that tried to MW trick with HP &...

That Armor.fr solution is very attractive. Especialy for our MP830 and IP4200's (same cartridges). Unfortunately even if it lists as available in December 2K6, Which market are they speaking of? European only? If any one could explain this unit a little in the chip dept. q1: Do the Chips...
