Therefore the sponge is the exact same size, and thus they both can hold the exact same amount of ink on a refill.

    I started refilling with a HP 500, and in the first 5 years of refilling, I saved just a little over $50,000, which I would have spent if I had been buying those HP carts. This has continued over the years, and I lost count of how many refills that I did. But wore out 3 HP500 and 4 HP560...

    Canon Chip Resetter Reports

    Hi, I have several Canon IP4200 printers in use right now using the CLI-8. So I can only guess, but I would say that if you loose the chip on a cartage for any reason, shorted, burned out, that this is what they are calling "deactivated" Otherwise I have no idea how one would go about to...

    Canon Chip Resetter Reports

    I think that I see what you are getting at. So let me say this, In My opinion, If you reset the chip when the cartage is empty, and then do not refill the cartage, but instead put that same empty reset cartage back into the printer without the adding of ink, and then continue to print until...
