    New weapon of Canon: new carts to replace CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520

    Hi guys, my cartridges ran out and I put them on digital scale. Printer was showing warning message but it looks like there still was some ink in them. CLI-526 C = 12g (printer showing 1/4 bars and warning) CLI-526 M = 12g (printer showing 1/4 bars and warning) CLI-526 Y = 13g (printer showing...

    PGI-525 and CLI-526

    If it's ActiveX control they you should be safe with Firefox or Chrome browser, or even better running Linux instead of Windows. Right?

    PGI-525 and CLI-526

    I call BS on this, what is the point of this, and this can't be done! Only IF all of your internet trafic would go through your printer and then out on the internet this could be possible. I use Linux and on Linux Canon drivers are nothing more than xml file that is a profile for CUPS on Linux...

    PGI-525 and CLI-526

    @irvweiner I got few suggestions on this forum to keep away from CISS systems, so I'll probably refill OEM carts. I'll definitely use latex or simpler pvc gloves, refilling will be done in bathroom, far, far away from any furniture and carpets. Thanks for all your suggestions.

    PGI-525 and CLI-526

    I'm looking for best way to have Canon MG6150 running smoothly and cheaply for years to come. From what I read so far it is best to buy new easy refillable cartridges and some ink.

    I would really appreciate comment from more experienced Canon users that refill their own cartridges. So what is the best way to refill these new cartridges? Am I on the right track?

    New weapon of Canon: new carts to replace CLI-221/521 and PGI-220/520

    If my info is correct 525 cartridge has 20ml and 526 cartridges have 10ml of ink, let's say 1ml stays in sponge. So empty cartridge should weigh: PGI-525 - 34g - 19g = 15g (empty) CLI-526 - 18g - 9g = 9g (empty)

    I just bought new Canon MG6150 with PGI-525 and CLI-526 catridges. And here are their weights: PGI-525 - 34g CLI-526 - 18g But I guess that most weight goes into plastic so I'm not sure how precise you could be in filling them but hope this info helps somebody.
