Canon chip resetter (CLI-8 / PGI-5)

[Defcon2k]

Hi everybody,

sorry if this is old news for you, but I did not check the printer forums for quite some time ( no reason to, since my IP5200 works just fine with his first set of carts for 1,5 years now).
Today I noticed that there finally are affordable chip resetters available for my printer soon. The reset procedure is said to take about 6 seconds, after which the chip and the ink level monitoring is okay again.

Next month, Sudhaus brings a chip resetter for the following carts:
CLI-8BK, 8C, 8M, 8Y, PGI-5BK (so, no light photo colors yet)

(edit: it seems that the company claims the restter can reset all PGI-5 and CLI carts, including photo colors and special colors; confirmation needed)

cost: 30 Euro (~45 Dollar)

The set also contains a starter refill kit (some ink, syringes and stuff).

(edit: There will also be a set without ink (20) and a set without ink but with an external power supply (40).)

Defcon2k's link translated into English: http://translate.google.com/transla...search?q=Sudhaus+chip+resetter&hl=en&suggon=0.

If this is available and real, $45 US sounds reasonable, though I'd rather pa $30 for the resetter alone without the ink.

Nice post Defcon2k!

First: I hate shops in EU that convert price without using currency exchange rate calculations.
Now 30$ becomes 39 Euros

http://www.patronenhandel.de/produc...Chip-Redsetter-f-r-Canon-CLI-8-und-PGI-5.html

Second it can't reset CLI-8 photocyan + CLI-8 photomagenta + CLI-8 red + CLI-8 green

So that is bad.

But it is good for others!

Using your nice link, the cost of the kit plus shipping would be ~$90 US for me.

Suddenly things are not as good for me either.

Hi, I went to look at that chip reseter, but I could not find any price on it at all, the only price I could find was the shipping cost of the chip reseter package, reseter and ink to be 38 Euro to any place outside of Europe.

It does look interesting, and I am sure that when they actually bring it out in the middle of May, that we will be able to see the price. Then decide if the price is worth it for home use.

If it is anywhere near the price you believe that it is, I will be first in line to try it.

The chip resetter has been a talk for months now (consumer chip resetters). The only ones available are over 300usd bucks at the moment. I wouldn't get my hopes up on a consumer resetter as of yet.

I read some articles about Canon CLI 8 series chip resetter. By now, it can only reset CLI-8 black ink cartridges. And most of the cartridges it can reset are black.

But things will get better and better, I believe!!!

wrong, the CLI/PGI resetter resets all but the photo cartridges. You must be reading about the old ones (proto type) the up to date resetters are fine.

At the moment, you can only get a resetter for about $300usd. I'm sure something will come out soon, and were not to far from the cli-8 comptible chip.

Forsurchi, you do sell refil ink and I presume you should be familiar what the developments are on this area ? The compatible CLI-8 chips are allready sold in Germany for more than a month ago now and this resetter is being sold in Germany for about 30/ $ 48..... Did you read the starting post ? I presume not.
