Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 Came with Chipless OEM carts :Question for an expert

[hdtvjeff]

Hi,

I own several Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 printers

The latest one I purchased on Ebay is brand new, never used. The only problem is the Canon OEM carts which are full are missing their OEM chips, all of them.
No big deal since i got the printer at a sick low price

My question is specifically this . If I buy 3rd party set of single use chips and attach them to the OEM cartridges will this brand new printer initialize or fail to do so?
I know these chips work on this model once it's been initialized with OEM CHIPS and ink levels get very low or are marked empty.

So the question is whether 3rd party single use chips will initialize this beast. If so would ARC chips do the job too?

If no to everything is my only option buying a 12 pack of Canon Lucia ink for $650?

I have two full sets of empties that have the OEM chips on them but I doubt filling them with OEM inks would work since I probably would not have the option one by one to set disable ink monitoring

Any help appreciated

Any help appreciated

When I initialized my new Canon Maxify printer I didn’t want to use the original OEM carts on it, so I put in a set of new third party carts with ARC chip on board and the printer was none the wiser, So I imagine you can do the same with the Pro 1000..
