I am wondering if anyone out there is successfully refilling their Canon ip4200 cartridges. I have this model and it is a very nice working printer. The major drawback being the anti refill chip on the cartridge. I am aware that the chip counts the amount of ink being used and if you refill the cartridge it thinks that is empty and gives you various notices/threats regarding refilling. I have also read that you can just click through these and keep printing.
Well then what happens when a cartridge actually does run out of ink and you haven't been physically looking at the carts to be aware of this. Would the printer keep going and thereby damage the printhead or would there still be some type of screen warning relative out of ink?
Also, various ink suppliers are stating on their sites that compatible ink carts are coming soon for the ip4200. Does this mean that they have duplicated Canons chip and if so will their carts also present the same issues as the OEM carts?
I checked the Hobbicolors site on E Bay last night and noticed that they are selling the new inks for the ip4200 but it mentions that refilling may void your warranty which conflicts with information available elsewhere.
Who would have thought that simply putting new ink in a plastic box could be so interesting!
