Ink cartridge chip for canon pixma pro-100

[The Hat]

The Chinese manufactures are catching on very quickly, why should the sell you only the chips for pennies
when they can sell you both cartridges and chips together for more $.

There's little money in it for them to sell just the chips alone because when a resetter becomes available they will no longer have a market for these chips that wont reset.

I did get one supplier who wanted to sell me 10,000 SETS of Pro 1 chips but I declined his generous offer because I would never have been able to find a market for the rest of my huge surplus..

One can always dream!

But a resetter for the 9000mKII and now ( through Websnail ) we also have a 9500 MKII working resetter. As well as autoreset chips which are readily available. So by the same analogy they should have held on and not provided us with
CLI-8 and PGI-9 resetting options. But they did.

I have to believe that we will eventually offered these same options for the new PRO-100 /10 / 1 sometime down the road.

So it will the disable the ink monitoring until it comes.

Some low cost stored value smartcards...yeah, same 4 contacts. Power and ground and two for data transmission...use fusible links that are burnt off as the value is decremented. This was one strategy over ten years ago. These were low cost cards. No matter what, you could identify them, you communicate with it but you could never bring the value back up because the links were burnt off as the values were subtracted. Same strategy could be used for chips on cartridges.... back then folks the cost of silicon wafers were much higher because fabrication densities were much lower. I could see why they did not put these on ink chips back then but with the cost of cartridges having gone up or remained the same, the cost of similar chips drastically gone down, the tipping point is way past doable. It must be implemented to preserve revenue to the OEM. Add to that the aspect of potential processing power of the printer has gone way up to the point where it probably manages the wifi chipset so it can also implement some extra security key routines as well and you gotta realize it was only a matter of time.

If not this time, next time around.

I'll hope but I won't hold my breath.

The OEMs will make sure that refilling comes with some detractors and ink level monitoring will be one. My guess is that Canon is one step of Epson in this area. Their experience and expertise in processing power in their cameras makes this chip thing on printers a cakewalk actually.

Ok so let's then assume that we will not be seeing anything in regards to a resetter, soon or ever! I tend to be more optimistic!
Though maybe not as realistic.

Question: Would you say that after going through say, two full sets of carts, and then disabling the ink monitor after each of the second set of carts have been declared as empty, will one then be able to simply continue to use the same two sets of carts with the now disabled ink monitoring system without any operational problems? My practice has always been to replace a full set of colors when one color becomes close to empty on my 9000 and 9500MKIIs.

I supposed we can learn to live with that. Once we figure out the average ink consumption rates so we can check carts visually at a scheduled time.

Have you checked to see if the ink prism actually works even with the ink monitor disabled?
I would think not.

When the ARC chips for the PG-9s first appeared on the market they were $125 for a set of 8
which didnt include the grey and photo black chips, they were not very popular because of the large price.

That was one of the reasons why a resetter was developed for the PG-9s,
the Chinese got burned for over producing the PG-9 chips so they are now that bit more cautious with the latest models.

Canons new CLI-250/251 chips are a prime example of what the future holds for all refillers,
I reckon they will never be reset so theres no point in anyone trying to develop a resetter for them.

The newer OEM chips are also getting cheaper, smarter and smaller, on the Pro 1 carts for instance
a replacement one time chip doesnt fit properly without having to hack out a bigger hole to have them sit properly (Fit);
at least there is enough room to do that on these large carts.

Another thing to watch out for is this new fancy Wi-Fi gimmick that everybody seems to love on their new printer,
without you knowledge it can at any time connect to the relevant website
through your Wi-Fi router and upload whatever the hell it likes, so beware you guys..

I paid liek $50 for 5 sets of all 9 / 9500MKII chips. Using them right now.

Yes, WiFi is not a feature that I would ever need. Are yousaying that If and when I istall my PRO-100 I will have to install with WiFi enabled?

Yes, The Hat had to perform surgery on his OEM carts to be able to use the ones form the compatibles.

It's looking like there's not light at the end of the tunnel.

I reckon you bought them at the right time, probably when the market started to get flooded with them, good luck to you because your timing was obviously spot on.

Wi-Fi is only turned on by you if you wish it so;
I was referring to the guys who bought the printer simply because it was Wi-Fi enabled.

Yes, The Hat had to perform surgery on his OEM carts to be able to use the ones form the compatibles.

Yes I did do surgery because I wanted to continue to use the OEM carts instead of the compatible ones.

O there is a light at the end of the tunnel Joe.

Didnt you know that Jesus was a train driver when he was younger, try this for proof.

If youre walking through a tunnel and you happened to see a light coming the other way, whats the first thing you say..

Jesus here's a darn train coming..

Oh yee of such little faith...


Do I not deliver unto you the goods which thou' dost desire, require or otherwise throw yourselves down in anguish beating the floor crying, "Why does this manufacturer torture us so?!!"

Give the guys a chance will ya!

Come on Martin! YOU CAN DO IT!!!!
Light a fire under them!
