Thank you to all the participants in these forums. Although mainly a "Lurker" I have benefited greatly from the invaluable advice and help written in these forums, and am now successfully refilling my CLI-8 Carts.
My Question: What triggers the ink level indication in the Canon PRO 9000 Mk 11?
Does the chip count ink squirts/volume or is there some other method that actually evaluates the ink level in the cartridge.
I have a "German Method" cyan cart that is now more than half empty, but the on-screen indicators still show it as full.
Guess I won't know if the problem lies with the cartridge, or my refill technique, or the printer until I change carts, which will be in next day or so.
For the record I activated my Pro9000 Mk 11 on Jan 13 this year. After burning through the original 8 carts I have used 9 refills. In Canada Staples charges C$22 incl tax per cart which would have been a total of C$198. This is more or less what I paid for supplies which should last me the rest of the year. Not being independently wealthy this is the only way I could indulge my printing habit.
Thanks again to all the participants in this forum. I don't post much but read all the new posts.
