Just noticed that Inkjetcarts is offering an ink set for the PRO-1

[jtoolman]

Well actually it is a mixture of some of the other "Compatible" ink colors originally for the 9500MKII and the grays from the IPF series.

No method to reset any of the chips so it looks like Ross is dissabling the ink monitoring.

ARCs would solve that little problem.

It would be very interesting just to see how Ross goes about refilling these cartridges in his latest video.
Joe would you have the link to it..

The funny thing is that he doesn't go into filling them at all. Simply that they have "cobbled" together a set that is obviously from the PRO9500MKII as you have and one of the PGI that uses the other colors. If you take a look at the photo of the bottles you can see that. The video he speaks of, I cannot find at all. Sooooooo!

Actually, the ink set should work well and there really isn't anything else out there just yet. That plus the lack of a chip reset option still puts this baby out of grasp for me.
Come on ARCs!!!!

I totally agree with you, without the use ARCs it tends to make it royal pain in the ass to maintain these cartridges.

I swapped a new chip onto a half empty cartridge the other day and then the chip went straight to the big red X
once I gotten very low on ink, there was no low ink warning notice whatsoever.

The Chinese inks are as near to the originals as were going to get and frigging around with different formula of inks
that wont match cant be good for photo enthusiast either.

Bring on the ARCs then well be cooking with gas..
