New method to reset Canon chipped cartridges?

[stratman]

Thanks for the info Manuchau.

I could find very little on IJC and TrueStar. The link http://www.rechargermag.com/conf/expo2007/exhibitor.aspx?company_id=607 discusses their ink and cartridges for CLI-8's, but the referral link, http://www.inkjetcompany.com/, does not have any information about CLI-8 cartridges or compatible inks. Looks like they need to update their website.

Manuchau: did you know there are CLI-8 compatible aftermarket carts based on the split system: a special lower part on which the chip is attached and a inktank that simply clicks on the chipholder ? Very similar to the RKS chip extender, albeit you are stuck to use those special split inkttanks. What are your experience with these split units ?

Maybe you could offer rebuilt printheads on which the chip contacts are removed and the chips directly hard soldered to the electrical contacts:

The article is written in german, but you can see in on the pictures what is meant. However: this method is irreversible !

Hi ! Just received my "remanufactured cartridges" from "Atlantic Inkjet"
for my ip4200 from Canon......Inexpensive compared to original...They work perfectly !! Nuff sed

I am unable to see how they can be inexpensive. You are paying many bucks for a tank of ink. If you refill yourself the cost for a same tank of ink will be less than $1.

Guy, and I suppose Gals,

I wonder if we are all aproaching the problem from the wrong direction? Let's try a little lateral thinking As I understand it; the printer driver software looks for the chip and if it can't find a signal it then blocks all operation of the printer. Could we, perhaps, rewrite the driver or fool it into thinking that it sees the chip? This would not overcome the problem of seeing the ink levels, but I have that problem now when I refill canon cartridges and press the override

Anyone know where we should start? Or if it is possible?

I'm using a program from a gentleman in Australia called InkMon ( www.inkmon.org ) that, after some fiddling, is tracking the refilled cartridges in my MP600 fairly accurately. Might be worth looking into.

Bill
thanks for the tip about Inkmon.org. I have downloaded the inkmon5 program and installed it for my new pixma600. I'm not to sure if I have set it up correctly though. As each cartridge gets low; I intend drilling and refilling
I also run pixma 4200, which I purchased a continuous ink supply system for, but got myself into a bit of a muddle trying to install it. I must have dammaged the cyan chip whilst swapping it over

I've recently put inkmon5 on an MP600 and it seems to be working OK.

But it's early days yet and I don't know how it's affected by the 'Copy' function, which doesn't need the intervention of the PC.

Any ideas?
