[pharmacist]

Faster than last time, but Jettec was able to crack the chip onf the latest small cartridgechips on the PGI-520 and CLI-521 cartridges used in the Canon IP3600, IP4600, MP630, MP980 and other printers.

Ha, a war is now showing one side wining in one big step ahead.

You might think so, but the war is actually won by Canon since the introduction of a chip. I still prefer chipless printers even with the existence of chip resetters. When the chip is faulty by static electricity you are still forced to get a new cartridge.....
