Refilling the Canon Pro-1000 is now completed.
It involves some simple steps.
Replacing the chip. You can run the printer with the chip disabled but I'm not sure you want to take chances with running empty with a $700-$800 printhead. Do you? In any case, there are two choices for chips..one time use or arc types. Take your pick. https://youtu.be/vzUPvqQ_gnI
Refiiling the ink tanks. At first it may look hard but it turns out to be as easy as the Pro-9500 or Pro-10. I developed this method and the potential issues have been worked out to eliminate errors. The ink is predispensed into a specific volume to eliminate weighing. The procedure removes the potential of ink leaks due to the negative relative pressure during fill. https://youtu.be/JBFb0GRS32o
Finally a discussion on why refilling this top end machine is special and requires color matching to the utmost possible. Two parts until I redo this part.
