bought a 225 by mistake.. looks same (size etc etc) but my mp620 doesn't recognize it.
Wonder if one of you wise souls would fill me in on options as I've already opened the cartridge
can I force the machine to override the error and use the ink?
or transfer ink from 225 to empty 220 cartridge using a syringe?
or...? :/

You could transfer the ink from 225 --> 220 or transfer the chip from 220 --> 225.

Is the 225 cartridge completely opaque - no see-through window showing ink level or sponge? What about your 220 cartridge?

Thanks for your reply!
The now empty 220 is see-through. The 225 is opaque... but they are same size -
Is it easier to transfer chip or to use a needle/syringe method? I've never refilled cartridge before - but I am smart/good with detailed procedures/technology.
:p
