The Alpharetta, Georgia address is the personal address of Michael C. Carlotta. The residential phone number there is (770) 888-5487. That is of course different from the phone number given in the Ink Process email and website. I took a satellite look at the 4550 Oakhurst Lane address and it...

Here are two scans of purge prints done when the CIS ink level was too high. Has anyone else had printouts that might have looked like these or related problems while operating a CIS? The stripes labelled PK are pigment black. I see some sites call this BK for short. The K stripe is dye...

I was curious about your situation so I went to www.inkprocessusa.com and on the home page under a title NEWS this is what they said: "Inkprocess is closed due to facility moving, restructuring and reorganization. Mick Carlotta will continue to be unavailable indefinitely. We are confident that...

Original OEM cartridges modified for refilling are a much better way to go. Your refillable may not have a satisfactory sponge density for the proper speed of ink flow.

Websnail, The experience of others, especially you, has contributed greatly to this project. Your recent discovery of the "ink too high" problem helped confirm some of my measurements.

White Dog, Encad has multiple patents related to CIS. What patent number do refer to? For others interested, Encad is a subsidiary of Kodak.

The maximum stress level imposed on the springs is about 30,000 psi. At room temperature, the relaxation expectation is far less than 1% in 20 years. One spring engineer said that the springs "will last forever". I have printed 110 8"X10" sheets of photos on glossy photo paper and about 40...

First, know that the Canon Pixma printers must have a negative ink pressure at the point of ink input to the print head. The print head operation depends on that negative pressure. The needed negative pressure is why the ink cartridges have sponge material just above the ink output port. The...

So there are two bidders now and about 2 days yet to go. The bid is up to 5.59 British Pounds! That averages 0.15 each.

Websnail, Concerning the results of "Ink Too High", and now thinking of the problem I will refer to as "Leaking Seals" for the seals at the cart-to-print head junction: I know what the printout of a CIS with "Ink Too High" looks like. I have been generating that condition intentionally and...

I only have three printers and my wife says, "What's the other two for?" But Websnail, you could open a shop!

You have surmised accurately! You do need the chip on the cart or the printer will refuse to print. The chip records the cartridge use by counting the ink firings by the print head, and so will eventually say that the cartridge is empty. The printer will instruct you on what to do if you wish...

I too am not a Lexmark fan and I don't have any special knowledge about your printer, but the fact that you got the colors when you wiped the print head with a damp cloth does not really prove that it is not clogged. You could be getting even dried ink to show up with the dampness of the cloth...

Perhaps you still have some valid cartridges that have not yet run out of original ink. If you do, the ink monitor will still come up and show the condition of those along with the empty. Since you have already responded appropriately to the empty cartridge signal, I assume that you are still...

The company representative for ThINKtank at www.thinktankuk.com did reply with permission for their Canon CLI cart resetter instructions to be put online here at Ink Jet Refill Forum. The company representative wishes to remind forum members that "The unit is designed primarily for refilling...

I asked the company thinktankuk.com for permission to publish the resetter information on this forum and received no answer. I also have received no requests for sending the information privately to an individual. I am in favor of forgetting the whole thing. Perhaps someday, a persistent...

A Mild Complaint. With Billkunert's post we slipped off the thread. Please, this thread is: Does German Durchstich Method have extra longevity? Thank you, canonfodder

Someone said in a post or reply that this method had produced many refills without the cartridge blocking up or needing a purge. Can any members confirm this? I think I remember something like "20 refills with no problem". Anyone who has used this method a lot, please comment on your...

poussindemont, You are correct. This is not a price for personal use, and the longevity of its usefulness is limited by the fact that the OEM will continue to try to defeat the resetter with his newer models. I reported for the interest of those on the forum who are in the business of...

I did write to their email address: sales@thinktankuk.com and got a prompt reply. I was sent the 2 page instructions and an addendum which deals with the changes that Canon has made in printers made since sometime in 2007. The email said: "Hello, Many thanks for your interest. We do...
