Defcon2K, I work at a company that makes microelectronic assemblies and hybrid microcircuits. I can do something microscopic with a laser. I have begun to have confidence in the maker. I have a moderately complete instruction booklet for the resetter's operation. It is a fair sized company...

O.K. I asked my contact again about resetting some sample carts for me. This time he paid attention to the question, and said: "Hi, It is better you send us your empties (do MARK on the chips and empties). After resetting, we send them back to you and then you can check if the ink volume is...

Oh by the way, Artee, You would do well to learn how to refill your carts. It is not really difficult, and with the slightest care it is not messy. Your ink costs will drop way below the refill company's. This website will give plenty of information, and Mikling who commented here can help...

Mikling, Thank you so much for that information. I have not purchased an aftermarket cartridge, ever, so I had no clue. It is a little hard to understand the ink seller being so bold as to change ink types. With the price difference you quote, it is easy to understand how some refillers...

Artee, Why would the company called Rapid Fill dare sell a dye based ink for use in a printer that is designed for pigment inks? That is enough reason to never do business with them on any product. Are they stupid? Is it just the guys at that particular store? Does the company have a policy...

A RESETTER MAY EXIST! I AM MOVING WITH CAUTION. THERE HAVE BEEN FAKES. I have been communicating for some time with a company in Taiwan. They specialize in making replacement chips for toner carts and inkjet carts. I was interested in them as they claimed to be making progress on a resetter...

Referring back to my original post: I have not printed a lot since that post, but I wanted to report that my Photo Black is still showing half full in the Ink Monitor display when I print. I have not printed enough to know whether it is really counting down or not. It may have just stuck a...

That low feedback score only represents 1 negative comment out of a total of 6 feedbacks, and that person filed negative on a used all-in-one printer, etc. and they felt that not all the little pieces were there. I have been on eBay for several years now, but I don't know if they are imposing...

Elohim, If you are doing about 2000 pages/month and you buy ink in liter bottles, sooner or later you should consider a CIS System. With the right system you could connect those 1 liter bottles to your printer and not be refilling so often. Many on this forum would appreciate knowing how much...

All, Good discussion and great photos! :) This method looks better all the time, especially with all this good information.

Hpnetserver, This is only a matter of terminology usage. I am an engineer, and whether positive or negative, they all are pressures to me, so if I say pressure, without adding the adjective "positive" or "negative", I include the whole range, with both possibilities. A vacuum is a negative...

Panos, Mikling is correct in the things he reports on the CLI-8 and the predecessor BCI-6 carts. I will try to fully describe what makes the cartridge so special. The design of the cartridge gives near perfect control of the ink. The pressure of the ink as it is fed to the print head is...

WARNING: This may be an FNO Post. The Canon Sponged carts are really very special. They represent an invention that may be simple in its manufacture, but it embodies very shrewd engineering and probably is the best inkjet ink cartridge that has been made. Over the past few months I have...

I am prone to agree with Tin Ho on the sponge damage issue. I don't know what damage goes on in the sponge when you penetrate it, but it would seem that if your needle could get under the sponge, lifting it a wee bit, and only temporarily, it would be best. I would expect that a needle tip...

I did not answer before, but I had gone to the eBay item. Good Grief! He must have visited all the dumps in California to gather those up. He also imagined that he would get rich on this one sale, huh? No one bid and the sale flopped. Not surprising. I want some empty CLI-8 carts but I won't...

"Chippedoff, The water was straight from the faucet. It is moderately hard, coming from a well in the earth. I would not expect it to be nearly as conductive as salt water. Salt water can REALLY conduct an electric current. In a quick check with an Ohmmeter, I took a small plastic glass...

Websnail, I don't have the ink, or I would send it to you. What I do write about is a question. What CIS are you using that gives you the trouble? You sign saying you have CIS from MIS, InkRepublic, and self-build, so I presume it must be one of these. I too have an iP4200 and I am...

:o I'll start this out with my startling report concerning last night's operation. It has become a FNO post. Sorry :( I have been refilling CLI-8 color carts in my Canon iP4200 for a while now. In their turn, each cart was declared as empty and I did the "continue printing" command with the...

No offense taken by me. You are getting a bit off subject for this thread, but you are not the first to do that. As to talking about Epson instead of Canon on this Forum, you are not out of order. Sometimes it may seem to be a Canon forum, because Canon does make some of the best, so gets...

Shrey, I have not heard about the Kyson brand systems, but there are a great number of re-brand and re-sellers who are selling just a few systems made in mainland China. I have seen very similar pictures as shown on the website under other peoples brands. Notice that the website is pretty...
