    Pgi 225 & Cli 226 Chips Are Blowing Using Usb Resetter.

    Pgi 225 & Cli 226 Chips Are Blowing Using Usb Resetter.

    So I have two of these resetters. Inkjetcarts.com gave me a second one when I complained the chips were blowing. I have now checked out both and the voltages are same on both. Is there an easy way I could convert these to battery operated by removing the usb plug and then soldering on two...

    I’m having trouble resetting the chips on my pgi 225 and cli 226 carts for my MX 892 printer. I’m using a USB resetter purchased from inkjetcarts.com. I also purchased their resettable chips so I might change over all the carts I have left from my old printer (MX860) pgi 220 & cli 221. The USB...

    Official Poll: How Do You Refill Your Inkjet Printer Cartridge?

    German method for me now over 2 years. I also fill for two other people who do a ton of printing. I fill with squeeze bottles with sharp needles. In the beginning I tried to squeeze to fast and had a couple of accidents. Had to pace myself when I was filling more than 5 sets at a time I get...

    MG6350 - Help to choose the good refill method

    Both methods are being used by a lot of people with success. Both have their problems but can be worked around. Ive been refilling through the side hole (referred to as the German method) a few years now with a lot of success and hardly any problems. What you have to watch is that when you...

    Printer acts like it is running out of ink

    I think you guys are right. Ive had this thing (the print head) apart a couple of times now and I still get the same thing. The nozzle checks are terrible as far as the PGBK goes. The colors are ok to fair. I can print usually one page and then it starts to deteriorate. I guess I need a new...

    HP psc 1600 Horizontal spread sheet lines and printing is wavy

    Well right again ---- I cleaned up the bar and put a little lite oil on a tissue rubbed on the bar on both sides of the cart holder. Turned the printer back on and it does sound a lot better with no error messages. So I printed the spreadsheet again but sorry to say I got the same results wavy...

    Printer acts like it is running out of ink

    Ok now Im starting to understand how this thing works. Thank you PeterBJ and Turbguy. After hearing this and looking at the whole thing I believe the seals serve a dual purpose both for the vacuum and to keep things from drying out. Once the ink is sprayed out of the head, - that starts a...

    HP psc 1600 Horizontal spread sheet lines and printing is wavy

    You are right. I am printing in landscape so it is the vertical lines that are all wavy. I cleaned the belt (1/4" wide tan or brown) is this the right one??? It had a lot of ink on it and took several wipes to get it clean. I did this by holding the tissue against it while I worked the...

    Printer acts like it is running out of ink

    I am really mystified here. Seems most everybody says I need to purge a PGBK cart so that it can feed ink to the outlet sponge. I tried 5 more refilled carts tonite all with the same result. I tapped each cart on my bench with the orange cover in place. Then I also tapped several times on the...
