What are folks using to seal the refill hole?Some thoughts I had were: BlueTac,tape,hot glue(too much trouble for me),some kind of plug?

jimbo123, What made you replace the PGI5 cartridges?Did you see something starting to go bad......Or did you just feel like "it's time"?

May be a good idea to use demineralized water,but I suction the purged cartridges with a shop vac that leaves them bone-dry.Once dry,I just put them in a plastic air-tight copntainer until ready to fill.I've used my initial set for for 15-20 refills already and they seem to still be going...

Good to know...........and logical.....seems it would take something phsically clogging the "foam" to harm one.The only thing I can think of is calcium from hard water,since you can actually see if all the old ink is gone after a purge.And there is really not much calcium in tap water.Thanks!

Do you think a cartridge will last indefinitely if purged occasionally?I have a couple of sets,and alternate them.

Is Ebay the best bet for empty cartridges to refill?I need CLI8......(C,M,BK,Y)....for an ip4200 and want Canon OEMs.Any better sources than Ebay?Thanks! Fred

Melissa, The printers listed above are a good starting point,whether they use chips or not.However,if you want REALLY inexpensive printing with very little hassle,consider refilling as mandatory.The so called "German method" is very simple(there is a you-tube video that shows how to do...

embguy, I get Nashua brand tape at Home Depot.I think we are speaking of the same type.It's a dead soft aluminum tape (may be Nashua #322).There are several of these types around.One has a strong adhesive that is white and leaves no residue(the adhesive is very thin).The others have a...

Hey Aussieinker, That's what I thought.When you said "across the terminals" I wasn't sure.Guess that meant (+) to Pos and (-) to neg terminal on the coin battery holder of the Redsetter.I should learn some "electronics-speak" I suppose! Two AA's and a 2X battery holder with leads seems a lot...

Aussieinker, I looked at Radio Shack and they have a 2xAA battery holder,but it has snap-on terminals like a 9V battery.There are many on Ebay with wire leads for around $3 US.Will 3V provided by 2 AA batteries be sufficient(I noticed you said that there were problems at 2.8V....and you were...

Would a battery with more capacity like a pair of 1.5V AA alkalines(in series) work? Thanks!Fred

Are these "switch mode plug paks" what is referred to as wallwarts(the transformers used on cordless telephones)?I have several of the around and they are 9V DC.But they don't mention "regulated".Can you elaborate for those of us who are not so technically proficient?Thanks! Fred

Thanks,pharmacist Of the pictures that I have seen of the innards of the various resetters,the Sudhaus seems to be less cluttered and of better quality.It's been around longer than the others,too.And now that it's cost is as low as the Asian copies,it may be the way to go.I really prefer the...

The resetter landscape is becoming more cluttered.We have the original Sudhaus(now for about $20 on Ebay) and many models of the "blue" resetter that apparently come from various Asian sources.Is the German-made ,original,red Sudhaus still the best deal?I assume that prying the bottom off for...

I certainly don't feel it is irrelevant to know the name of a dealer selling a product that is,as you stated,possibly not fully functional.We posters feel free to recommend(and also tell folks to steer clear of)printers,inks,etc.Why not resetters?You say it "appears" to be the same as others...

sneezer, Can you post the name of the dealer for the blue chip resetter so we can avoid this one?

Live in Knoxville.The Smokies are great.....just hate the traffic!

If you get a separate scanner,be sure that drivers are available for your computer's OS.Vista does not support many scanners.

Thanks,guys!Sounds like I just need to order a resetter. I was a little wary because I had read that you needed a NEW Canon(OEM) catridge in the printer at all times.I'll only be using Canon OEM's(CLI-8) ,anyway,but they will not be new.

I have been using and refilling a Canon MP780 successfully for a long while.I just got 2 (new in box)Canon ip4200's and wish to use refilled cartridges with them.I already have empty CLI-8 and PGI-5 chipped cartridges and know how to refill these with bulk ink. I plan to get a resetter for the...
