Somewhat of a novice when it comes to printer operation. Using a Canon MG6821 with CLI 271 color carts and wonder why these carts are needing refill or replacement often when I exclusively choose the standard grayscale print selection when printing and almost never use color printing. Is the...

Shortly after buying my Canon MG6821 printer I research online for a resetter - at that time (June 2107) limited products were available. I found one on eBay sold be a CHinese seller named zhiyan2. The carts that came with the printer lasted for several months and the Canon OEM replacements are...

My new MG 6821 inkjet printer comes with the 5 OEM partially filled starter carts - wondering if these are capable of being refilled or did Canon design them somehow to be one use/disposables? Frank

Just purchased the Canon MG6821 printer using CLI271 and PGI270 cartridges. Currently researching aftermarket ink and ARC refillable cartridges sellers. Would very much like to hear from other members and their experience with sellers of ink and cartridge quality such as InkProducts, Precision...

Will try Precisioncolors, thanks

Reply to The Hat, Thanks for the response to my query will look into Precision and Octoinkjet to see if I can purchase individual bottles of bulk ink rather than the entire 5 tanks package. Frank.

I have been away from the forum for quite some time and would very much appreiciate member comments/suggestions on a cost effective, good quality bulk ink for my MX 870 using Canon 220 and 221 cartridges. I have a resetter that is still functional. TIA, Frank

Many thanks to The Hat and Martin for their responses and suggestions. If I had given my question more in-depth thought I would have realized that one cannot reset a print head - only ink tank cartridge chips fall into that category. Frank

I have been away from the forum for some time and wonder if there are resetters available for some of the newer Canon cartridges. I use the 240 and 241 and the 245 and 246 in my printers. Does anyone know of resetters for these cartridges? TIA Frank

Just got back to the forum after a delay. Thanks for the response and input The Hat and PeterBJ; kind of you to assist. Frank.

Two questions: Planning to refill the 245 and 246 cartridges - is there a way to reset the ink level. Most instructions I have found to date mention pressing the Stop/Reset for 5-8 seconds. Not sure exactly what this really accomplishes but it appears from the information I have found that this...

Contemplating purchase of a Canon Pixma MX479 and wonder if the cartridges are refillable and is a resetter needed. Any insights would be appreciated, Frank

My daughter and I have printers that use Canon CLI 221 and PGI-220BK cartridges. Her recently expired dead printer is an IP4700 and my printer is an MX870. We have a large supple of cartridges and bulk ink and wonder if there still might be any available printers that one can purchase that use...

Thanks for your continuing assistance, 1. I will have to research exactly what the timing strip is on the back of the printhead and how to clean it; unless you have developed a method that works. 2. Also will research how to purge/clean carts - if you have a technique that you find effective...

Many thanks for the response, Hat. BTW where in Ireland are you from. My maternal ancestors Doyles?Bulgers were from Tramore and my Denn/Powers ancestors were from Kilkenny. No idea where the Murphy s came from. I do fill my OEM Canon cartridges using the so called German method - I have been...

I have been faithfully running deep cleans on my MX870 monthly, but the other day when I tried to print a photo all I was getting was yellow in the printed photo. In the past with other Canon printers I removed the printhead and cleaned it in hot water (below the copper contact area) then ran a...

Sorry I neglected to identify the exact model - it is the HP OfficeJet 8600 Pro

I am contemplating the purchase of the 8600 since it gets good reviews in CNET. I have used Canon printers in the past and liked the ease of refilling and resetting cartridges, but am totally unfamiliar with the HP printers. My questions for the forum users are: Can the cartridges for the 8600...

Thanks Parhs and Joseph for your assistance. After reading your posts, I gained some confidence and applied a little more force to the gray unlocking bar and it finally released. As mentioned I was somewhat reluctant after the first attempt failed and the manual cautioned against removing the...

Joseph, I haven't yet read the user manual regarding print head installation, but hope to have time tomorrow and will again try removing the print head. I will apply a little more lift force, but certainly not enough to raise the printer off the stand. Will let the forum know the outcome. Frank
