    Monitoring cartridges

    You are saying the re-setter did not properly reset the chip and the prism monitoring failed? So even a "normal" (not resetted) defective chip is not backed up by the prism?

    German Durchstich refill method for Canon carts with pictures

    I reset my first cartridge today (5BK) on an iP4300 and also refilled using the German injection method. Practiced on a virgin Hobbicolors cart with the needle and found that resistance from the foam insert required a lot of force to get to the ink chamber;the Canon cart was, in contrast, simple...

    That's why I'm holding back. I can't figure why these machines aren't being offered from North American sites.

    How good are Hewlett Packard Printers

    I find the HP 900 series to be near indestructible. If you can find one in a garage sale and it still has the three little plastic tits that impel the sheet forward after printing, it's worth the $5 that the poor sap is letting it go for. As a bonus if it still has the carts - even when empty -...

    Canon Chip Resetter Reports

    Since 'Zap' reports that the carts have been through the cycle more than once, and the 'reset 'carts are accepted by the printer, then it matters not the amount of ink that has been added. Surely the IR ink level feature must supersede the number of pin firings, inasmuch as it's entirely...
