I read in a computer mag recently that Using a CD writing pen on disks causes the ink to burn into the top surface of the disk making it unuseable after about 6 years. Also the article stated that using stick on labels has the same effect. Recommendation was to use print to cd face function...

Excellent article on identifying the inks used but what about Canon 4 ink cartridge printers, ie no photo black ink cartridge (Ip3000, 3500 etc). What carts are used when printing photos with these printers?

E-mailed promaximaging on 3 separate occasions but not received a reply. Shocking customer service

Sid A Resetter or Redsetter (as it is often called) will reset the chips on your cartridges so that your printer will record ink levels on your refilled cartridges. Although not a necessity it removes the need for you having to physically examine the carts. Personally I wouldn't be without...

Anyone any experience of filling carts with this ink. I know that Rihac try to promote CISS systems but wondered how the ink compared to Canon's (without profiling) I have found that without profiling Hobbicolors ink is brighter than Canon ink but a little too red and Image Specialists is...

Haven't had a problem so far and must have reset over 100 carts. Like you I bought the redsetter when it first came out for over 30. Only problem I've had has been a couple of carts which reset ok but my printer wouldn't recognise them. Put this down to faulty chips rather than the resetter though.

The only disadvantages with these later printers is that their cartridges hold a smaller amount of ink and you will need to buy a new resetter for the chips. You will also need to purchase some more empty cartridges as your cl-8 ones will not fit. As suggested go for a good used IP4300 or IP4500

Try printing in grayscale (printer properties).

If you live in the UK the Euro and Dollar exchange rates are poor value. Purchases from the States are subject to VAT if over 18 in value. UK Customs are liable to hit you with VAT and the Post Office charge a 10 collection fee. Sometimes you get away with it but it's a gamble. Hobbicolors ink...

I've given up on it. The red light is illuminated but the cartridge is not recognised. Thanks for all your suggestions, which I have tried.

Thanks for info. Tried the eraser and got a red light illumination. Thought I'd cracked it but Cartridge still not recognised. Obviously the chip is kaput.

One of my cartridges can be reset on my redsetter but my printer will not recognise it (no red light etc.) I'm a bit tight when it comes to throwing away empty carts and just wondered if anything can be done with the chip.
