Checking Druckerchannel.de for news I found this test: http://www.druckerchannel.de/artikel.php?ID=3267&seite=1&t=vielseitig_aber_kein_wunderkind or in English.: http://translate.google.dk/translat...267&seite=1&t=vielseitig_aber_kein_wunderkind

This printer uses the new PGI-550/CLI-551 cartridges.

With the trouble that Canon have gone too with this printer in designing a new cartridge would seem extreme to say the least,
is it just one to prevent refilling and two to stop CISS being used or have they done something else.

The chip they have used is also a redesign and I am wondering if you let it show empty then can it be refilled
and reset or have they gone the extra mile to stop that too, like no more disabling the ink monitoring indefinitely.

I suspect they could have introduced something like (THE wet chip technology) that Epson
has to stop the refiller in his tracks, total speculation but only time will tell.

We will need someone to be the guinea pig and buy one of these new printers
to find out one way or another and report back on their findings.

Any takers ?...
