Ink refill tool

[Andrew Wood]

Hi,

I want to know which ink refill tool is best for any printer. Can we refill ink without calling any specialist using ink refill tools?

@Andrew Wood, I’ll attempt to answer your questions as best I can !

All inkjet printers use a different way and special tools to refill, some are very easy to refill and some a little bit more difficult, they all differ.

Ink is specific to certain printer models and should be matched by colour and viscosity to each different printer manufacturer, otherwise your printed output will look very odd, or not print at all after a very short while...

What model of printer and model of ink carts do you require information about?
Refill methods differ model to model, so without that info first nobody will be able to help in any depth.

Hi,

I am using Canon Pixma printer and quality of printer is very good. I have researched online and found these sites to refill ink cartridges manually:

http://www.rjettek.com/refilling-tools/

I think tools selling above sites will help me to refill ink into my printer.

You might want to check out Octoinkjet and Precisioncolors. Both are excellent sellers and both post on this forum regularly.

Your printer uses 271 and 270 series of carts you can either refill them via a top method like most Canon carts or use a custom tool like this...

That video also includes weights of the cart and amount of ink to refill with.
If you wish to top fill follow this video...

AFAIK you can not reset the chip on this model yet.

EDIT: actually you can....

For if you and your printer are from Europe

For if you and your printer are from America

Alternatively you can purchase a set of refillable carts like these...

I wonder, is this type number really correct? The printer type number is for the North American model (intended for use in USA and Canada). The Model intended for use in Europe is Canon Pixma MG7750. Did you import the printer yourself or bring it with you from North America? The North American model will only work with cartridges and chips and resetters marked PGI-270 or CLI-271. The cartridges, chips and resetters for the European version are marked PGI-570 or CLI-571. Accessories for the European model will not work with the North American model and vice versa.
