There are many problems reported on this forum on exactly this same problem,
i.e. no colours printing or just no PGBK black at all, after changing a cartridge ?
There is no point in blaming either the printer or the cartridges when this problem occurs,
because you the user have gotten fair warning that it was going to happen and you didn’t
take the necessary steps to stop it, you have unwisely ran out of ink.
Now this may sound a bit harsh, critical and to the point, but it’s the truth and you now face
a very good possibility that your print head may well be damaged beyond recovery. (99%)
Using any refilled cartridges in a Canon printer, it doesn’t matter what brand they are,
without using a proper resetter or self-monitored ARC chips will inevitably lead to
this type of accident happening. (Disaster)
Canon print heads MUST have ink in them at all times while in use that is why Canon in their
wisdom have employed a prism sensor and chip in all of their cartridges,
so this type of accident can’t and won’t happen while using new OEM cartridges.
The chip and then the sensor are there to TELL you firstly that you’re running low on ink
and later on your printer will then STOP printing, why ?
Because you now have run dangerously low on ink that’s why.
Canon go one step further just before you disable the on board ink monitoring, with a final warning
stating if you continue to print you may well damage your printer. (No Sh*t Sherlock)
Trying to use up every last drop of ink inside a Canon cartridge is totally fool hardy,
because in an effort to save mere pennies you get instead a very expensive lesson
(Damaged Print head) Ops.
Refilling your OEM cartridges is a marvellous way to enjoy extremely cheap printing
but it has to be done correctly otherwise it can in fact be more expensive in the long run.
(Don’t assume, learn how)
Please remember a Canon printer is not an Epson printer so therefore it has to be handled
quite differently in the way it prints and uses its inks..
