I haven't taken the plunge yet but I've been watching the feedback on a
couple of Canon chip resetters that they are selling on EBAY. One comes
from China and the other from Germany. The one from Germany has great
feedback but I haven't seen any U.S. buyers yet and the one from China has
hardly any feedback. I really don't want to void my warranty by disabling
the ink monitor so I'm using the printer minimally until I decide what to
do. I've been refilling the BCI-6 cartridges for years and so far I have
not had clogging issues.

All of the Canon printers that use single color cartridges such as BCI-6, CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges are good choices and they are easy to refill. A reasonably priced reset device is now available for the CLI-8 and PGI-5 cartridges is now available. I can also supply excellent bulk inks for the Canon printers. If you are interested in details you can contact me at:

And the last paragraph is from a spammer.

Maybe the feedback is censored.

I would not mess with any of that crap.

That certainly could happen.


so I'm using the printer minimally until I decide what to do.

If you want the best quality with the least risk of fading and the best out of the printhead then use Canon ink.

Is he sniffing around my *** again?

Or a few more hits with this search pgi-5* cli-8* resetter

http://search.ebay.co.uk/search/sear...=32%26fsoo%3D2

With all the new resetters it means Canon is back in the refill
game....GREAT. Canon makes the easiest cartridges to refill and now
they are resettable. Thank you CANON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11111

Not sure I would thank Canon for it... the German company that cracked
the reset code should probably be thanked. Of course, Canon may come up
with some new methods of getting around that with the next line of printers.

Epson is now making cartridges and printers that burn out the chip at a
certain point. It seems they will go to no end in the lengths of
skulduggery to try to befuddle ink refilling.

That is welcome news.

Why should they. They want to make money selling their overpriced ink
and they have a right to do so.

Canon printers using CLI-8 chipped cartridges; since a month or so
inexpensive chip resetters are available and refilling via the "German
Method" is a snap. Also various 3th party cart's with or without chips
are available.
Results may vary, the OEM cat's are best but the cheap alternatives may
be completely statisfactory.
