Re: [Digital BW] Canon 17 inch IPF 5000 printer

2009-11-13 by Robert Johnston

Have been refilling cart's for about two decades, have not found an Epson or Canon cart which is not refillable yet.  Sometimes the place to refill them is covered by a label strip.  Other times Ive had to "drill" a hole to refill them.  Many refill kits come with a small hand held drill bit to make the hole with, and a rubber plug to fill it with while being used.  

Another thing Ive learned which may be on here or not, is in many cartridges they are not empty, when the printer says they are empty.  There is a small hole about big enough to fit a paper clip into, pressing a clip in it, resets the cartridge so you can print a lot more with it.

I assume the carts have some sort of chip on them.  Correct?
