2008年3月21日 · Normally Canon XL cartridges hold 50% more ink than the standard cartridges and the price is also +50% for the XL version of the cartridges. But the capacities specified are nominal, meaning the amount of ink used in the production of the cartridges. Not all this ink can be used in printing, so the useful capacity is lower.

2011年2月2日 · Our ink tanks do not have expiration dates or expire as ink tanks from other manufacturers may do. The information you have mentioned is a 'lot' number that is used to track where the tank was made. As long as the tanks are sealed or are not stored outside the recommended 32 to 104 F temperature range, the tanks should last indefinitely.

2013年10月20日 · The set-up cartridge and the newly purchased OEM cartridge have exactly the same amount of ink in them, so the only difference between the two are the label on top of the cartridge and the chip itself. I reckon the chip is a special setup chip that causes a DRM in the Canon Image Garden App to block access to this exclusive photo software.

2013年3月19日 · My trusty MX860 has died-Burial this afternoon. I've got backup 220 and 221 cartridges-would like to use them on next printer. Anybody know if any current printers use these cartridges? Thank-you; Gordon

2005年11月23日 · Excuse me if this question has been asked before. I have just bought a canon ip5000 printer that uses one BCI-3eBK and four BCI-6 cartridges. I have bought a set of replacement cartridges, but I can't see no expiration date printed on cartridge boxes. The only thing I can see is an alfanumeric code printed in the bottom of the cartridge box.

2005年12月8日 · This is a picture of a CLI-571 "SETUP" cartridge, containing 7 mL of ink. It is possible to top-filling it easily by removing the 4 mm ball plug like all the Canon cartridges I know. But I still do not understand the role of SETUP cartridges . . .

2017年7月20日 · The ink acts as a coolant for the nozzles at the same time as substrate for printing. No ink or bad ink may permanently burn out nozzles or warp them. If the printer is still under warranty then call Canon Tech Support. They will not help if you say you have used any cartridges other than Canon OEM or have refilled OEM cartridges.

2021年1月1日 · I have a Canon ix6820 printer and I would like to just replace the CLI-251 Black ink cartridge with a special UV blocking black ink for making transparencies. I purchased this ARC Empty Refillable set from ebay and I'm waiting to fill the "BK" cartridge with the expensive ink until I can be sure that I'll be able to use it.

2019年4月5日 · This disabling of the ink monitoring as mentioned in the link in my previous post has worked for me with printers using cartridges as new as PGI-550/CLI-551 and PG-510/512 and CL-511/513. The link mentions PG640, PG640XL, …

2015年5月26日 · I still have tons of Canon cartridges from my previous printer so thought I'd look for a printer that uses those cartridges. Putting the cart before the horse, I know, but it does make sense financially, especially if I find a good match for a printer. Two questions: 1.
