Does this clear the ink cartridge counter?

this kit is very compatible with my Cannon MP495 - But I only fill the cartridge 1/2 way full (1/2 of each bottle) If you over fill, it makesit prone to burp or leak or spill - Be sure to drill hole for plug on top side, not bottom~! & the quality of prints are like a new one at 1/4 the price - good luckI love the kit, and will re-buy when I run low again, and the status window on mine shows LOW, and still needs ink, but that is a S/W flaw from Cannon~!

If you are referring to the counter/indicator that tells you it is time to replace an empty cartridge then no. You must refill before it is completely out. Different printers have different types of settings. I can not say exactly how your printer will operate with this kit. This will not affect anything electronic or reset indicators. It is simply a couple containers with ink, and small drill, and a syringe to inject the ink into the cartridge. My printer seems to give me a visual indication of how much ink is in the cartridge, I am not sure how but it does seem to affect that. When I fill the cartridge it seems to show full. Some printers will not allow you to print if that replace cartridge indicator/counter is on. I have not had a problem but would keep an unused cartridge to reset it and then after it resets then put the refill cartridge in afterwards and see if it the indicator/counter stays out. Hope that helps.

For the Canon MP 480 printer you can reset the ink cartridge counter by holding the red stop button for 10 seconds. Easy. Hopefully that works with other printers as well.

I haven't gone through a cartridge yet. It is working good. There was some smearing on the first few pages I printed after I installed it, but it went away.

They show a range of estimate ink remaining - not just full and empty.The ink indicator works the same was the OEM cartridges do; it estimates how much ink is remaining based upon the number and type of pages printed.

Not that I am aware of, it tells the cartridge and the printer that the cartridge is full of ink. The printer then deducts the amount used during print jobs until it hits zero and give you a warning that you need new ink.

No problems yet, but only one refill. Check to be sure that there is not ink on the chip at the bottom front of the cartridge or on the pins that make contact with the chip. Clean them with a Q-tip and rubbing alcohol to see if that helps. As for the colors, try the cleaning function that was mentioned in another answer. You can also remove the print head to see if there is any spilled ink on those contacts. If all else fails and you are still missing colors, soaking the print head in Windex for a couple of days, then rinsing in water can help dissolve clogs.

Yes, the printer status will indicate approximate ink levels. The chips on the cartridges will only reset when they indicate empty and then you remove them from the printer. If you remove a cartridge for refill before the indicator shows it as empty, then chip will not reset.

If the printer recognizes that the cartridge is installed it may be that the ink jet nozzels are clogged up. Go into the maintenance menu of your printer and do a deep-cleaning of the print heads. Also press the reset/stop button on the printer for 10-12 seconds. If this doesn't work, the cartridge may not have gotten completely refilled or the ink they used to refill it is of inferior quality and is drying out. There is no way to determine exactly what is causing the problem other than taking the cartridge apart in a lab enviroment........

No. It is just a tank where the wasted ink used in the cleaning process is stored. It becames full after 5 o 6 cartridges changes.

No it does not prevent aftermarket cartridges. There is no chip or fuse, etc to allow the printer to determine what or where the cartridge came from, there are only two mechanisms at work regarding the cartridge: 1) There's an optical sensor on the side of the printer that shines in a little transparent window on both the OEM and aftermarket cart. When the toner is low enough not to block the light then your printer issues low toner message. 2) There's a reset gear on the side that triggers cartridge depleted based on # of pages so it doesn't keep using recovered toner. All any aftermarket cart has to do with any firmware they might issue is have a minimal amount of toner higher than that optical window and have the reset gear positioned at the beginning of its travel. At the same time, if a new firmware does not list any fixes for problems you are (or aren't) encountering, there is no reason to update the firmware. However what I suspect the firmware update does is improve the logic for determining when a new (or full and reset, which it takes as the same thing) cartridge is installed, reducing occurances of needing to do the reset procedure because normally that shouldn't need to be done at all, only to remove the old cart and install the new or refurb'd one.

good question, but I have never counted the pages. I just watch the printer gauge and when it says I'm out I just change it. I might try to count them the next cartridge .

I'm not sure if it will but it resets chips on the individual ink cartridges.

Yes it does. However I junked mine, printhead clogs all the time. Have to use their ink cartridge, or the unit shuts down.

Yes it does. It states it in the description of the product. I am not a fan of inkwells either but I just haven't bought any cartridge ink yet.

Yes it does. It may keep reminding you that you don't have a color cartridge first, but it will print.

NO, but when re-filling tilt the cartridge up (vent higher than fill) and fill, or ink will come out the front felt on bottom. Do not level cartridge till you replace fill plug

Once the cartridge registers as empty, turn the printer off and back on again and the cartridge will register as full. Mine wouldn't reset until after it thinks it's empty.

Yes it does, but you will still get the error message letting you know to change the cartridge.
