Will I get low ink warning after refilling the cartridge?

I did once, but it went away. I've put 5x refills into one cartridge with no trouble so far, almost used up ONE of the two syringes it comes with.

-no. it just gives you extra length usage. a bit more ink. also when it shows low, take it out & shake it. you get more usage.-

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.

These cartridges do not require any additional action for reset. A chip resetting device is not required. After refill your printer should show them as full when first put back into the printer. I'm using these refillable cartridges successfully in a Canon MG5420 inkjet printer. I did have some problems with refilled cartridges not resetting to full when put back into the printer. But then I discovered that this printer first needs to indicate the cartridge is COMPLETELY EMPTY, then after refill, the printer has consistently shown them as full.

Yes, according to all the sellers on the certain huge online auction site not-to-be-named. But, you have to keep in mind that the chip and printer will forever remember each other and the printer will continue to give you a pop up stating your ink is low, when in fact you just filled it. The ink level is a guesstimate and not an actual level indicator. You can buy off-brand cartridges and put the old chip on them, but they will show as empty. You have to force the driver to accept that you wish to keep using the "empty" tanks. It works, it's just annoying.

Unfortunately, apparently Cannon printers have some "built in" system that if you used refilled cartridges it will state "empty ink levels or no ink" even though it has ink. This apparently only happens when you use remanufactured or refill a cartridge. You can't get rid of this but when you install a refilled or remanufactured cartridge press and hold the reset button for 30-60 seconds until the alarm light goes out. This actually resets the print levels even though they may not show on your system ink levels. I try to keep an estimate of my printting and know when when my levels are truly out and order more ink. Hope this helps. Unfortunately, apparently Cannon printers have some "built in" system that if you used refilled cartridges it will state "empty ink levels or no ink" even though it has ink.

yes, just like the epson ones. it will tell you that certain ink cartridges are low.

I have never tried but I will guess "no". Once a cartridge is too low it will not print so I am guessing it will not print if a cartridge is missing or empty, regardless of whether or not it actually *needs* that cartridge.

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.

Great info! Will you be stuck with low ink dialog box even if you go back to OEM ink cartridges?

Mine did the same thing. I contacted the supplier and they told me how to override it. I did that and it did not help, so they replaced my order. I was quite happy that their customer service was so good. This cartridge lasted a little longer, but I got the low ink message again. I overrode it and it is still going. I don't know if this is a cartridge issue, or just a flaw of this particular printer. Fortunately, I don't do a lot of printing or it would definitley be an issue.

I just shut down the printer prior to the installation. I did not have to do anything with the chips. This cartridge seems to be able to reset ink level w/o problem. At first I only replaced the black cartridge, it printed out okay for two pages and then gave me a message that all color inks were all low, then it would not print until I replaced color ink cartridges. Then I tried copying a color page, all colors printed out okay. I helped my neighbor install the same cartridge set on her Lexmark printer (a different model). We had a little difficulty to place the cartridges in place, it seems that the fitting was not as tight as mine. The original cartridges were 100 not 100 XL. This cartridge set works on her model too. It requested for Head Clean after turning the power back on. I BYPASS that and just use COPY for testing.

yes, that's what I am using it on. However I would recommend similar cartridges with a manual reset switch or even a continuous ink system if you're doing alot of printing. With the auto reset you have to wait until the printer recognizes the cartridge is out of ink before it can reset. You won't be able fill up the cartridges and have the printer recognize them as full, so it gets annoying if you do a good amount of printing. Ruin a printer by printing with no ink in a cartridge, so you have to keep that in mind too.

No idea but the if the cartridge has a chip, and you cannot reset it, then it's not going to work. My case is even with the refillable Lexmark cartridges, it still refused to work after the refill. Nothing wrong just the printer detected the refill and 'refused' to use it.

if your cartridges are refillable, you can refill them with bulk inks. you will need to get a reset chip--you can check at refillbay.com to see if your printer type is listed for use with the chip. very easy to do

The printer will inform you when the ink is low. At this time you should order ink soon.

I don't know yet. The cartridges I intend to refill are not yet empty. It all looks as if it will work.
