Do these cartridges have chips so that the printer tells you when running low on ink?

Hi Henry, I have not used the black ones yet but my Brother MFC-J45100W does show me for each ink color.

I think it depens on the printer you have. I have a Brothers multifunction MFC J4510DW ans it shows when you are low on ink,low on paper also. You should be happy with these cartridges. I have found no problems

Yes, they appear to accurately updating and are working well. I haven't touched them since September when I bought them

If you print something that's yellow, does it print okay? One of the most amazing things I've learned recently is that the microchips on the cartridges that send the information to the printer when the ink is low, doesn't actually read when the ink is low. Instead the chips are manufactured to a preset number of prints, so even if you've not used the yellow it says you have. I bought a microchip resetter from amazon a couple of months ago that is going to save us a fortune in ink. Now I reset the chips and watch my printouts myself to determine when the cartridges need replaced. Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002RFQCS0/ref=oh_details_o08_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 I hope that helps.

They do not come with chips. There is a you tube video that shows how to fill and remove the chips from the old cartridges and put them on these cartridges.

Not sure what you mean by chips. The cartridges are a complete replacement for the original. They have the LED that indicates proper connection and it also shows the ink-level in the menu. Hope this helps.

No, as the printer always reports that the cartridge is out of ink due to the embedded chip in the cartridge.

There is a special mechanism located on each toner cartridge that notifies you when toner is low. I have one of these myself.

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

Yeah they do. They work great. I'm printing flyers and business cards right now actually and they're working just fine. INSPECT EACH CARTRIDGE THOUGH - One of my cyan carts was exploded and they wouldn't trade it for me. :(

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

I don't rely on the ink level indicators as they show empty long before the cartridge runs out. Other than that, no problems.

They do not work on mine! My printer keeps says "Cannot Detect". I think the microchip used on the generic ink cartridges are outdated. Waste of money :(

I believe they do. It was suggested that after installing the cartridges you disconnect hour printer for about a minute. Then you will see the ink levels register.

There are 'electrical contacts' on the ink cartridge, the package does not mention computer chips.

- I have not had that problem with my ink cartridges only toners, if ever you put a new ink cartridge in your printer and it uncommonly reads low ink I'd advice you to rifle your office for pranksters... JackAss episodes aren't in our very distant rear view mirrors. I do wish I could get more use out of those ink cartridges though, the color doesn't seem to last very long when printing pictures.

Yes they do. The driver app on the PC detects the cartridge change and shows it as full. It even has the little light on each cartridge. :)

Apparently, Canon installs chips in the ink cartridges, in order to let you know the amount of ink left in them. I'm not sure about Canon, but in my old HP printer, if they passed the expiration date, the printer would not function unless they were replaced, even if still full. So, if you can find compatible ink, without chips, go for it!!!

They do but I don't recommend. Since I bought the two inks my printer its been cancelling the printing after printing the 2nd or 3rd page
