Is it possible to change the two inks that are empty, and then change the others as they run out? or do I have to change them all at once??

I only change the color that my printer indicates is empty...... no others at that time are changed.

You only need to change the ones that run out. I just buy ahead so I can print photos without waiting for more to be mailed. I only use originals as some of the cheap refilled ones don't do as good. just shop for the best deals

Yes the INK works Great & actually better because it allows you to use all the ink to the end. It may not tell you when it's almost empty but I would rather use all the Ink then be warned & have it effect my printing & cutting my ink short. :-)

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

You can purchase a bottle of ink. You can refill it somehow. I am sure there must be directions somewhere as to how to do it. I think the directions might be in the box. I bought this as a wedding gift so I am not sure. The manufacturer's website may have them. Hope that helps.

I'm sorry to say I have not had the need to replace either red or blue ink refills yet since I use it more as a stylist. Sorry I could not be more helpful. Pat P.

You can purchase more of the cartridges online. You simply pull off the old cartridge and put the new one on just like you did the last one. If you intend to change colors, you should clean the pen first. This can do done by running water through the pen and letting it dry. Sometimes using a syringe can really help get it clean.

I have had this problem before with ink I purchased from Sam's Club. I brought back the ink and they replaced it. Appears to be some type of problem with who's making the ink. I guess you'll have to contact the person you purchased the ink from and go from there. It's a real pain but there is not other choice. You may want to bring the ink to a store and see if they will replace it. I'm sure you (I) are not the only ones with this problem. The larger stores will know about it, just hope they own up to it.

There is a small tray at the top with an ink pad that you can slide out and add more ink. Very simple.

Won't do it. You have to replace the color ink and then it will work till the black runs out. Then replace the black etc. This seems to be a problem to some people but no big issue to me. I can deal with that small issued knowing my prints are waterproof and the ink is a lot cheaper than most.

I find the ink usage less than HP's, but unless you step to an MX8XX series, yes, you do need to replace a color cartridge if one of the colors runs out. I've gone months without needing to replace a cartridge though.

If you mean to change the printer so that the out of ink warning is ignored, the answer is yes, I did that. My complaint was not an out of ink warning but that the cartridge printed uneven, blurred and sporadic lines. The print outs were totally unusable. The cartridge was faulty.

I called the seller and the answer that they gave me was to just wait until the printer says the cartridge is empty then remove it and replace it. You have to physically check the cartridges to see if there is enough ink.

I Just replaced my black ink..Printer is ON, lift that large top lid... plus the part with CANON written on it...Both inks move to center...Once lid (top) is up you can plainly see both inks--Color's on left, black ink on right. Lift the old one out and once you have the new Black one in hand slip it into the black compartment--turn downward slightly and push gently into slot. Close lid, then lift the small lid on the right front of the printer/be sure it is turned to ON---green light shows. PRESS ON, OKAY and BLACK if it is a black refill you have replaced. Close top lid & allow printer to do its thing as it prepares that new cartridge for another few months. DONE.

Unless you have a chip resetter, they cannot be reset. Each time the printer stops with an "out of ink" message, you just press OK and it starts going. The printer will perpetually show the cartridges empty. Because of the cost savings, I don't mind the messages and occasional need to press OK. you can buy a chip resetter for some cartridges. Just need to search keyword "ink cartridge chip resetter" to see if one in available for your printer.

Unfortunately, I haven't figure out how to reset the level on my printer yet. But I know some canon printers can reset the printing count by pressing "stop" button. I haven't faced much difficulty in not knowing the ink level, because if a color is completely out, words/images using the color will not show at all. So for instance, when I tried printing out an essay one day, the black ink was out. So all I got from the printer was blank sheets of paper.

it is possible, the inks are available. I do not recommend this printer for dye sub work - too expensive. if the printer has been used with regular inks either buy a new printer or an extra set of inks - it will take a set of inks to flush the old ink from the printer. the inks cost twice the cost of a new printer.
