Wonder if anyone can put me straight here..

The ink tanks for the ip4200 etc series printers as you know uses
chipped tank, I understand that this is for ink monitoring only

As I understand when these are refilled you lose the ink monitor an
you have to keep a visual eye on the level. So what happens when
refilled tank runs out on the printers, do they stop as though ther
is no ink in.....or do they continue to print even when the head run
dry, I would imagine it would stop printing

Be glad to have any confirmation to clear the matter up

Well if these new cartridges have electronic memory chips that become
non-functional once the cartridge is considered empty, then I'd say you
would probably be able to print with your own refill ink until ....
well, until you notice no ink coming from the nozzles, by which time you
run the risk of overheating them (ink is the coolant). You'd have to
remember to check the cartridges manually before every print job, or at
least at the start of the day, to know how much ink is left.

Yes it does sound strange, it what I've read a couple times an
wondered if anyone could clarify this, s'pose it's kinda like lettin
a kettle boil dry.."pop goes the element"

Could'nt see them fitting a chip just for the ink monitoring purpose
must be one or two with the experience by now.... thanks for th
reply

Well could you see them fit a chip to make a lot more of money, because I
think that's what they done, the bj6 cartridges was the easyest to refill,
think about all that money that canon didn't make.
Just my two pence

great cart to refill with quality ink and saving millions of dollars.

i wonder...if i remember right, Canon said tht optical sensor will remain,
and they will only add chip to follow ink more precisely...is that so or new
models doesn't have optical sensor anymore?
