Hello
what is the physical difference between a canon pgi-550 and a pgi-570
cart?
They look similar in size & appearance but the 550/551 will not work
in my Canon MG7750

Any ideas please
Thank you

Assuming they are chipped cartridges then they won't work in a printer they
are
not designed for even if they are physically identical.

Thank you Tony
the 570/571 carts cost a fortune even the compatible
A quick search indicates that there is a chip resetter for those cartridges
so
refilling yourself may be an option.
It is not much fun with some cartridges but easy with others. You would need
to
Google the process and decide.

Thank you Tony i will take a look.
I did refill a few years back with the Canon ip 4200, but it burnt out
the print head making me think that the inks were responsible.
Back then i was able to buy a new printer cheaper than a print head!!
I was in the computer and printer business for many years and not once did I
hear of a proven case where inks caused a printhead to be damaged despite what
some printer manufacturers might say.
The wrong ink cannot cause it to burn out, it might cause clogging but only
rarely and only if you buy poor quality inks, and having no ink in the
cartridge can cause damage because the ink (in some printers) is used as a
coolant for the printhead. The risks are so small as to be virtually negligible.
Good luck.
Tony


I have ordered re-fillable chiped cartridges & ink so I will see
how it goes. 100 ml bottles shoud keep me going for a good while
