Canon Pixma ip4500 Ink Tank Question UPDATE
Stick Stickus wrote:
Sounds as though the chip may not have reset correctly. I would take it back the Cartridge World you originally got it from, don't forget you have an unconditional warranty on that cartridge. Regards Stick Many thanks for this advice. I have taken the apparently faulty tank back to Cartridge World. They acknowledge that some chips may have errors. They exchanged my tank without any fuss and I have fitted this new one and all goes perfectly once again. Clearly the chip tells the printer how much ink is left in the tank and needs to be reset to "Full" when the tank is refilled. Cartridge World say come back if any further problems so they are delivering good customer service. John Chapman |

Canon Pixma ip4500 Ink Tank Question
We need to begin to demand a new pricing model. And I believe the only
way that will happen is if it is legislated, so time to work on our elected representatives (or, since this is a widely read international group) your local dictator ;-) Seriously, this business model is very bad for the health of our planet and its inhabitants, and it makes for crummier inkjet printers in terms of reliability, because they are "toss away" goods now.

Personally I would prefer to pay more for the printer and less for replacement ink tanks. I second that motion, wish it were true. |
