 Hey guys, Kevin here. Canon cartridge is getting more and more expensive. Let me show you a way that you can just get some ink, refill it, without buying a new Canon cartridge. I have to tell you that each cartridge has a chip, and to properly refill it, you have to reset the chip, or you have to have something to set ink level to zero, so to get a full tank of ink. The tool to reset it is called a resetter, and if you don't want a resetter, try to get an ARC chip. However, I'm going to show you a method that doesn't require any resetter or any ARC chips. This trick works for 280 to 81 cartridges. The trade-off is the printer always complaining it's going to be low on toner or ink. So if you can tolerate that little annoying message, and you can print forever, and you can save a hundred or thousands of dollars, and you only buy ink from the normal cartridges. Here's the cartridge status you normally see. The BK, the black, is showing the half tank. The second situation is the yellow color. You see a yellow exclamation mark. It means low on ink. And the third situation is like the other three colors, which has a red cross over it. The printer will stop working when you get a red cross. For example, if we print the more yellow, it will push it to the red region, and you're going to get this error window. By the way, we haven't refilled anything yet. I'm just showing you. We used a star arc cartridge. We just keep using it until we get this support code, 1600 or 16 something coming up. Same way, if you've got a regular Canon cartridge or XL, whatever version it is, just keep using it until you see this. Actually, Canon gave you the answer for the first magic button, which is I tell you to click OK on the printer. The printer should stop in the middle of printing. But if we click OK, it will go back to printing. Canon will let you print about 50 to 100 pages before it eventually stops you. And when that happens, you have another magic button that I'm going to show you. However, right now, just notice the yellow. The icon next to yellow becomes red after we click OK. You can see it prints perfectly. It's like your car. When your gas light is on, you probably can still drive like 20, 30 miles before it actually completely out of gas. You're supposed to refill cartridge right now, but let's print couple pages and see how much it can print. Now let me show you how to add in. It's actually simple. You don't need any tools. Just open it up. We use KT600 from BCH Technologies. Again, go to BCH Technologies, go to Ink for printers, and we use old dye ink. And this is one we used. You get two black cartridges. One is a PGI 280. That's the bigger cartridge. That one's supposed to use a pigment ink. However, we find if you use dye ink and make the print dye last longer, so we use dye ink. If you want to keep using pigment ink, you can go to Ink for printers again. Go to pigment and dye ink. And this is two PC, two P means two pigment black. So you're going to use those two pigment black for your bigger cartridge, PGI 280. And then it has a regular dye black. And that is for your COI 281 little black cartridge. I said this is the big pigment cartridge I'm talking about. Because we're going to use the old dye ink, so we're going to use the black on both large and small black cartridges. So I take a yellow one out. And the only thing you do is just drop the ink on it. You can say once you drop the ink, it gets soaked right away. So you don't even need to squeeze it. You just touch it. The sponge will suck the ink from the bottle. If you ever feed a baby, you'll know what I'm talking about. So the cartridge will starve the ink. So you just feed it. Okay, now you can see. Now get slower. Get in. Okay. And you can stop right here once it's slower. Or you can, if you over saturate it, it's going to flow out anyway. So you waste the ink. So you can see, it takes like a second to soak it in. So that's about right. At the case, do not overfill it. If you flip over, the sponge should be able to hold the ink without any ink flowing out. If you've got too much, just use a paper towel to soak up the excessive ink. Close the printer and we're done. The computer will now know you added the ink. So we will still show the yellow is auto ink. Every time you print, I will say the printer is low on ink or low on toner. That's just a way it reminds you how much money you saved. Oh, don't go away yet. Here's the second stop. Now the message changed. The Canon doesn't tell you to click OK button. It doesn't tell you any button to click. It just tell you the printer detect ink out condition. Just give a quick flashback. This is the one that we can click OK. See, it light up OK and it actually asking to click OK. And this time, it doesn't give you that OK button. So what you do is you hold down the stop button which is upside down triangle and just hold down to it until the message goes away. Like magic. So what this does is turn off your ink monitor completely. The printer will not track ink level anymore. You can just print freely ever, ever, ever after. So after you click the second magic button, now it's your job to keep track of how much ink you used. What I suggest to do is take a rim of paper and divide in half and write yourself a note to refill every half rim of paper. When you refill, you refill every single cartridge in the printer. If you want to be more quantitative, you can get a digital scale like this. It's about $10 on eBay. Our 281 cartridge, the letter cartridge, the empty weight is 13.27 grams. And the maximum I could take is 17.56 grams. The big black, the empty weight is 20.68 grams. And the maximum weight is 32.94 grams. Just so you're not, every cartridge can take this much. And the city's only filled with 32 grams and they're already leaking from the bottom. Don't forget that magic button. At this video, we went over how to use two Canon's magic buttons to disable the ink monitor to let you print forever. And we went through some basic refills. Next video, I'm going to show you how to refill less and print more. I hope you enjoyed this video. Visit us at www.bchtechnologies.com or locally at Greensboro, North Carolina. Cheers!
