Anyway thanks so much for the bypass using the tape as it works great and there is still lots of ink left.

So their next offer was 20% off ink cartridges-but they wanted 50 bucks for the colours-bend over again.

They gave me the option of spending another 180 dollars to upgrade to their laser black only!!! Cheez thanks A$$holes. Hi, i bought a Brother MC-2330 on sale in January and the cyan ran out or at least the printer says so…all i want to do is print grayscale and it still would not let me so i emailed Brother to tell them what i thought of their print policy. I haven’t found them yet, but perhaps there are similar programs for other vendors. I also found a program for Epson printers which could reset the cartridge from Windows: The device can reprogram the chip on the cartridge to make the printer think it is still 100% full! Just google " chip resetter". There are various "chip resetters" on the market for people who don’t have a Brother printer. However, if someone else does, please post a comment Reply from Peter: Sorry, I have no idea how it works with Canon cartridges. Where would i put the tape on canon pg40 and cl41 cartridges, if at all possible? I have spent so much money on the color inks over the past few years, not anymore!! You are a lifesaver, I have been wanting to do this for years but thought it was impossible. Filling cartdriges with kits is a waste of time (only took me wrecking 3 printers to be convinced of this, never again). Printing photos is cheaper and better through Walmart.ca or any other printing service, sometimes 10 cents a copy.

My kids can print full color pages for their school work, I don’t sweat it, and the printer never clogged or streaked because of the ink quality.

I’ve had it for over 4 years, and have used no-name cartridges from Abacus () that cost a couple of bucks each (individual cartdriges), I would not buy another printer that I could not buy generic ink for, I’ve saved hundreds of dollars over the years by doing this. I don’t print pictures or anything like that with my Canon inkjet printer.

I’ll take my chances, as the potential loss of colour printing isn’t so bad in our case I’ll also keep hoping for either a smarter, more convenient and economical printing design, or a printing company that isn’t trying to rip us off. The reasoning given by printer companies is along the lines of having to continuously flow ink to clean the system. After placing a piece of electrical tape over a “window” on each colour cartridge, we were able to “trick” the printer into thinking the cartridges were full.Īfter a bit more searching, I discovered that this is a common issue, especially regarding Brother printers. Thankfully, as suggested in someone’s comment on, there is a solution that doesn’t involve getting a different printer or unnecessarily buying more ink. It’s an inconvenient and costly situation. Well, if that’s the case we should really find a more reasonable printer. Sadly, the printer refused to print in black and white until it received new colour cartridges. At any rate, we figured we would replace the black cartridge and abstain from printing in colour. That was hard to believe, and it defeats the purpose of having individual ink cartridges. But when the black cartridge ran out, the printer reported that the yellow, cyan, and magenta cartridges were empty as well. Since we purchased the Brother 685CW inkjet printer, we have printed almost exclusively in grayscale or black and white. It’s bad enough that many printers force you to replace ink cartridges well before they are empty.
