Canon Large Format Chip Override Instructional Video.

BEFORE WATCHING PLEASE READ THIS

1) JOB ONE is to provide ample ink supply FIRST and FOREMOST to the printer.

NEVER DEVIATE FROM THIS! HEADS RANGE from $390.00 to $550.00 usd.

2) JOB TWO is to operate the printer in a manner that it needs to SEE you are following normal operating procedures. For instance remove the bypass switch you have installed prior to pulling and reseating cartridges (if your bay cover is removed). The printer actually NEEDS to SEE the door is open prior to your performing maintenance on ink tanks.

3) JOB THREE is to make sure you are using refillable cartridges that are designed for repeated installs and reinstalls. Canon Factory Cartridges are NOT designed for repeated use. Hence, why they are overhauled by reputable cartridge refillers like us. NO, WE no longer ask for returns of Canon original cartridges as we have our own line of compatibles that we offer instead.

IN ADDITION, the Canon cartridges are opaque and ink levels will ALWAYS BE UNKNOWN TO YOU once you override the chip. So to be safe you will need to pull the cartridges out even MORE OFTEN than normally to ensure safe ink levels!

OUR RECOMMENDATION, is to NEVER REFILL CANON ORIGINAL CARTRIDGES and if you do, put a NEW CHIP on them clocked for the proper amount they contain and do not watch this video.

4) JOB FOUR is to always use a truly OEM MATCHED INK SUPPLY like InkJetCarts Lucid© Pigment Inks available only from InkJetCarts http://www.inkjetcarts.us
