outstanding tutorial actually you dont need to replace the chip on these cartridges, just tell your hp1600 printer to override. 1. From the main menu, press (Right arrow) to System setup and press (Select). 2. Press (Right arrow) to Print quality and press (Select). 3. Press (Right arrow) to Replace Supplies and press (Select). 4. Press (Right arrow) to Override out and press (Select). 5. Press (Select).
Thank you for the information. I have an older, but entirely sufficient printer that I would like to keep using, but it was smearing one of the colors all over every page. I replicated the hole-cutting tool by crimping a 3/8" to 1/4" copper pipe reducer around a regular solder iron's tip. I then cut a hole to empty the cartridge's waste toner hopper, and confirmed that there was no problem with the printer itself. Two other things to note: - Wear breathing protection when working with toner, as the particles float off with the slightest air movement and some studies have concluded that exposure has similar effects as asbestos. - When cutting into these HP cartridges, apply more pressure to the tool than you think you need to. There are plastic ribs inside the toner hoppers to increase rigidity, which may prevent you from feeling a "snap" once the shell has been cut. Waiting for this feedback will cause excess melting, and the edges of the hole will be less circular and very rough.
The short answer is yes. For the toner level to be displayed accurately, you need to replace the chip every time. However, as some others have mentioned, there is a way digging through the settings menus on your printer to disable the low toner stop feature so that you can keep printing even with the toner low.
Good video, thank you. I currently use Eagle brand HP refill kits from Amazon. the spouts on the toner bottles in the video are much larger than the ones in the Eagle kits. I'm going to try cutting the spouts on the next bottle I use. The narrower spouts take a lot of squeezing which can blow toner outside the hole.
Step 1 with any HP laser printer: Go to menu on the machine, Go to Quality then find the Toner Out OVERRIDE, select this. Now the printer will continue to print no matter what. Instead of HP deciding when you need to send them $300 for new cartridges, you decide when your printing begins to look faded. Toner Out OVERRIDE allows you to refill carts without replacing the chips. One set of HP color carts said out, when only 2-9 grams of toner had been used (they usually contain about 40 g)
Muy bueno el video y bastante instructivo, pero una consulta que diametro tienen las perforaciones que les realizan???? Tiene que ser cinta de aluminio si o si o podria usar la duck tape???
Be careful with the aluminum foil tape. I find I have to shave down the ridge on the edge of the melted hole with a razor knife, or the tape won't seal properly. The cartridges are narrow, so there's usually less than an 1/8 of an inch (3mm) for the seal. The slightest imperfection dumps toner inside the printer.
@meadowsirl The chips allow your printer to display the toner level. However, the override is still useful to get those last few pages out of your cartridge.
@ytmanuel Sí, todavía no tiene que cambiar los chips, tiene razón. Pero si los cambia, puede ver el nivel de toner de los cartuchos. Eso es porque nosotros incluimos los chips en nuestros kits de recarga.
Hi, excellent.! this way its more easy to refill. one question: how many grams from toner i have to put inside the cartrigde? sorry for my inglish are not the best. ¿Cuanto toner debo usar para recargar el cartucho?
@MEC0SAURIO Please excuse the delay. Our bottles include 95 grams of black toner and 90 grams of color toner. This yields 2500 pages of black and 2000 pages of color at 5%.
@Maxcielle It is possible that you didn't clean out the toner compartment well enough to prevent contamination. We strongly recommend you get in touch with InkOwl's Customer Support. Your order is backed by a 100% Satisfaction Guarantee.
Hola, no es necesario cambiar el chip !!!, si configuras la impresora para que ignore los cartuchos no es necesario cambiar el chip, puedes imprimir hasta que el polvo se termine al 100%. Saludos
Sí, exactamente. Existe un procedimiento similar para el HP 3600, pero las posiciones de los huecos son ligeramente diferentes. Si usted me envía un mensaje, puedo enviarle por correo electrónico las instrucciones PDF.
Ok, Gracias, Enterado, muy buen video, me sirvio para hacer mis propias recargas en mi negocio, sin tener que desarmar el toner, que eso es muy fastidioso. Gracias y saludos

Thanks! 1600 is quite annoying. I don't even want to replace the color cartridges, but not doing so left marks on all of my black printings.

hola los huecos en la parte superior de los cartuchos es para sacar el toner de desecho? y si es asi este metodo tambien funciona para la 3600?
La perforación debe ser de 5/8", pero se recomienda el tool. Se recomienda la cinta de aluminio, pero el duct tape funcionará también.
@ytmanuel Sí, todavía no tiene que cambiar los chips, tiene razón. Pero si los cambia, puede ver el nivel de toner de los cartuchos. Eso es porque nosotros incluimos los chips en nuestros kits de recarga.
@thingkinfast The toner kits are available from the InkOwl website.

¿Cuanto toner debo usar para recargar el cartucho?
95 grams black, 90 grams color
Thanks inkowl... I got my printer working but still need some toner now!
Do you have to replace the chip each time you refill the cartages?

4 cartridge strips here. Toner may be blamed
Thanks for the video. This is what I was looking for.

thanks a lot, very simple and easy to do, Thanks for share it.
Es claro que recomendemos la marca InkOwl :)
what happens if i dont change the chip?
The toner level will read empty. You can still bypass the error to allow printing, but the chip is so inexpensive, it's not worth the hassle.
Si el correo que ha escrito es correcto
buy and throw, buy and throw in the name of profit, instead of refill
