the music and the invironment make me feel like watching a crime video
LOL. Thanks. It was our early years. We thought flying eagle landing on the BCH logo was avant-garde. RUclips let us cut off the animation but won't allow further editing. We made some replacement videos, music-free and eagle-free.
*Yeah, you are!, and the criminals are canon!*
your time making this video was not wasted .I was tired of paying too much for ink cartridges only to run out quickly. I applied this information now I can start reprinting my eBay postage stamps👍🏼 so this was very important to me.🎯🎯 thank you very much👌🏼
Great vid! I just have ONE suggestion - a big one too - DO NOT drill the hole out, it has high potential for leaving particles of plastic inside the cartridge which can interfere later or clog it up. The solution is to use a lighter or torch and heat up a needle head that is smaller than the syringes going in. Then just put that hot tip through, let it melt a clean hole, then you're set. :)
Oh! I wouldn't have thought of that ! Thank you very much for that tip!
But the sponge helps with debris
Thanks u r legend
awesome thanks great tip
Makes sense. Thanks.
You are not a life saver but a money saver too!!!
Thanks so much! I homeschool my son and print out all of his work because he cheat from the answer keys lol. I fixed the cheating by printing out his work but a cartridge only last a week and a half. I purchased jumbo bottles of ink but looking at everything that came in the kit looked overwhelming. You made it look simple. Back to printing I go❤️❤️❤️
Hello. I just wanted to let you know that you have saved us monies. I ordered your ink, watched your video and am now printing again! Thanks!
Thank you for this video! You get right to the point. Much appreciated! My first time filling 5 cartridges was quick and easy.
Thank you :) This might sound stupid, but I didn't know, and other vids had not said, that I needed to have the printer turned on!!! I wish I had watched this so long ago. I like how you slowly go through what might seem to others obvious, but this afternoon, you have saved a printer being chucked out the window! Also, The music didn't bother me too much, but you don't need any - it might be distracting and your voice is great. Big to having a female explaining technology. Thumbs up!
OMGosh! It took ME a while to absorb the full process but IT WORKED ;-)
THANKS SOoooo Much for the detailed instructions...I bought a 3rd party printer refill without instructions for $10 just hoping that it would work.
I filled the Black only just to print the test page as well as the printer ink override--worked perfectly!
URAPRINCE!!!!
thanks for showing that pinhole on the black! another video had used the circle at the bottom hand drilling was taking forever.
While it took ME much, much longer to drill that hole...the rest of your video helped me greatly. Thank you.
Canon hates this. I like this.
Thank you great video! Imagine if these companies sold pre-drilled refillable ink cartridges with ink!! Simultaneously reducing the plastic footprint and snatching up and cornering the market!!!
Thank you for the tutorial! You've simplified things very well.
@Kevin at BCH brought stuff from you on the site and took time to review some. Good stuff you do. Short and fast stupid question I been wanting to know for a long time. It may be in front of me and it just slipped me. I need to understand better. All the ink carts I ever had are original factory- Canon. New or used brought. I pop many cases off and I see one thing that differs. This would be for- 243, 244. When you peel sticker off top some carts have the straight ridge cross and air hole is few up on left side. Other stickers on carts you peel the top case is smooth like in vide here. What is the case here and or differences? Just a number on sticker or color or?
I used a 3/4" drill and pour the ink in until full. Less than 1 minute and im up and running
Warm up the drill bit over the stove flame..it's easier to make the hole
Brain over brawn, I always say.
How much ink should I use to refill an XL cartridge?
Hello my ink is leaking why is that and what can I do to fix it?
please help me, I have printer canon G2000 series and the trouble is indicator lamp is 15 times flashing.
please tell me what i have to do ,without i buy new cartridges because in indonesia the price that cartridge really expensive to me
thanks and best regards,and god blessing you and family
Amazing! Thank you!
A few questions.
Does this work only for certain Canon printers?
Are there software barriers that has to be bypassed after filling in the ink?
It works for all integrated cartridges.
@@BCHTechnologies Not sure that with Epson it works!
Which type of refill ink did you use for the black and colored? I want to buy the exact one
I refilled mine its a canon pixma ts3122 printer but it wont read them it says low on ink
Your drill you sold me is too big, I used a 3/32 also I used a toothpick to make sure I was filling from the bottom of the sponge. If anyone has a pixma they should clean the CLEANING BED first. It’s the white or grey plastic tray directly under the cartridges in their service position
What about if you already refill the cartridge the printer cannot read the amount of the ink what is the problem?thank you reply asap
Thank you so much. it work for me by holding down the triangle buton for 15 sec my printer is working again now
Well watched it carefully .and i like it.. I dumped my epson printers.. Never worked good . bought another. Still crap. The cannon is a nice printer and easy to use and great print
Refilled my color cartridge and now it won't print yellow at all. Should I add more yellow?
How to find the right color that match the oem cartridge
how about ink leak from bottom of cartridge when refill
Do you have anything for a Canon Pixma TS1322? Refillable cartridges or a kit to refill it with instructions?
hi I replaced ink in my canon TS3322. after inserting the cartridge back, when i try to test print i keep getting E03 error code. i tried to turn off and on.. no help. looks like E03 means paper jam, but no jam in printer... would appreciate any help
For easier drilling, hit it with small nail first, then drill it.
Also you can heat the nail first.
When I inject the ink, it will comes out right away from the bottom part, but my computer says low ink level. Does my cartridge broken?
Why poke a hole through the scotch tape if the hole was already covered by the factory sticker?
Great info. .you are no 1
thank you , i was almost going crazy
Very helpful video
Very usefull, thanks for the tutorial
thanks for video now i can save money on ink.
At about 6:29 you describe how to bypass error by holding the stop button down for 10-15 seconds. When I do this the error windows go away but it doesn't print when I try to do a test print. The same error/status windows pop-up. I have not refilled the cartridges yet. I'm trying to determine if there is any ink left and if there is damage to the print head.
Can I use any refill inks on my cartriges?
I followed every step, but my printer is printing blank pages now... I only refilled the black, do I have to refill the color? Also, I held the stop button for 15 seconds but it’s still saying it’s low ink
I'd tried it and it is very successful. Tq.
Now my printer is my photostat machine.
Thanks for the update!
I refilled the oem carts, but I don't know how to reset the carts so th ink levels show 100%, any advice ? On a TS5120
How many ML do you refill in the 241XL color carts?
why is it necessary to make pinholes through the tape? There was nothing to prevent "suffocating" before I drilled holes?
You are drilling on the air hole which is used to breathe.
This is my second time refilling ink on my canon with this ink! Its awesome! I have a vinyl buisness and use a lot of ink to print on vinyl!! But my printer after second refill it still reads ink levels! I guess im lucky! But i do use a scale to weigh my ink! Cant waste a drop of liquid gold! Lol
You can turn off the ink monitoring after the counter rolls over the max.
I refilled the oem carts, but I don't know how to reset the carts so th ink levels show 100%, any advice ?
Thanks
Thank you, master. You have helped me a lot.
I KNOW THERE IF FOAM SPONGE INSIDE BUT COULD SOME OF THE PLASTIC BITS FROM DRILLING THE FILL HOLE GET INSIDE AND CLOG THE PRINT NOZZLE???
i heat up a syringe needle, have gas cooker, then burn a hole, ps, H&S, please do it outside, it stinks :)
lol the music and then you saying "knife and pair of gloves" i feel like i'm watching a tutorial of "how to kill someone" lmao
This is for all beginner's out here, these types of ink cartridges can only be refilled a few amount of time, after that, the ink cartridge print head will begin to fail and the correct color patterns will cease to function properly.
My advice, just buy new color ink cartridges if this issue begins.
Thanks for sharing. I'd only used my new printer twice and it says I'm low on ink. I hope I can get the printer to stop using the chips to tell my printer its out of ink, since that obviously has a malfunction and won't print anything otherwise.
What is your printer's model number?
The black refill worked for me. But not the color refill?
My color refill was a fail. Cyan and magenta print fine but yellow won't print at all.
I just tried drilling and filled it with ink. It is printing great! I'm unsure if the 7 pumps I gave it were enough. How can we tell? Is there a way to tell by eyeing the how much ink went out of the pump? Maybe count the lines on the pump? I didn't get pass the first one or even half of the first ridge.
Use a syingue to measure the ML.
I bought kit from different company......... instructions say to SLOWLY inject the ink and when it "slightly" begins to over-flow. STOP. Easy Peasy
How many mL for 245 and 246 please? Thanks
Where do u buy the ink
we can use artificial ink tank for canon 745 and 746 cartridge
the printer always says error when I try to print after refilling and doesn't want to print.. also it says ink is low even though it is full. You said to ignore but It doesn't show any option in my printer to ignore..It just won't print. I used the same ink refill you have.. thanks
Does the computer display and error code?
Excellent video!
Thank you so much! This helped me so much
when is it best to start refilling the cartridge 1/4 remaining ?
please What is the name of green liquid? 2--The printer comes out white paper what do I do?3-Black cartridge does not work with ink What do I do?
Green liquid is called "Cleaning Solution": www.bchtechnologies.com/accessories/anti-clog/triple-action-cleaning-solution-for-dye-pigment-sublimation-inks.html However, it is not magic and you can use hot water too. Here we have 5 different ways of unclogging your printer (yours is clogged): ruclips.net/video/1I8hQBjx_JQ/видео.html Watch that video and see if you can get the printer back.
when i refill mine, i have always weighed the cartage before i use it, wright it on cartage, weigh empty cartage, then weigh empty syringe fill with ink until right wight, just my way,
could you please tell me what are the three colors for the CL-241(color cartage)?
@@georgitasev4204 yellow, red and blue, ish, if you get a re-fill kit, they are the colours
@@crazycrab8578 Thanks
Could we only print in black without the color for Canon MG-3520? Same print as your video.
You can turn off the color cartridge's ink level indicator. However, your printer needs colors to print gray. Unless all your stuff is pure text, the print will look bad.
THAT WOULD BE IN YOUR SETTINGS WHEN YOU GET READY TO PRINT-EX: HOW MANY PAGES, PAPER SIZE.....
I have canon e477.I have refilled the both the cottages but the 47 PG black does not work after some prints..having very uneven and white line prints..when i replaced it with new one pg 47 black cartige it works fine..how to get that old one into work?
It is clogged. Very common. See this blog for the solution: www.bchtechnologies.com/blog/solved-black-and-color-print-head-clogged-not-printing-part-i-integrated-printhead
BCH Technologies..
I have also tried that...but no improvement seen...is there any maximum no of prints by one cartige.?.as i hv almost 500 pages printed with that one after 2 refill...and from 3rd refill I m facing the issue..
And when i replaced the 47 black cartige with new one it starts working absolutely fine..still cant find the issue....may be the cartige have encountered some electrical circuit failure.
It could be. I have a customer who had the problem on the first refill. However, most of my cartridges can be refilled 5 times if it is refilled this way, and 10-20 refills if I modify them into a spongeless cartridge. I am thinking about making another video to show people more extreme ways of unclogging it.
Have you tried using a priming clip? Email support@bchtechnologies.com and I can send you a free one.
Worked great. Thanks!
Do I put the syringe against the sponge on the inside??? Or do I just drip it in
Better drip in. Leave a gap and ink will be soaked in.
Does this also work with Canon Cartridges PG-240xl and CL241xl?
Yes.
Why printer is printing lines instead of proper print..?(pg745 cartridge)
It is a goooooood help. Thank for sharing
you have to turn a drill to make it cut...
6:20 hold down the STOP button for 10-15 seconds to remove the yellow light and message saying check black ink cartridge, then itll print a test page for you and will be ready to print again
Thank u 😊
Informative tip. May I offer a suggestion? You could have a second set of cartridges pre drilled to shorten the video. Like the cooking shows do with the pre cooked food. Or just edit out the lengthy drilling process .😉
Can cannon cartridge running after refilling again and again properly
It depends on how you refill it. Here is a test we ran: ruclips.net/video/AQnq0UjDz6o/видео.html
Thank you very much
Looks promising... I hope this works.
You don't need to drill if you have a small diameter syringe needle, I used the one in hospitals and it easily went through the tiny hole.
What if error message still says ink low and will not print?
Same! Did you figure it out?
@@challengersrios603 Yes I figured it out. Just hold down the stop/reset button for about 20 sec and it will print
thank you too shoot this video i was about to go crazy
They are called twist drills for a reason.
Awesome thank you
شكرا
Why drilling in it???? The given size of hole is enough to insert the needle
Oh, one more thing. When trying to reset that pesty low ink error code. What do you do when the stop button isnt solving the problem.? I've refilled many cartridges using this method. It always worked until I tried it on my Sisters Pixma which uses the same 245 cartridge as mine.
Refilled probably a thousand of these, never seen the STOP button not working. What is the symptom like?
I just realized that you are trying to reset low ink warning, rather than ink monitor. You can’t do it, period. You have to keep printing until you get to the end of ink monitor’s limit.
@@BCHTechnologies No, you were right the first time. I've never had the stop button not work either. that's the problem printer is telling me about low ink. I could care less about it trying to say the ink is low The problem is that the printer will not function "Period". Even after using the stop button trick, ignoring the low ink message , resetting , unplugging , no test page, nothing is working to just make it print. The lights are on but nobody's home" My Sisters printer filing it's nails "No, sorry. I don't like you anymore" We tell it that it's going to the trash, but it doesn't care. (I need a bigger hammer.)
@@normaray3901 If you print a page, what is the error message on your screen?
At about 5.5 minutes your logo covers up what you're doing. The Canon PG240XL is not listed. Presumably it contains more ink than the PG240. Can you use and electric drill instead of all that wallowing around?
Yes, 240 XL has more ink and you can use an electric drill.
Thanks
Great, thanks!
cant work printer still acts like its oit of ink. printer barley prints black then still stops printing black at all even though its full.
I bought the ink from you guys and refilled the cartridge re-inserted it but then the steady "Black" ink light just doesn't seem to go away...and still unable to print.
MG2922 printer/PG245 cartridge
Any suggestions?
Sorry to hear that. What do you mean "the stead Black"?
No Sorry.. Your ink shipped in time and I greatly appreciate you responding to the comment. Thank you
The earlier comment had a typo. I corrected it.
The Black ink low light was steady which is when i ordered the ink and It still doesn't seem to go away. Do I need to do something to reset it?
Thanks for the clarification. The lights work this way: when it is "low ink", no matter if you refilled it or not, it will be steady yellow. In the future, there will be a window pops up and say "ink depleted". Hold down the STOP button for 5 seconds and this window will go away. You can print forever afterward but the light will be flashing yellow. If you don't like the flashing, put an electric tape over it.
the ink depleted window does not pop up. when i double click the printer icon in the taskbar, It displays that the document's status is Printing and then goes to "Error-Printing" after a few seconds
Eureka Eureka! Looks like I was able to figure this out by trial and error... Hoping this helps someone with a similar kind of issue.
I had switched from the wireless mode to a USB connected mode a while back since I had changed the router password.
I double clicked the Printer icon in the taskbar> went into the properties>ports tab> changed the port to USB001 from a CNBJNP_XXXXXXXXXX (Canon BJ Network Port)
and viola the printer works like a charm!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thanks BCH Technologies as well for tagging along
Danke schön...
A lot easier to use a power drill with a 1/16" drill bit.
Ok, I have a question? My husband says there is a chip in the ink cartidges, that when you try to refill, basically the computer says: Haha, you no fool me, these are the same cartridges, and they're empty! Unless that's those warning signs you were talking about, that we can just ignore, and push the red circle\triangle button down for 10 seconds, until that warning goes away... ?? I really hope this works, because I am really tired of spending $18.00 a piece on my color/black ink!!! If it does work, I will come back to this video and leave a note. Thank you.
The universal rule: husband is always right. However, for the model listed here ( PG-240 CL-241 PG-240 CL-241 PG-245 CL-246 PG-243 CL-244), the refill works this way: The chip only goes one way: from full to empty, just like what your husband said. Then, the computer will display an error message "Error Code 1688: the following cartridge is depleted". Do not close this window. Instead, press and hold the stop button on your printer for 5 seconds which will 1) close the window and 2) disable the chip and 3) let you print happily ever after. You can not get this window before the computer shows the ink is depleted. So, if you put refilled cartridge in and the ink shows low, just start to use the cartridge and keep printing until you get to that error window. Now, it's time to buy him a beer for bringing this up.
YES BUY HUSBND A GOOD IMPORT BEER. HE BE VERY HAPPY!..bORIS
Like it great
my Canon mg2470 printer still showing ink refill
Dear Sir ji Nmaste mere pass Canon ka mg2577 pixma printer hai ji 15 days old hai
Cartridge refill bhi ker lai but print nhi ho Raha ji please help me sir ji please reply me as soon as possible
Thanks
Sorry, I don't get what the question is. Can you try Google Translate?
English asshol
Do I need to close the hole on top?
Not really. The cartridge needs air to breath. If you put a piece of tape on top to prevent dirt falling in, then poke a little hole so it won't be airtight. There are filters inside the cartridge to prevent dirt going into the printhead too.
BCH Technologies
Thanks!!!!!!!
And yes what if after filling, still don't work, how to reset system
Need to know what you mean “not working “
yeah never been a fan. Unless there is solution to the 'indicating' problem, I don't see this as practical.
Color side will not register
Now my iMac wont find my PixmaMG3020! Very frustrating. Otherwise, I know this ink to be great, and colourfast, but kinda iuseless if your printer wont work after installing ink yourself. :(
It shouldn't be caused by refilling the cartridge. Try to restart everything and see if it works.
