Ink for Canon IP4200

[flash49]

I have the new 3rd party cartridge from G&G. It has instructs on how to remove the chip from oem cart and place on new G&G cartridge. Haven't done it yet but will i have same problem as refilling? Only going to try the text ink for now. Got it for $4.95, thought I'd try it maybe.

Flash49: Not quite sure how this works exactly as I haven't tried it yet either, but suspect you will still have no ink level monitor - the 4200 will just recognise the cartridge and will allow printing as normal. Let's know what you find. I'm about to flog my 4200 as I captured a demonstrator iP4000 on eBay a couple of weeks ago, and am quite happy with it. I can refill to my hearts content. Think Canon called it wrongly this time, especially with the incredible prices of their ink here in UK. I can actually buy a brand new iP4200 complete with a full set of ink carts (£50 worth) with 12 months warranty for about £60! How stupid is that? I'd much rather pay £250 or so for the printer and have the carts available at about £1.50/cart, and they would still make money. I bought a full set of 5 carts for the 4000 last week from the Channel Islands for about £5 (incl S&H) . No contest.

Dhlucke,

I do not know your location. All my information is for the U.S. suppliers. If you are in North America you should be able to get this. I know they ship out of state, I just don't know the charges.

I have not tried all sites, but have find a some what reasonable source of cartridges. (newegg.com) You can get the 4 small cartriges in a pack for less than $40 and a twin pack of the PGI-5 for $25. Ordering multiples of each will defray the shipping cost to about $1.00 or less per cartridge. These guys are pretty good and show customer product reviews.

Hi,

I'm a little late in the game, but could someone tell me how to actually disable the ink level monitor on a canon ip4200? some smart guy in our house got the cartridges refilled without realising that it was canon sin and now the flashing red light/still red light doesn't change no matter what you do. Thanks much
