What is a demo print cartridge?Is it true that the demo cartriges hold only 30% of ink compared to real ones?

My Lexmark came with what are equivalent to demo cartridges... but they also sell them to people who don't understand what c**p they are. About 1/3 of the ink, about 2/3 of the price for what Lexmark call a moderate usage cart. Or in reality at 30 pages, a very low yield cart.





I've had an HP printer that came with low capacity carts as 'demo'... I guess it's their way of making sure that when you find a set of carts cost more than your printer did in the first place that you don't just go out and buy a new printer instead of a set of carts.What is a demo print cartridge?Is it true that the demo cartriges hold only 30% of ink compared to real ones?
yeah! The Demo cartridges will have only very less amount ink.


In certain printers like HP Photosmart 8250, D7160, D7360 has a fixed cartridge carriers, which do not move with print head. Here, the ink is transformed thru tubes. In order to make the tube to flow the ink gently, a demo cartridge, which has high concentrated ink will be passed at the very first time usage. these cartridge are also called Industry cartridges or Host cartridges. Since, they initialize the printer, they can be used for only 10 pages.What is a demo print cartridge?Is it true that the demo cartriges hold only 30% of ink compared to real ones?
YES lexmark is famous for this They only fill them half full!! a #17 ink is a starter and a #16 is a full. That is what all printers come with these days and it is how they make the printers so cheap to sell. To buy the ink will be like $100 when the printer costed around $40

I don't have a 5 bk ink cartridge for my printer, can I print without it?

I have a canon mp530. I bought a package of 4 ink cartridges, black, yellow, magenta and cyan, but I forgot that there's a space for a second black ink cartridge. The printer needs 8bk and 5bk. Why are there two black ink cartridges? More importantly, can I still get it to print without the second cartridge?I don't have a 5 bk ink cartridge for my printer, can I print without it?
Yes it should print for you in black...if it doesn't select a dark colored font like dark blue for your text. Reason for two black cartridges...printer companies have to let consumers know the ISO Page Yields...meaning they have to list how many pages each ink cartridge can print. So you have your regular black for printing text and the other black is used for photo pigmentation and graphics. Bottom line it will last longer and print more copies of anything...then it would with just one cartridge.

Anybody familiar with printers? Can I modify the cartridge to print out metallic ink...?

I have a very, very fine metallic gold powder, and if I were to make gold letters, could I somehow mix it in with yellow paint, I would be able to make gold ink. Is this possible?Anybody familiar with printers? Can I modify the cartridge to print out metallic ink...?
Personally, I wouldn't. Unless you're prepared to go and buy a new printer if it goes wrong.


If you don't mind forking out, try it!


It'll probably block the print nozzle though.





Additional comment:





Yeah, I guessed you meant Ink when you said Paint, don't worry!


I still think it'll block the print nozzle, maybe not at first, but probably will in the end.


If you fancy it, go for it - but be prepared to get a new printer if it does go wrong!


(You'll be making the Ink in the cartridge thicker by adding powder to it, no matter how fine....mark my words!)Anybody familiar with printers? Can I modify the cartridge to print out metallic ink...?
I think there is little possibility of that working and it would most likely ruin your printer. What you need to do is to go to a printing company and they can print gold print and even raised print.
You can not mix dry powder with ink and have it work. There is two different types of printers, those that uses ink and those that use toner, (which is a dry powder).


Event if you were successful in opening up the ink cartridge and putting your concoction in it. Getting it back together, were it wouldn't leak is another thing. Also EVENT if the printer recognized it and let you print, it would probably destroy the printer the first time you printed

My printer will not print blue - it recognizes the ink cartridge but prints in pink every time i ask for blue?

any ideas?My printer will not print blue - it recognizes the ink cartridge but prints in pink every time i ask for blue?
It sounds like you may have a clog. Try running a print head cleaning a couple of times -- that should fix the problem. If it doesn't you may need to swab the cartridge and contacts in the printer with some alcohol to remove dried ink. And lastly, if it's still not printing, you may have a defective cartridge.My printer will not print blue - it recognizes the ink cartridge but prints in pink every time i ask for blue?
yuo probally dont have any blue left

CANON PIXMA MP500 PRINT CARTRIDGE CHIPS?

Hi there


I have just refilled my black ink cartridge but the printer will still not print.is there any way of telling the chip that the cartridge is full


Thanks for any suggestionsCANON PIXMA MP500 PRINT CARTRIDGE CHIPS?
As person above said you need chip re-setter. I have one for my MP610 and its saved me a fortune. Mine was just 拢20 which I consider cheaper as now I can refill a cartridge for 39p instead of paying 拢12+ for one. The re-setter pays for itself in no time at all.





I also source ink that is such a good match the printer works as new. They are just 拢4 for 100ml of each colour. The universal kits are about 拢9 for the same amount but as they are universal then they are not a very good colour match to original. In case your interest the site in the link is where I get the ink from. They have been very reliable with me.

Don't buy photo ink by mistake as I once did that and unless your printer usually takes it as it's a lighter colour ink it gives rubbish results. The regular ink I love. It's also where I bough my chip re-setter from.CANON PIXMA MP500 PRINT CARTRIDGE CHIPS?
