How to remove PGI-1500 PGI-2500 cartridges from Canon Maxify printer

[@electradedoussi1145]

Excellent Video with very helpful info! Thank you very much! It helped me save time and money, because i opened on my own manually my Canon Maxify Printer, removed manually the Black Ink Cartridge, cleaned it and replaced it back to its position, improving perfectly the printing quality, without having to visit the repair service center. Once more, may thanks for this great technical support video!

I WANNA CRY! I wanna, but I can't! Still, I'm more than GLAD to find this video! This printer sits on my desk and I'm not able to print and not able to exchange. I wanted to do it manually, but I made about 21 years ago a HP Printer damaged, by move the head manually, I didn't wanted to risk this anymore in my life. The printer BEEN powerless, when this damage happen. THX, THX, THX! Well, I didn't made that, but on the video looks clear. In the comments section I already catched other Thx from other KZbinrs so best hope. The most bad feeling provided from the fact, that I even bought original cartidges and wasn't able to exchange the cheap ones, they are dry, cannot print, so they will be never empty...

Making You cry is one of the last things we had in our mind when setting up this vid. Thanks for sharing Your experience...

The video really saves my life! I have been struggling with third party ink because I forgot to remove the thin film covering a hole, the printing quality is really low with a lot of blanks and lines. I had to do deep clean all the time to consume the inks before I can change them (and at the end the black ink is of question mark when it is almost empty), which indeed is a nightmare. Now I tried your way and it works so smoothly! Still I don't understand why Canon doesn't allow us to change the ink in middle - really strage

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback! The answer from Canon is that it is not necessary for a customer to take out a cartridge from the printer before it has been messaged as empty - 😶 - we do not agree...

Hey, you saved me from taking my print to repair. Thanks a lot!

Hello Nailry, thanks a lot for Your nice feedback!

Thank You very much for Your positive feedback! We are happy to hear beeing able to help You :)

Thanks so much for your help. I have had streaks & missed lines from prints for the past months. All I could do is to deep clean before printing. Finally, I can change the black XL cartridge without the prompt. Thanks again.

[@octopusoffice]

Awesome feedback! Thanks for sharing Your experience...

[@buwnkle5011]

Great video. Do you have a video showing how to fix the blue lever that takes out the ink cartridges?

[@octopusoffice]

Hello, thanks for coming back to us about our tutorial. What do You mean by fixing the blue lever? Is it damaged on Your printer? Hard for us to judge Your situation from that far away 🙂

[@bugpipable]

THANK YOU SO MUCH BRO 😭😭😭

[@octopusoffice]

Thanks for the feedback! You are welcome - happy to help!

Can you do a video that is showing how to refill a refillable cartridge if the ink is already low for MB series thanks. Or just tell me what is the procedure, i am using refillable cartridge same in the video but im worried how should i refill it if the ink is already low

[@octopusoffice]

Hello Oilegor, thanks for Your question. At the moment we are not selling the refillables PGI2500 (status March 18th 2021). But actually the fill port should be accessible when opening the front cover on the printer - just fill up ink without taking the cartridge out of the printer - should be possible.

[@easternise]

@@octopusoffice when will you be selling PGI-2500 auto reset refillable cartridges?

[@shiguo]

Hi, will it matter if the printer is connected to the internet or not?

[@octopusoffice]

Thanks for Your question. No, it does not have an any impact when the printer is connected to the internet.

[@ulissesbaida9020]

When I refill a cartridge that has been taken out, should I put a tape on the place where the ink comes out to the printer?

[@octopusoffice]

You can do so to prevent that ink is dripping out of the cartridge when setting the cartridge back into the printer. I assume that is You intention, right? Pay attention to that the tape covering the ink outlet is punctured properly by the thorn inside the print head compartment when setting the cartridge back into the printer. This is necessary that the ink flow out of the cartridge is not disturbed.

[@ulissesbaida9020]

Great! You're awesome. Thank you so much!

Can you help? - my MB2755 printer has stopped working and the printer head is 'stuck' on the right hand side and the 'error light' on. The machine will not switch on at all - and therefore the printer cartridges cannot be moved. Is it possible to move the printer head manually? - without the machine being switched on? I have tried 'hard resetting many times' but it does not work ..... I need to remove the cartridges - but how do I move the printer head manually to be able to change them? This has happened before but last time the machine was able to be switched on.

[@octopusoffice]

Hello Mimi, thanks for contacting us about Your situation. Does the machine give any error code beside the error light?

[@mimisweets8050]

@@octopusoffice No, the machine won't even turn on correctly .... When I plug the machine in (again), at first only the error light is on fully and then if I press the 'on' button, it lights up (but nothing else happens). And the screen is dead. I have managed to unscrew the side part of the machine and manual remove 2 cartridges but the 2 'inner' cartridges are still stuck inside. Any further ideas?

[@mimisweets8050]

I really appreciate your help and any ideas very gratefully received! :) Thank you.

[@chrisbyrne5419]

Do you have to remove ALL the cartridges or is it possible just to remove the defective/empty one and then follow your procedure?

[@octopusoffice]

Hello Chris, with our suggested method just one cartridge or any number of cartridges that You have in mind to take out. It is not compulsory to remove them all.

[@al-hamiratradingcontractin6364]

Hello ! my printer Maxify MB2140 showed level of ink finished of Black & Cyan cartridge, I took it out and brought new and installed. I started to print but again showed cross sign of Magenta cartridge and says the ink may have run out. Help me !!

[@octopusoffice]

Thanks for the question. Do we understand correctly that you have changed the Black and the Cyan cartridge but not the Magenta, right?

[@chershag9063]

Thank You!!!

[@octopusoffice]

Hello Cher - thank You too for taking the time providing this positive feeedback 😊

[@1servadio]

after removal, the new cartridge does not stay in its place. So everything was useless and now the printer does not work

[@octopusoffice]

We are sorry to read that You experience difficulties after following our instructions. Please check if You have bent the hook that holds the cartridges in place - there is a chance that You can pry it back into its original position - the whole procedure has to be done very carefully.
