Hey Kevin! Just wanted to thank you bro! For the very useful and accurate instructions. Specially, this one: "Do NOT give up too early...!" I've got a TS3440 PIXMA which has PG-440 & CL-445 cartridges. And I used to refill them with insulin syringes, without no trouble. But, after awhile the black cartridge stop printing even after refilling (I did not used to prime the cartridges at that time nor was aware of its necessity!) So I've end up breaking open the cartridge lid and removing the sponge trying to make an sponge less one, after seeing the near dry and almost white sponge in there. However failed to airproof the lid, everything was fine except for the ink flow to bottom plate. So I had to remove the lid again, though it was very hard this time- I had to sink the cartridge in acetone for several hours, trying to place back the sponge, fixing the gaps & ... After all, the most valuable tip of you which I kept in mind was "Do NOT give up too early, show your printer who is the boss!" Thank you brother, thank you very much!

Thank you for this WORKAROUND! I do not print often, I end up with the cheapest printer only to find the cartridges are so ridiculously small and pricey....

Which ink will not smear if highlighted with a highlighter? That's my issue with allot of inks.

This is available for canon ts6370

[@mircobandini]

why using dye ink for both black cartridges will make the printer last longer? Thank you

[@johnmcvey842]

It is probably that pigment ink is slightly more abrasive to the print head nozzles, so they wear out sooner. You'll note that a 280/281 cartridge is really just an ink "tank" and does not contain the delicate print head itself. When the print head wears out it needs to be replaced in a more costly and difficult procedure.

Our 3 year old Canon 930 series gave up last week. I had just bought and changed 3 of the cartridges. Because we had several new 280 series ink cartridges sitting in a drawer we bought a Canon 7620 series so we could use the used and new cartridges we already purchased. I installed the used but nearly full cartridges into the 7620 and there was no recognition whatsoever. No light, nothing on display. I then installed the cartridges which came with the machine and each time i installed a cartridge, there was a single beep and the cartridges were recognized. After setup and running a few prints, I tries to reinstall the used but full oem cartridges. No beep, no recognition and screen showing no cartridge installed. Any way to get the printer to recognize oem, near full never refilled cartridges?

Usually, if you unplug the printer for a few minutes.... up to 15 minutes, the printer resets things. Also, you may from time to time want to use a Q-Tip soaked in denatured alcohol to clean those contacts, unplugged printer, especially if you are a smoker or have smokers (of anything... cigs, pipes, cigars, or "Mary Jane") in the house. Do the same with the chip side of the cartridge. Smoking gums up electronic connections, printers and phones included.

If you can just pour the ink into the sponge, why bother with the drills and syringes?

[@zoezebra4013]

dripping the ink only saturates the sponge chamber. with the hole and syringe you will fill out also the other ink reservoir so the cartridge will hold much more ink

[@Muxik4k]

That is sponge refill, not cartridge
