No.1 Detailed Guide to Refill Canon PG-275 CL-276, PG-275XL & CL-276XL

I am an HP Designjet tech. This guy knows his stuff. Great video.

[@joanc551]

Brilliant-this is my third time refilling with zero issues thanks to you

[@MrF1XxItt]

I got a kick out of your toothpick/hygiene joke... 😅 You're introduction, the step by steps, the constant reminding to be careful of certain things, your attention to detail and your narrative voice does an incredible job in your instructional class. Why do I get the feeling you're a physics teacher?? Lol!! Great job and thank you again 😊

[@kendramanuel968]

I’ve watched this several times as it’s the most clear for my understanding. Thx so much

[@TheKweenOfKings]

i searched for 5 weeks to find a video for this series printer and took a chance a bought some ink on amazon and followed i think one of your videos for i think 245/246 cartridge and it works so far i wish i had this video a month and a half ago.

[@BCHTechnologies]

Thanks!

[@TheKweenOfKings]

@@BCHTechnologies so I went on and got an Excel and IT ruined something happened where it would not print out the yellow properly but anyways I just went on the bch Technologies website and notice that the ink cartridge has now included 276 and I wanted to know and then I came to your page to see if there has been any update videos which it hasn't that would include the 276-275 ink cartridges I wanted to know if it was real or not because I wanted to use that printer cuz I still like that printer just the ink too expensive

[@nomad4k]

You are a life saver ! Subscribed ! I spent $1800 on INK in the last 1 year using this printer. I was thinking about buying a Lasetjet printer instead to save on ink. But this has made printing very cheap for me.

[@iampeaches1924]

Right my old school pixma cartridges were sooooo cheap & lasted for so long. This new one goes thru ink so quickly & isn’t as sturdy. His video saved me hundreds

[@KantusKid]

Excellent video! Thank you! I've found the hand drill too weak to pierce the hard plastic. Take a small drill bit, power drill. Used the lowest torque setting and you can get it open in seconds.

[@BCHTechnologies]

Great tips!

[@Latin25Dancer]

If you have the newer TR 4720, you will have to hold the Stop button down much longer than this model printer. It also doesn't exactly click, but it does allow you to continue using refilled cartridges and cut your printing costs down by 1/4th.

[@BCHTechnologies]

Thanks for sharing!

[@ofeliazuniga68]

how much longer?

[@richardsharp6818]

Very good video and helped me a lot. The one thing he didn't mention was how tough the plastic is to get through in the first place. The 'tool' i was given didn't touch it. I realised I only needed a hole for the syringe to get through. The instructions I received with my kit said to enlarge the airhole. I managed this with a map pin and micro screwdriver. That made life a lot easier. I also replaced the labels instead of tape, worked from new so should be OK.

[@tashamarie8877]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! Im so aggrevated with my printer saying im out of ink yet i out my cartridge in another printer and its still almost full. at least now i can add a bit of ink and be uo and goong again in no time. I so appreciated your guidance and easy to follow directions-even a moron like me could follow along. Thank you for the additional information as well.

[@mariosanders4315]

This is my 2nd time refilling my black and color thanks to your easy to follow video💯

[@BowLegsProductions]

Followed the instructions and worked perfectly. My "special moment" never did appear, but I'll continue to look out for it. Thanks so much!!!! Also, I ordered from Amazon the exact same refill kit that you used.

[@BCHTechnologies]

You are welcome! Don’t forget to share the special moment with friends and family!

Thank you so much and you are saving us all 100.00s of dollars❤

[@suemarie6032]

WOW, great presentation. You covered all the bases. I have been looking at different models and brands and some have been found to have a hard time finding ink for them. I am not a fan of off-brand ink replacement cartridges but this seems ideal. This is actually the model I'm planning to buy as it's on sale this week. May I ask the pros and cons? Also, how long do the refill inks last if not used frequently?

[@BCHTechnologies]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I'm glad you enjoyed the presentation - I try to cover everything to make the decision process easier. You're right, finding ink for certain models can be a hassle, and sticking with trusted brands really helps avoid potential issues. As for the model you're considering, it’s a solid choice, especially if it's on sale! One of the biggest pros is the availability of refill inks, which are easy to find and cost-effective over time. The print quality is excellent, and it’s designed to handle both everyday printing and more detailed projects. On the downside, like many inkjet models, if it’s not used frequently, the ink can dry out or clog. However, if you run a nozzle check or small print every couple of weeks, it helps keep things flowing smoothly. Let me know if you need more details or if you end up going for it - happy to help with tips on refilling and maintenance!

[@suemarie6032]

@@BCHTechnologies Thank you for the reply and info. I don't know if it's the time of year (Xmas sales) or what, but I was looking at 1/2 dozen models and the prices kept changing and not by a few bucks. I narrowed it down to 3 Canons because reviews from trusted sites always seemed to show they were superior to others in my price range. In fact, the model I have now is a Canon Pixma MG120 and probably 15 yrs old. I ended up ordering a Pixma TR7620a with a few more bells and whistles at a great price. It has individual colour cartridges which I think will be better in the long run. I made sure they can be refilled as well. I know we have to print something frequently to keep the ink flowing. My question about re long does the ink last was about the ones in the refill kits. Does the ink stay good as long as they are bottled?

[@autovale3595]

Nice easy explanation, thank you. I recently bought a TR4700 because I need to fax every week. As soon as the "black ink getting low" message came on, it would no longer print the fax confirmation. I'm hoping this will clear up as soon as the "out of ink" reset takes place. Thanks again.

[@deresaboyd1161]

This is amazing, so glad I find this going to try this before I go buy news ones

[@maurobenavides2944]

What size drill bit did you use ? Thanks for the info!!

[@nomad4k]

If you buy their kit, it comes with the hand drill. Or you can use a 1/8 inch drill bit.

[@pevelyhomeowner327]

Kevin, thank you very much. When my current ink runs out I’ll be ordering from you next.

[@HUNGLE-un7su]

Hi Kevin , I just refill ink on my black cartridge pg 275 , the ink level on computer and cell phone is still show low ink ,it's ok when you just forget that ? just put papers and print when need , or printer will stop after out of ink ? please tell me one more time about how to reset the ink level ? I am still confuse ? thank you very much , very appreciate . Please reply and tell me what to do , thank you very much .

[@robertroland529]

Is there a way to set the cartridge without getting the code E04?

[@talhasaleem]

You are a king!! PG445XL and PL446XL I’m going to do try your method when ink runs out. Will the method work with my cartridges? And will bigger holes affect printing? I gave my cartridges to repair guy who added ink without opening cartridge and without increasing hole size. Any ideas on how he did it? I’m blown away by his technique which he is not telling me. There are no signs of opening cartridge or increasing air hole.

[@kathylynnneeley5059]

Hello this my first time refilling ink cartridges. Do you have to have the color filled as well?

[@sherryn39455]

Well, it worked but I can’t get the printer working in it still showing the error. Can’t get it off and it’s a TS 3522. Do you know how to get it off so where it will work thank you.

[@alyonacunningham9718]

thank you/ You helped me save my money / works. the new ones cost 30 dollars, and the paints cost 20 dollars

[@JasonRobinette]

You said that on the black XL, you don't want to drill on the air hole... so where DO you drill? :)

[@michaelmaharlika8569]

So very helpful and thank you very much for turning off the counter...

[@johnchen9930]

On the black PG-275 cartridge, do you just drill one cell and it will fill the entire box, or you need to drill ALL cells then fill each one individually ? Thanks in advance. 🤔🙂😉

[@vojtac7623]

To prime run deep cleaning. Waste ink pump is going to suck air from nozzles, when printer is doing wery loud sound is runing waste pump to prime (about 1 sec.)

Hi, excellent video. However, i have a TR4700 Canon series and I refilled the cartridges BEFORE they depleted and now nothing prints. I can not get rid of the "low ink" message. Followed your suggestion to hold down the "triangle" or "Stop" button for a few seconds and nothing. Held the button down for a minute and nothing. Any other suggestions?

[@MiaTaylor-x5e]

Great video very easy to understand. Thank you .

[@rvazquez8175]

I still have the starter cartridge I haven’t bought any because they’re ALWAYS out of stock so my question is does the starter ink holds less than the one you buy after using those?

The new 275 Fine cartridges have no indent to make a hole for the needle to go in and dispense ink, they have designed it in such a way that there are all small troughs and no indent to make a hole and dispense ink.

[@nayelisotelo9292]

I have the MG2522 printer & it says both ink are low . Both ink lights just stay on no blinking. I tried doing what u say in the video but it does nothing. It also prints nothing. What can I do😭

[@BritRose188]

I did exactly the same thing for refilling cartridges. The color works but the the black ink says 304 it reads no cartridge detected and will not print. How to get rid of the code 304

[@ScurvyRelics]

awesome video just ordered some ink hopefully the vacuum method works well for me!

[@devorlast]

If youre capable of gentle touch you can just use a drill with a small bit, most drill sets come with one the size of that manual torture device that the kit has. On slow to medium speed it takes a whopping 10 seconds to drill each hole. Besides that, "burping" the black cartridge was the hardest, I have the rubber insert and the stand but getting the air seal had me pushing down really hard while using the syringe at the same time. Works now, I think the kit I bought was some $20 and came with those huge ink bottles that will last me longer than the printer.

[@amandasowards3322]

Fantastic directions here!!😊

[@Widukin666]

If the cartridges don't print a color, do several Deep Cleaning. It solved my problem.

[@Caramel404]

Thank you so much! Your video really saved the day!

[@so70aeiou]

Can I use an powered drill to make the holes in the cartridge ? Or is there a reason to do it by hand

[@ritualmid]

you can but its a bit more unsafe

[@Indigodream0]

I have a miniature rotary tool with tiny drill bits. I used it at a relatively low speed so I wouldn't accidentally drill to far.

[@ritualmid]

@@Indigodream0 I just took off the cap on it and it's way better like rhat

[@Indigodream0]

@@ritualmid I'll do that next time. Anything I should know before prying then off?

[@ritualmid]

Wear gloves before opening them because you'll probably get ink on your hands. Pry close to the edge where there is a gap and and once its off it will 3-4ml of ink if its black ink. after your done just put some duct tape over and tape it so it wont open by itself @@Indigodream0

Hey can you help me your video helped I have the Canon TS 3522 however the ink refill worked a couple times but now it's printing blanks after I refilled it last night any tips on how to fix this please reply ASAP thank you please note I clicked the reset button held at 3 seconds and I also held down the stop button turn the printer on and off and I also held the printer cartridge against a paper to see if any ink is coming out and the part on the cartridge that looks like a film strip yeah I pressed that against a tissue paper to see if any ink comes out and the ink lines black and the color comes out fine so I don't know why it's not printing help me out please thank you

The toothpicks have nothing to do with personal hygiene at all they are to be used to check the different colours in the cartridge.

[@BCHTechnologies]

It’s the same kit.

[@ctzpsycho8]

What size of drill bit did you use?

[@lobergho]

Use a bit that will allow the syringe needle to be inserted

[@ngantran6013]

I just bought a refill pack from your company. But wonder if you have a large size refill bottle for black ink? (I just use alot of black ink)

Yes, we have 500ml bottles

Very good instructions - Thank You!

[@chrisvolk106]

I ran my Canon 2522 cartridges out before refill and now the printer won't recognize the cartridges. Didn't know any better. If I refill a cartridge before it runs empty, I should be ok right? These printers are a scam!

[@Indigodream0]

Thank you so much for this video. Canon charges entirely too much for their cartridges. Generic prices aren't that much better. I thought I'd let you know II bypassed the "magic moment". I don't need to count the pages I've printed. Here's what I did. *I DON'T use a wireless connection. I don't know if that's important or not. I also don't know for sure which of these things bypassed the need to reset the page count. *** This is probably the most important part*** I turned off the printer and disconnected it from the PC. No information can be collected and stored on my PC to send to Canon. They don't know what I'm doing. - I turned the printer back on to access the cartridges - Put in the cartridge I just refilled. - *BEFORE* printing, checking anything, aligning cartridges, ANYTHING AT ALL ... I turned my printer off again. - I turned it back on. I wasn't getting a message that I'm low on ink -- Still not connected to my PC and still no access to the internet, I copied and printed something random. - After connecting to my PC the printer had access to the internet. I printed a document. No message about low ink. - I don't have to keep tabs on how many pages I've printed. Canon, as well as most printer manufacturers collect information about your use of the printer. It's in the "Terms and Conditions" most people don't read when they install the printer software. I opted out. That might have something to do with the results I got. I also have a lot of other security measures in place to prevent companies from collecting information about me or my system, or finger printing. Some of my apps are blocked from accessing the internet at all. Canon is blocked.

DO NOT LEAVE THE DRILL HOLE OPEN! This will cause the ink to drain out of the cartridge into the bottom of your printer requiring you to refill your cartridge every time you use your printer. For a detailed guide, I wish he spent less time yammering on about nothing and more time on what color goes where and the amounts.
