Canon Pro-100 "Out of Ink" When Cartridge is Half Full
Sep 16, 2016 17:30:37 #
I've had my Canon Pro-100 for a few years. It now will tell me that a cartridge is low and then empty. Visual inspection shows the tank is still half full of ink.
Other than replacing the cartridge, is there a way to "reset" the problem tank?
Thanks.

They do look half full when they register as empty. I think they're either designed to only use 1/2 of the ink or they just look that way. Annoying, isn't it.

Yours too! Normally I continue printing when I get the "Low" warning. Then I change it when I get the "Empty" warning. Usually the liquid half of the tank is empty and the cotton filled part still has a little ink. This time, "Empty" had the liquid part half full. They do look half full when they register as empty.

I'll call Canon about my other question and ask this one too. It will be a few days as I'm off on a photo shooting trip.

You could try a chip resetter that the people who refill their tanks use. Just google " canon pro 100 chip resetter".
