The Smart Resetter for Canon will reset the "smart chip" on the popular Canon CLI-8 and Canon PGI-5 cartridges. Reset printer cartridge chips to factory specifications, showing full ink levels and providing the same number of cycles as when the Canon inkjet cartridge was new. Just place the cartridge on the resetter and wait 4 seconds!
Why use the Canon Resetter:
Canon CLI8 and PGI5 inkjet cartridges with "smart chips" send a signal to the printer when empty, and the printer won't recognize the refilled cartridge as it "remembers" it as empty. The resetter will "reset" the Canon chips to "full" specs.
Alternatives to the Canon Resetter:
-
Compatible Chips: Another method to overcome the "out of ink" signal that is sent to the printer due to a spent inkjet cartridge is to replace the chip. Compatible chips are available on request.
