Save money after cracking the printer & reman printer cartridge

There are always complaining voices that while using remanufactured cartridges, the printer sometimes gives wrong warning of ink volume and then the party involved gets worried and irritated. But the thing is nothing goes wrong and all the more there is no need to worry at all.
Here goes the truth to clear up the misunderstanding and teach a way to save money, instead of throwing away the printer & reman cartridges.
The remanufactured inkjet cartridges boast sufficient ink. After installation, the printer will read off the original cartridge memory and display a yellow “ [FONT=宋]！[/FONT]”, message of “ low ink volume”, or instructions to change cartridges( cartridge status light may also be turned on,).This is NOT a defect of the cartridges and will have no impact on the normal use of the printer and the cartridges. Just ignore the warnings and continue with your printing.
When the light on the printer control panel start to flash, or the system instructions to change cartridge or to press OK to continue the printing, there is No need to change the cartridges.
Press the OK button on the panel for at least 3 seconds until the lights stop flashing. The printer will close the ink volume monitoring and start to function normally. The printer will NOT be damaged by this operation.
During the course of printing, the cartridge s will actually run out of ink when the printout starts to show lack of color, or fuzzy and other signs. You can then change to new cartridges and the printer will restore to the default setting automatically.

Does this apply universally to all printers, or just yours?That gum you like is coming back in style.0

It depends on the make of printer. Also if the printhead is not built into the cartridge (ie the cartridge is just an ink vessel feeding the printhead which is in the printer) running the ink out like that can cook the printhead to death. New Canon ones are upwards of £40. Therefore this advice is dependant on which printer you have and therefore to be treated with cautionIf I had a pound for every pound I'd lost, I'd be confused0

Oaren, do you think you could adjust the size of the print in your postings? I find them hard to read.0
