Canon CLI-221 Resetter - Go Green & Save 90% on ink!

If you have recently purchased one of these Canon Pixma Printers:

IP3600   IP4600   IP4700   MP560   MP610  MP620  MP630   MP640  MP980   MP990   MP988  MX860

You will find that Canon has reduced the size of the ink cartridges by about 1/3 compared to the cli-8 /pgi-5 cartridges, and they're still charging between $12.83 (Costco) and $14.69 (Staples) That means for a set of five cartridges, which contain approximately 63ml of ink all together, you are paying between $64.15 and $73.45!

You can buy a complete refill kit from us which includes: A chip resetter, a set of trays that will steady and seal your ink cartridges plus 550 ml of award winning premium wide gamut ink in clean-hands bottles for $95 including priority mail shipping, that gives you just under 5 refills for your pgi-220, and over 10 refills for each of your cli-221 cartridges, that is equal to 5 full sets of cartridges (averaged value $344) PLUS an additional 5 Color 4-packs (value $275.20) for a total savings of $550.40.

Then when you are ready to purchase more ink, you can buy the 5 pack (cli-221 cyan, black, magenta, yellow & pgi-220) for $55.50 including priority mail shipping. Or buy a bottle at a time for  $9.05 (cli-221 inks) or $10.79 (pgi-220 ink)

This is a  savings of $563.70 over the Canon cartridges, and the ink quality is superb. We have many happy photographers using our ink.

Finally we have a way to reset Canon CLI-221 & PGI-220 chips. The resetters are now in stock and they work exactly like our cli-8 and pgi-5 resetters. They have the same look, same removable base and CR2032 Lithium battery and are dependable.

And the price is great. We've listed them for $32 on Ebay and Ecrater with first class shipping to any US address.

6) Reset with Chip Extenders, and compatible cartridges

What are Chip Extenders?

Are they available for Canon Cli-8 & Pgi-5 Chips?

The answer is: YES!

The chip extenders are specially designed slips for Canon cli-8 & pgi-5 chips, which stay in the printer instead of on the ink cartridge. Now you can use cheap chip-free compatible ink cartridges.

Not only will you save money by using compatible chip-free ink cartridges, but you will never have to handle, peel, glue, or damage a Canon chip again. This is one of the safest solution for cli-8 & pgi-5 ink chips

Here are pictures of the RKS chip extenders, and how to use them.

Though all the Canon Pixma models that use the cli-8 and pgi-5 ink chips can use these (see models below) I only recommend you use them in printers that open 90% or wider, so you can see the print head and where you will place the extenders.

We have an MX850 and a ip4300. The MX850, like all the other multi-function printers Canon makes, does not open wide enough for me to get my head close enough to get those extenders in place.

But the ip4300 is a snap - easy as pie. So consider this before buying the extenders.

If you have any ip model on the list, no problem, if you have the Pro 9000, no problem.

If you have one of the MX or MP units, consider using auto reset chips in combination with refillable cartridges. I have also found yet another solution for you, but it is not yet available in the USA.

The RKS Chip Extenders normally come six to a package. But at inkjetreset.com, you can get these chips in the right number for your printer.

These little blue extenders are easy to use. Once in place, you never have to handle that chip again.

Original Canon chips have limitless reset capabilities.

RKS EXTENDERS are compatible with these Canon Pixma Models:

iP3000, iP3500, iP4200, iP4300, iP4500, iP5000, iP5200, iP5200R, iP5300, iP6600, iP6600D, iP6700, iP6700D, iX4000, iX5000, Pro9000

Compatible but not recommended for these models: MP500, MP510, MP520, MP530, MP600, MP600 R, MP610, MP800, MP800R, MP810, MP830, MP950, MP970, MX700, MX850
