Do you have to wait until the printer says it's out of ink before you try to bypass the warnings? I have a TS705a and I refilled my cartridges when they had the "x" warning but the only dialogue the printer displayed was that it recognised a genuine used Canon ink cartridge which only asked you to press 'Ok'. Holding down the stop button for any length of time didn't remove the low-ink warnings. The printer did start making noises some time after 10-seconds, so hopefully it will keep printing but the warnings are still shown like C @ 5:36 not like Y.
Thanks for contacting us about the pgi580 cli581 refill tutorial. To receive the option to deactivate the ink level detection the cartridge must have the ink depleted status. Then the printer should offer the opportunity to switch of ink level detection. Refilling before the ink is depleted is actually no problem - You going to receive that status anyway as the printer calculates the ink inside the cartridge based on the information on the chip and does not measure the physical ink.
Hello, thanks for Your comment. Your TS8260 is an Australian printer model, right? It runs with PGI680 and CLI681 cartridges - these are the local codes for Your area - but Yes the tutorial also works for Your machine and its cartridges 👍
Thanks for Your question - at the moment (status March 9th 2021) there is no suitable chip resetter available for PGI580 and CLI581 chips 😐 so far no reset possible
Not working for my TR8550. It recognizes the cartige as original, so it doesn't pop up the message to disable the ink levels. Any tricks that I can use?
Hello Nicole, thanks for Your question. Can You start a print job? Just send a print job to the printer and see if it starts working - just make sure that there is sufficient ink available inside the cartridge physically.
Hi, I use your pure ink refills and I always get issues with photos fading. The photos are not exposed to direct sunlight and I do use top quality photo paper. I have a canon printer TS8350. The inks are over 2 years old but this problem has always been the case.
Thanks for contacting us about our Pure Ink refills. What is the time span in which the pictures fade out? Beside the protection from direct sunlight - You do that according to Your description - it extends the life span of the pictures when being protected by a picture frame with glass. Also the oxidation lets pictures fade our faster...
Thanks for Your question. You can simply rinse them with water and let them dry afterwards. This keeps the syringes keep sliding more smoothly for a longer time.
hello simon boyle, unfortunately there is no suitable chip resetter device available yet. We are checking with our supplier on regularly basis but so far their answer is still no ... we are also waiting unpatiently.
Hello Cedric, we searching for reliable products all the time - but so far it seems that no of our suppliers is working on developing autoreset chips or resetting device for the original chips. We are keen to find such a product as many customers want it. So right now we cannot say if such a solution will still appear on the market for PGI-580 and CLI-581. Sorry...
Hi I have a printer canon pixma ts8370 and I try to refill the original cartridges but it keep showing the x icon on top of the ink. What should I do? Hope you can answer my question.
Hello, thanks for Your question. When refilling the cartridges the ink level bars will not come back. You need to deactivate the printer´s ink level detection then You can print with refilled cartridges. When the detection has been deactivated successfully the ink bars are grayed out and You not see any X anymore. BUT You need to pay attention to the print outs. When a color starts fading out You should top up ink in the cartridges as soon as possible.
Watched the video with interest! One question....After deactivation, can I go back to use a brand new set of Canon Cartriges without complications? In other words, will all the ink levels correctly shown again?
Thanks for Your thoughtful question: Yes, when using a brand new set of cartridges the ink level bars will come back by itself. There is nothing to do for You beside setting in these new cartridges.
Hello Mabel, thanks for contacting us. The set of inks can be purchased from our shop: www.octopus-office.de/shop/en/printer-ink/printer-ink-canon/canon-pgi-580-cli-581/5362/refill-ink-kit-for-canon-pgi-580-pgi-280-cli-581-cli-281-inkjet-cartridges
Thank You very much for Your question. You can refill Your cartridges that way as long as the sponge inside the cartridges is not dried out and the chip on the cartridges is intact. When the sponge dries out it cannot hold the ink properly anymore and when the chips damaged the cartridge will not be recognized by the printer anymore. These are the main reasons for such a cartridge for beeing waste...

Yes, you can apply this method also on Your printer´s cartridges. The Canon Pixma IX6850 is working with PGI550 and CLI551 cartridges. There You have actually more options as there is a suitable chip resetter for PGI550 + CLI551 - So You can refill the original inkjet cartridges and also set back the chips on the cartridges to get back a displayed ink level status. ua-cam.com/video/gVIMaOp0ftM/v-deo.html ua-cam.com/video/CPTlIcOibCs/v-deo.html
Hello Kevin, basically You are free to refill the cartridge at any time convenient for You independent from its´ ink level status. You can extend the life of the ink storing sponge by keeping it filled with ink most of the time. This prevents the sponge material from drying out - a dry sponge cannot hold the printer ink properly anymore.
Thanks for the question. No, by using this way of getting ink into the cartridge the rear ink chamber is not filled up with new ink. Please be aware that only the XL cartridges have a connection from the rear ink tank to the sponge filled chamber above the ink outlet.
@@octopusoffice the issue with your method will have very less ink and you need to refill very very frequently. Do you know how to convert cartridge to XL?
Excellent and useful video but i have a question, does the cartridge need to rest a bit after the refilling, just to let the ink penetrates the sponge? Or maybe it isn't necessary ?
Thanks for Your positive feedback. Actually You can set back the cartridge into Your printer right after driiping ink on the sponge - the time necessary to refill the cartridge that way is given by the speed the sponge can take in the ink. So You can say that the resting takes place while You drip ink on the sponge.
Hello George, thanks for Your question. According to our information the TS9120 uses the PGI580 and CLI581 too - so this method can be applied with Your printer. For this method it is compulsory to work with OEM cartridges as only the OEM chip allows You to keep printing with that cartridge after the chip has sent the message EMPTY.
Hi there, I would be grateful if you could let me know where I can find information regarding a photo print quality comparison between original canon ink and your refill ink. Does your ink print identical to canon's or does it have a different colour profile? Will I be able to tell the difference between them on my photos? Thanks for your time.
Hello Danny, thank You very much for Your on the point question. The original Canon inks focus on an Asian color harmony - that´s why the original inks produce prints with an reddish appearance. Our ink set is balances more to a western color harmony - the prints have a cooler finish when using the standard color profile. We do not offer a special ICC profile for our inks. The reason is that our customers doing their own adjustments to the profiles as the used paper has a high impact on the final result. We are not able to provide a profile for every used paper type.
@@octopusoffice Thanks so much. The official CLI571 cartridge holds 7ml and PGI570 holds 15ml, is it okay to refill with 5ml and 13ml (2ml less than max capacity), or stick to what you advise in the video?
Hello, thanks for Your question. Yes, our inks are designed to go together with the original inks very well. So, from our experience You use the setups right away for refilling with alternative inks.
Hello Devinder, thank You very much for Your question. Your PGI680 and CLI681 are regional versions of PGI580 and CLI581 - so, Yes, the refill process shown in our tutorial should work for You too.
Hallo, danke für die Frage. Falls die Tinte gemeint ist - Nein. PGI580 und CLI-581 benötigen UNTERSCHIEDLICHE Tinten. Die Tinte für PGI580 ist eine schwarze Pigmenttinte und die CLI581 braucht schwarze Farbstofftinte (ohne Pigmente).
Hello Mike, thanks for Your question. We do not have a refill tutorial specific for the original CLI-42 cartridges. But please check our instruction for the alternative refillables. From that one You can derive the way how to refill the originals. You can make a hole into the cartridge´s rear section and bring in the inks there... we hope that helps a bit www.octopus-office.de/info/en/ink-refill-instructions/ink-refill-instructions-for-canon/canon-cli-42/canon-cli-42-instructions-to-refill-fill-intm-refill-cartridges/
Hello and thanks for Your question. We recommend to use inks as they are designed in the original Canon cartridges. Here that means black pigmented ink for PGI580 and black dye based ink in CLI581black. The PGI580 is used for printing texts - to get sharp and clear letters You need to have pigmented ink. CLI581black is involved when printing pictures and grafics - there the dye based inks come up with a better mixture for color shading.
Hello, thanks for Your question. You can apply this method also to Your PGI280 and CLI281 cartridges - Your cartridge code is a regional variation for the American market.
@@octopusoffice How many times can you refill the cartridge this way before problems or deterioration? Would it be best to invest in refillable cartridges instead of filling OEMs through this method?
Hello, thanks for Your feedback. The weak spots of these cartridges are the chips and the sponge. As long as the chip is not damaged You can keep on refilling this cartridge. As long as you keep the sponge away from drying out You can keep on refilling the same cartridge as often as you want. You will realize that the capacity of the sponge to store the ink properly detoriates slowly over the time. It´s time to change to a new cartridge when the sponge does not hold ink anymore.
Hello. I would like to buy a Canon Pixma TS6250 with CLI 581 or a CANON PIXMA MG5750 with CLI 571. I see that you already have a chip resetter for the 571 model. There is still none for the 581 model? Both printers have the same price right now, I dont know which is better but im more interested in the one with a better refill method. Thanks
Hello Alex, thanks for Your question. In our opinion working with the chip resetter is the better way of refilling. So You should go for the printer model using the PGI570 and CLI571 - final decision is up to You :)
Hi. My printer is a Canon Pixma TS 6350 and after the refilling, when I place the cartridge into it the message I obtain is that I replace an original canon cartridge and the only option that I can give is "OK" so I cannot disable the ink level control. Is it possible to do it with my printer model or not? Thanks in advnce for the tutorial and for the answer.
Hello Carmen, thanks for Your question. Have You refilled original Canon cartridges or alternative cartridges? After setting back the refilled cartridge into the printer: Can You start a print job / does the printer start printing?
Bonjour, Je viens de recevoir le kit de recharge d'encre et j'ai rechargé les cartouches sans problème mais je voudrais savoir s'il faut nettoyer les seringues ? Et s'il faut les nettoyer c'est avec quel produit ? Merci d'avance pour la réponse !
Merci beaucoup d'avoir demandé. Vous pouvez simplement rincer les seringues à l'eau puis les laisser sécher. C'est tout à fait suffisant. Meilleures salutations
According to our compatibility database the TR7550 uses PGI580 aand CLI581 cartridges too, right? So the process suggested in our video should work for that printer too.
@@octopusoffice Thanks for the reply. Yes, thr TR7550 uses the same cartridges, but has physical buttons: (start, stop, cancel), not like model in your video, i guess it's TS8150 which has buttons on the screen. Anyway I refilled the cartridges in this model and couldn't deactivate the information concerning the empty inks "red cross"
Thanks for Your reply. Despite the buttons on the printer are different the display should give You guidance how to keep on printing with that cartridge. If it is not on the display there are also messages on the computer´s screen - usually there also appears which steps to go on printing with that cartridge.
@@octopusoffice Thanks. Yes after showing the warning that ink is empty, i hold down the STOP/RESET/RESUME button and it clear by ink. So it works fine for this model also.
Thanks a lot for Your positive feedback. And yes, the PGI280 is the regional equivalent in the American market to PGI580 and the same for CLI281 to CLI581.
@@octopusoffice Ouf ;) . J'ai déjà votre kit de 6 flacons à la maison. Je ne peux que vous féliciter de la qualité de ce kit , complet , très bien emballé. Je n'ai pas encore fait une recharge mais tout y est , même la paire de gants :) . Merci .
Hello Samar, thanks for Your question. I cannot find the MG5370 in our database - is it a printer model from outside the European market and which Canon cartridges does it use?
Hello Samar, thank You very much for providing the cartridge model number. Yes, You can apply the refill procedure from this video to Your cartridges too. The PGI725 and CLI726 can also be refilled by dripping ink on their sponges.
Thank You very much for Your question. For PGI570 and CLI571 we have refillable cartridges: ua-cam.com/video/XUDBCNsqVKk/v-deo.html and if you are going to refill original cartridges a suitable chip resetter: ua-cam.com/video/LjHyVKTdIs0/v-deo.html But You can also refill them the same way as shown for PGI580 CLI581.
Thanks for your tutorials. I am a customer and I bought 5 inks(OCTOPUS 250ml) for my Pixma ts8050 a week ago and my printer now is broken. Today I bought a new one: pixma ts 8250. I have a question : can I use my inks for my new printer ? My inks are CLI 571 and pgi 570. New printer has CLI 581. The grey has changed in new model and become PB . Thanks a million
Hello me rah, thanks for Your question. We are sorry to read Your printer broke down. The PGI570 and CLI571 inks will do no damage to Your new printer. But the new printer has a new color management system - Your new machine will print with these inks but the apperance of the print will be not color balanced. If you do not like the results - send back the inks - we will reimburse You. And then You can buy the correct ones.
Hello Ahmed, thanks for Your comment and explanantion. Did You refill original Canon cartridges or alternative cartridges? The refilling as the tutorial shows only works for original Canon cartridges with original Canon ink chips.
Hello Ahmed, thanks for the confirmation. So the printer gives the message that the cartridges are defective? Actually with the original chips You should be able to go on printing after filling new ink into the cartridge - when starting a print jop the printer provides to You the opportunity to deactivate the ink recognition - so You will have no ink level related information for the refilled cartridge anymore but You can print... without the deactivation the print does not start.
Thanks for Your thoughtful input - please be carefule as this way does not work for the standard yield cartridges PGI580 and CLI581 as the front ink tank inside the cartridges is NOT connected to the rear tank. Just die XL version have the front ink tank and the rear ink tank connected to each other.
A clean and simple way??? When the cartridge gets full enough, the ink comes out of the top of the ink cartridge! Simple YES. Clean NO! lol Auf Weidersehen
Hello Paul, thanks for taking the time and contribute to our tutorial. By doing the refill several times You can get a good feeling to avoid the cartridge leaking ink from the top due to overfilling the sponge. Take care....
Thanks for Your question. We recommend to refill small quanities of refill ink regularely. As You do not have a displayed ink level bar anymore and the printer does not give warning messages for the refilled cartridge - You never know how much ink is left inside.. Filling up small amounts provides the security to have sufficient ink when starting a print joba nd also extends the life span of the inner sponge. Actually the sponge is one weak spot of these cartridges. If it dries out it cannot hold the ink inside the cartridge properly. So keeping the sponge moistered is keeping the sponge alive for a longer time.
thanks for this tutorial, now I will not buy the cardtridge anymore since it is expensive, I will now just refill my old cardtridge thanks!
thanks for giving our suggestion a try 👍🏻👍🏻

Is it possible to do it with my printer model or not?
Thanks in advnce for the tutorial and for the answer.
Hello Carmen, thanks for Your question. Have You refilled original Canon cartridges or alternative cartridges?
After setting back the refilled cartridge into the printer: Can You start a print job / does the printer start printing?
@@octopusoffice I have used original Canon cartridges. And now I'm not able to print ; I get an error message warning that cartridges are empty...
danke
Gerne doch...
Bonjour,
Je viens de recevoir le kit de recharge d'encre et j'ai rechargé les cartouches sans problème mais je voudrais savoir s'il faut nettoyer les seringues ? Et s'il faut les nettoyer c'est avec quel produit ? Merci d'avance pour la réponse !
Merci beaucoup d'avoir demandé. Vous pouvez simplement rincer les seringues à l'eau puis les laisser sécher. C'est tout à fait suffisant.
Meilleures salutations
Did you test refill with the TR7550?
Is it works with that model?
According to our compatibility database the TR7550 uses PGI580 aand CLI581 cartridges too, right? So the process suggested in our video should work for that printer too.
@@octopusoffice Thanks for the reply. Yes, thr TR7550 uses the same cartridges, but has physical buttons: (start, stop, cancel), not like model in your video, i guess it's TS8150 which has buttons on the screen.
Anyway I refilled the cartridges in this model and couldn't deactivate the information concerning the empty inks "red cross"
Thanks for Your reply. Despite the buttons on the printer are different the display should give You guidance how to keep on printing with that cartridge. If it is not on the display there are also messages on the computer´s screen - usually there also appears which steps to go on printing with that cartridge.
@@octopusoffice Thanks. Yes after showing the warning that ink is empty, i hold down the STOP/RESET/RESUME button and it clear by ink.
So it works fine for this model also.
👍 really happy to read about that outcome !!!
It's not really this video..
Do you have personal firmware?
U received error 1660 and I can't do anything, only change the cartridge or power off.
We are working with the standard firmware on our printer. Do You use alternative cartridges or original cartridges?
@@octopusoffice hello, yes, without original.. it's for this the problem, really?
Very helpful video, but I have a question. Is 580 the same with 280 and 581 same with 281?
Thanks a lot for Your positive feedback. And yes, the PGI280 is the regional equivalent in the American market to PGI580 and the same for CLI281 to CLI581.
Bonjour ,
j'ai le micrologiciel en version 1.100 . Peut-on remplir ces cartouches de démarrage avec votre kit de flacon ?
Merci d'avoir demandé. Jusqu'à présent, la recharge des cartouches de départ a fonctionné avec tous les firmwares.
@@octopusoffice Ouf ;) . J'ai déjà votre kit de 6 flacons à la maison. Je ne peux que vous féliciter de la qualité de ce kit , complet , très bien emballé. Je n'ai pas encore fait une recharge mais tout y est , même la paire de gants :) . Merci .
Merci pour la réponse. Nous nous efforçons d'offrir la solution la plus complète possible.
Did you test refill with the Canano MG5370
Is it works with that model?
Hello Samar, thanks for Your question. I cannot find the MG5370 in our database - is it a printer model from outside the European market and which Canon cartridges does it use?
@@octopusoffice Welcome, yeah, this is the full name Canon PIXMA MG5370 Wireless
Hello Sanmar, thanks for the full name of the model. What are the cartridge modell number this printer is using?
@@octopusoffice Welcome, the cartridge model number is : ( CLI-726)
Hello Samar, thank You very much for providing the cartridge model number. Yes, You can apply the refill procedure from this video to Your cartridges too. The PGI725 and CLI726 can also be refilled by dripping ink on their sponges.
What about
PGI 571 🤔🤔
The Same Think ??
Thank You very much for Your question. For PGI570 and CLI571 we have refillable cartridges: ua-cam.com/video/XUDBCNsqVKk/v-deo.html
and if you are going to refill original cartridges a suitable chip resetter: ua-cam.com/video/LjHyVKTdIs0/v-deo.html
But You can also refill them the same way as shown for PGI580 CLI581.
Thanks for your tutorials. I am a customer and I bought 5 inks(OCTOPUS 250ml) for my Pixma ts8050 a week ago and my printer now is broken. Today I bought a new one: pixma ts 8250. I have a question : can I use my inks for my new printer ? My inks are CLI 571 and pgi 570. New printer has CLI 581.
The grey has changed in new model and become PB .
Thanks a million
Hello me rah, thanks for Your question. We are sorry to read Your printer broke down. The PGI570 and CLI571 inks will do no damage to Your new printer. But the new printer has a new color management system - Your new machine will print with these inks but the apperance of the print will be not color balanced.
If you do not like the results - send back the inks - we will reimburse You. And then You can buy the correct ones.
OctopusConcept
That would be great!
Thank you so much
You are welcome :)
Honestly none of the cartridges works after refill I try few of them and none of them works after refill printer say bad cartridges
Hello Ahmed, thanks for Your comment and explanantion. Did You refill original Canon cartridges or alternative cartridges? The refilling as the tutorial shows only works for original Canon cartridges with original Canon ink chips.
@@octopusoffice yes they are original cartridges
Hello Ahmed, thanks for the confirmation. So the printer gives the message that the cartridges are defective? Actually with the original chips You should be able to go on printing after filling new ink into the cartridge - when starting a print jop the printer provides to You the opportunity to deactivate the ink recognition - so You will have no ink level related information for the refilled cartridge anymore but You can print... without the deactivation the print does not start.
@@octopusoffice I have to double check that. I order new cartridges and replaced. Will try on other onld printer that I have
Hello Ahmed, thanks for the answer. Are You refilling the cartridge model which stated in our tutorial?
just remove the sticker and take out ball plug with a screw. refill. put the ball back
Thanks for Your thoughtful input - please be carefule as this way does not work for the standard yield cartridges PGI580 and CLI581 as the front ink tank inside the cartridges is NOT connected to the rear tank. Just die XL version have the front ink tank and the rear ink tank connected to each other.
A clean and simple way??? When the cartridge gets full enough, the ink comes out of the top of the ink cartridge! Simple YES. Clean NO! lol Auf Weidersehen
Hello Paul, thanks for taking the time and contribute to our tutorial. By doing the refill several times You can get a good feeling to avoid the cartridge leaking ink from the top due to overfilling the sponge. Take care....
hii, one question, I have bought your refill bottles, i am wondering if you have an estimation of how often should I refill or after how many copies?
Thanks for Your question. We recommend to refill small quanities of refill ink regularely. As You do not have a displayed ink level bar anymore and the printer does not give warning messages for the refilled cartridge - You never know how much ink is left inside.. Filling up small amounts provides the security to have sufficient ink when starting a print joba nd also extends the life span of the inner sponge. Actually the sponge is one weak spot of these cartridges. If it dries out it cannot hold the ink inside the cartridge properly. So keeping the sponge moistered is keeping the sponge alive for a longer time.
