Does anyone have any experience with these little electronic tools they sell on ebay that reset the chips on the maintenance cartridges for the PRO-1000, 2000, 4000, 6000 line of printers?
I just discovered that the cartridge for the big printers is a whopping $90 from Canon. There is no way I'm paying $90 for what is essentially just a plastic box with absorbent felt inside it. The cartridge is also very easily taken apart. If possible, in the future, I'm just going to replace the felt inside and reset the chip.
If the resetters don't work, I'm also wondering if I can just buy a new cartridge for the PRO-1000 (only $15) and swap the chip into the larger cartridge as a way of getting the printer to recognize it as a new cartridge.
I'm all about using genuine Canon ink in such an expensive printer, but spending so much on this silly maintenance cartridge is just ridiculous.
