Did the same thing for me. I filled a complAint and never heard back. I wish I had off read the reviews before purchasing because it seems to be common.

they are not made to respond after they are refilled if you contact them they will either walk you tgrough it or refund your money Bonne Chance

The sensor isn't reading the cartridge. Push your stop or reset button and hold it for 5 seconds.

Mine did the same thing. I contacted the supplier and they told me how to override it. I did that and it did not help, so they replaced my order. I was quite happy that their customer service was so good. This cartridge lasted a little longer, but I got the low ink message again. I overrode it and it is still going. I don't know if this is a cartridge issue, or just a flaw of this particular printer. Fortunately, I don't do a lot of printing or it would definitley be an issue.

I have successfully used re-manufactured (refilled) cartridges. Although there is a trick to using them. After you install one, the machine will tell you the cartridge is "low ink". After a few pages it says it's out of ink and the warning light comes on. (Do NOT Cancel your Print Job!) Press and hold the Red "Stop" button for about 5 seconds and the warning light will turn off. The display will then show "unknown ink volume" or something similar. You are now good to print until the cartridge actually runs out of ink.

Another thing you can try, (that has worked for me when ink is so low that printer will not print, yet there's still ink in cartridge), is to place a small piece of duct or masking tape over the clear part of the cartridge. That's where/how the printer itself recognizes ink levels in the cartridges.

I'd double-check to be sure they are the correct cartridge for your printer. Also, check the electrical contacts on the cartridge to be sure you have good contact

I got the same thing. Bad cartridges. I bought some new ones from Staples and they were fine. Don't buy from this vendor. They are sending out a lot of faulty cartridges.

Thank you for your message. I am more than happy to assist you and I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems with the cartridges. Please rest assured that I am going to get this situation resolved for you as soon as possible. To get a better grasp on the issues you are experiencing, I would like to ask you a few questions: * What is your printer model? * What exactly is happening when you are attempting to print? Any specific error messages? * How many cartridges have you tried so far? * Have you removed any pull strip from the cartridges if necessary? * Have you tried taking the cartridge out and reinserting it? I look forward to your reply and resolving this situation for you with either a refund or replacements. Have a great day!

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

If any cartridge, after refill, is not recognized as being full, its a matter for the manufacturer to resolve. I would try to contact the manufacturer for a solution or a replacement. Missing colors suggest a clogged print head. I would suggest performing the various cleaning procedures described in the printer's owners manual which is often available on the manufacturer's website.

The printer heads may need to be cleaned. Go to printer >>>touch the picture of the wrench >>>>tools >>>clean cartridges.

I had found the same. It does seem that the Canon printer starts telling you the ink is low after a few pages. Having said that, I will admit it has printed longer on low ink than it usually has... Still I bought 2 name brand cartridges to replace it with. I will not be straying off brand again. You get what you pay for.

My printer is not working well since I started using the cartridges. What prints out is faded, unreadable, and with whole passages missing.

If the printer recognizes that the cartridge is installed it may be that the ink jet nozzels are clogged up. Go into the maintenance menu of your printer and do a deep-cleaning of the print heads. Also press the reset/stop button on the printer for 10-12 seconds. If this doesn't work, the cartridge may not have gotten completely refilled or the ink they used to refill it is of inferior quality and is drying out. There is no way to determine exactly what is causing the problem other than taking the cartridge apart in a lab enviroment........

You can try cleaning the print heads (google the model of your printer along with "cleaning print heads" and you should be able to find instructions") and try a better quality ink. It may or may not work. It did not work for me. I ended up having to replace my printer after using this poor quality ink. Good luck to you!

The original cartridge gave us about 700-800 copies. This cartridge which replaced it, according to the printer, has printed 1034 pages (I have my doubts about this number though) so far without any issues. Since last two days the toner low message is back and is consistently on but little shaking makes it work. Let see how far it will go. Will keep you posted on the final number.

Yeah, the one it came with will only have enough ink to print 5 pages. Each cartridge only has a specific amount of ink for a specific amount of pages.

i have no idea .... it isn't the cartridges i'd say, because mine are perfect. i regret i didn't take the time to write a review for this company i purchased from because they gave me timely service and the ink is clear, bright, sharp, and the cartridges long lasting. the pictures identical to what i see coming from my camera. is your ink running low? my printer alerts me when the cartridges are running low even though i can really keep printing, though the color then tends to start fading.
