Epson Ink Printer Check Manufacture Date

Posted by on July 31, 2008 5 comments

Epson inkjet printers such as Epson stylus cx5000, Epson stylus cx8400 or Epson stylus photo rx595, these Epson ink printers use ink cartridges T069 series or T078 series.

To prevent third-party generic compatible inkjet cartridges T069 series or T078 series, since March 2007, Epson changed the reading ink chips inside these inkjet printers and forced most of third-party generic ink cartridges NOT COMPATIBLE. So our T069 series or T078 series compatible ink cartridges may not be compatible with these printers made after March 2007. This is our fault not to mention this on our website catalog before, therefore we got some quality complains, returns and refund.

We are apologizing to our old customers who have purchased these T069 series or T078 series compatible ink cartridges from us, 123 Ink Cartridges Canada. Sorry to bring you inconveniences.

How to check the manufacture date of your Epson inkjet printer:

  • Turn the printer upside down and look for 4 little dials.
  • They resemble clocks, imprinted in the plastic casing.
  • The clocks show the year, month and day of manufacture.
  • For example: “6 0 9 07″, which I read as, “6th Sept 07″.

Canon CLI-8 Ink With Chip New In Stock

Posted by on July 31, 2008 1 comment

Canon Cli-8 series and PGI-5BK compatible ink cartridges, which are for Canon ip4500 and more other printers, are now available in stock at our store 123 Ink Cartridges Canada.

Canon CLI-8 Ink Cartridges

Canon ink Cli-8BK, pigment black PGI-5BK and color inkjet cartridges CLI-8C (Cyan), CLI-8M (Magenta), CLI-8Y (Yellow), CLI-8PC (Photo Cyan) and CLI-8PM (Photo Magenta) are among the most popular compatible ink cartridges selling in our store. They are compatible with dozens of Canon pixma series printers and Canon Pixus series printers, such as Canon PIXMA IP4500, Canon PIXMA IP4300, Canon PIXMA MP830, Canon PIXMA MP610, Canon PIXUS IP4300 and Canon PIXUS MP500. Most of those printers are good at graphics printing or photo printing.

Our store 123 Ink Cartridges Canada have been selling NO-CHIP CLI-8 series compatible ink cartridges and NO-CHIP PGI-5BK compatible ink cartridge for quite long time. For NO-CHIP CLI-8 ink cartridges, customers have to replace the chips from the OEM (genuine) ink cartridges to our new replacement ink cartridges. It is not so hard to do this, however, with our new CLI-8 series compatible ink cartridges, you can install them as easy as install the OEM ones.

One last thing to mention here is why Cli-8 series inkjet cartridges have the chips. As one of our former blog said, Canon uses the ink equivalent of DRM, the use of microchips or chips embedded in ink cartridges that work with a corresponding technical mechanism in the printer that blocks the use of third-party ink, like our compatible ink cartridges. Anyway, our supplier, which is one of the best compatible ink manufacturers in the world, cracked the technologies, made the chips by themselves and passed all of the quality tests. We provide one year guarantee for our compatible ink cartridges.

Talk about the ink supplies. There are two kinds of different ink cartridges set for Epson RX595, one is T078 series regular ink cartridges and another is T077 series high capacity ink cartridges. Except the “high capacity” and the “high price”, T077 series is pretty much same with T078 series. Our store, 123 Ink Cartridges Canada provide high quality G&G brand new compatible ink cartridges T078 series for Epson Stylus Photo RX595.
