I've done it all my life.
It makes the peas taste funny.
But it keeps them on my knife.

They come without the chip. They work if you tell the printer you
have a refilled cartridge and then the ink low monitor no longer
works. I have yet to find an aftermarket ink with the fade resistance
of the Canon ink. The ones I tried faded about 25 times faster.
Refill ink is fine for limited time use documents.

How do you tell the printer that you have a refilled
cartridge. I will be only using it for black ink as i print
about 1000 pages a month and original would be too costly.

Here is another one just like Ron. Boy the church goers are silient now.
The first think is you have to address the printer like "Hello Mr. Canon"
Then you say
"Mr Canon you will be getting a clog soon from this refill"
The printer will then say "Happy Fading"
Now since the ink monitor will no longer work the cart is empty when the
poor quality gets even worse.
Now if you only use black ink and print that much you should be a
relatively inexpensive laser and you will not have this problem. If you
already have an IP4200 I would use OEM ink and keep it for color and
photos and still get a b/w laser.

Our you sure 25 times is correct? What scientific methodology did you
use? Please post the side by side results as valid documentation of your
claim, ok.
BTW, I've use after market inks in all of my printers for over ten years
and have never, ever noticed fading.

Yes, but you'll still need to have a set of original Canon cartridges.
You have to pry the chips off the genuine cartridges and stick them in
the receptacles in the 3rd party ones. Then, they'll work, however,
they won't report ink level status. They'll always show as empty,
because that's what the chips will be set at. Without the chips, I
don't think they'll work.

Then if they cause problems Canon has the right to void your warranty.

Refilling with decent ink such as HobbiColors will not damage the printer.
But what difference does it make if the warranty is voided? A set of OEM
cartridges costs nearly the same as a new iP4200 or iP4300. So in effect,
everytime a set of OEM cartridges runs out of ink, the warranty is void
anyway. By the time a refilled set makes it through half of the first
refill, the difference in price between a new set of ink cartridges vs. a
new printer has been erased.
