Does anyone know how to defeat the "ink out" message from a cartridge to its
printer after refilling the cartridge? The assumption in the past is to be
sure and keep the top half full of ink and not wait till the cartridge is
empty before refilling, however this does not always work.

HP CARTS ARE NOT MADE TO REFILL.

The thing to know is they tend to estimate the ink used, not actually
sense a low ink condition, or linearly measure the ink quantity in the
tank.

With that, AFAIK HP and Lexmark carts are chipped with a serial number,
which can be tricked (at least on some HP models), by taping contacts,
or circulating different carts.

Chipped Epsons seem to have a serial number, and store the spent quantiy
on the chip, and may have a low-ink sensor.

Chipped Canons are new, and nothing has been published about them, but
they can continue to work with a "spent" chip, but have no ink
monitoring.
They have an optical low ink sensor that will work with a "good" chip.

Most lasers have some sort of chip, either one that keeps count, or one
that is simply a fuse that blows when it figiures it has been emptied.

Which printer? It makes a difference.

then just print until the printhead is burned and see what you save

If talking canon, my canon.

Kit from inksupply.com... $60 Used it up long since
Equilivent OEM ink form costco $160 or so
Printhead from an online retailer $60

Amount saved thus far $100
If I had to buy a printhead... $40 (which I don't)

----
Putting things in simple terms that even Measkite can't deny...
priceless.

For anyone with reason can see if I had to buy a printhead today... it
would still cost less. But odds are I won't have to buy a printhead
until it burns out. For anyone with a working brain.. this is hundrads
of dollars.

I'm not at all surprised that you do not understand, nor is anybody else who
reads your posts.

You do Bob and the rest of us a disservice by not understanding that Bob
carefully provides a balanced and knowledgeable point of view here. Try it you
might like it!
