Compatable tanks for my pixma iP4200

Jun 01, 2008

- Don't believe the Canon hype. Have since found out that I really had put 2 yellow chips int here somehow as replaced chip with one I definately knew was from the same colour(Cyan) and it worked and didn't flash any more. My only problem is that I now have no communication with the printer and have worked out that if you take out and insert any of the cartridges too many times it spoils the surface of the chip (even on the Canon cartridges) and then it won't work any more. If I knew how I managed to "reset the chip" without buying a kit, murgatroid, I would be making a million by now, cos thats what I must have done somewhere along the way, it seems, but thanks for the info anyhow. Would anyone know the best generic machines to buy, as I haven't heard of the term before, and would love to save some pennies on a long term basis. The print quality isn't all that essential as long as I can keep access to photo labs on line.
Thanks for the imputs chaps
