My method for Modifying The Canon CLI 8 and CLI 42 cartridges 

Thank you Jose. I could've taken a few out of country trips on the OEM inks I have 'cycled' through. ugh

Thank you, Mr. Rodriguez, for sharing this informative video. All your videos are very much appreciated.

Amazing and very well explained video. What size is the drill bit you used please? I didn't quite understand it when you mentioned it. Was it 5/32?. That is close to 4mm. So, would 4mm drill do the job? Thanx

Great video. You talked about acquiring and using a second set of carts in another one of your video's. I would like to purchase a 2nd set of carts , so i don't want to have to transfer my original Canon 42 chips to a new set. a.) How can I get a second set ? b.) Will I need a second resetter ? Thanks for your generous consideration, Sincerely .....................

Terrific Video- Thank you Jose Rodriguez!!!

Your videos are super helpful! Thank You so much!

hello Jose, Thank you for all your input and work with the Canon Pro 100. I do have 2 questions though. First. Why don't you like the a hole drilled in the top of the cartridge and what benefit is going through the process you describe? Second. Wouldn't be easier that after you remove the ball you take the razor you show and trim the bottom of the plug a bit so it fits and seals.? Again thank you and I am continuing to watch your vids that definitely help me get 100% use out of my Pro 100. PS sorry if these questions have been asked before !

Hi. Precision Colors clear plugs that were included with the refill kit don’t sit flush against the cart... they fit snugly but don’t go down completely. Is this ok?

Was a catridge I replaced time ago maybe that is the problem thank you.I will try with another catridge

Hi, Jose I recently order the empty carts from precision ink to avoid having to drill the holes myself..when they arrived they had a note the says: the chips that are installed on these re-furbished cartridges cli-8 will not work on the pro-100..you carefully need to remove these and transfer cli-42 chips to these cartridges..I'm a little confused now because I assumed all I would have to do upon receiving these carts is use the little reset tool I purchased? Help please 🤔 Thanks

Jose, every time I watch one of your videos I learn something new and end up with a new question. I'm not sure I've ever heard you say put tape on the vent hole when storing but I may have missed it in another of your videos. Will ink spill out of that hole if flipped over?

Great video. I've been looking into the Canon Pixima Pro 100 and came across your videos. Thank you for taking the time to explain how to refill the ink cartridges. for a person like myself would it be wise to just buy the deluxe ink refill kit from precision colors and just transfer the chips? i don't have power tools to make the modifications necessary

can I use CLI-42 cartridges in my IP6600D instead of CLI-8?

Hello Joe. I have taken the ball out and drilled (by hand) 5/32 hole. However, I am having great difficulty getting the rubber plug supplied by Precision colors to seat completely as I see you doing here. Mine stick out a bit on the top and I am wondering if this will seal the ink flow completely. I have redone the drilling (by hand) 2 more times trying to slightly increase the hole but the rubber plugs do not completely get flat as I see in your video. Maybe a 1/16" inch is still stick out. Suggestions? or am I ok?

Good morning Mr Jose just I refill my cl42PM catridge with PC ink and my prints showings to red any suggestions thank you

where do you get the rubber plugs. to plug the cartriges. Ide also like to know for Epson 3880 printer can you mix the inkjet mall ink to the oem Epson ink for the 3880 will it mix and print hi quality images

Hi Jose! Thank you for all of these very helpful videos! So I am a beginner with all of this and am a little confused with the refilling process. It's not you, your explanations are very thorough...I am just really new! I have a pro 100 and am using it for a greeting card business with cardstock and just simple black lettering on them. What is the easiest way to refill the carts? Meaning, do I have to go through the drill bit process, flushing and all of that? You mentioned PC selling ready to go carts...what exactly would I be looking for on the website to get those? And then, what process would I go through with those ready to go carts, would I be able to skip a lot of this process? Sorry for all of the questions, I don't know much at all and am slowly learning. Any advice would be appreciated!

Hi Jose - even if a small amount of swarf / dust gets into the cartridge when you drill the 5/32 hole i gues it doesn't matter too much as it will be retained by the sponge in any event?

Hi, thanks for your videos. I have a question regarding modified CLI-42 cartridges. I drilled 5/32 hole, but there are some plastic shavings inside the cartridge, should I be concern about them and try to remove it or just leave it alone like some people say. Is there a way to remove those pieces of plastic. Thanks.

Joe, appreciate all your videos, they have been very helpful. I have a question regarding a CLI 8 yellow cartridge that I have flushed for future use in a Pro-100. How do you dry the sponge prior to refilling with the appropriate ink? Thanks,

Jus I put back a original canon ink cartridge and print perfect again, same problem with the PC ink you think? Thank you for you time Mr. Rodriguez

Joe I have a choice between a 3.8 mm or 4 mm drill bit as I don't have a 5/32" drill bit. 5/32" is equal to 3.968 mm. Do you think I should use the 3.8 or 4mm drill bit as a replacement for the 5/32"?

Jose can you reset the chip with the cart refilled completely in a original yeilow

Where do you buy the chip resetter?

thanks jose I had sent you a private email

Hi Jose, I would like to send you a support contribution through Paypal, I don't trust posting my credit card online for security reasons. Is there an email address I could send you this. Thanks for all of your help getting started. Michael Breskin

This is only talking and not demonstrating! We like to see the real thing and the real result of your refilled cart which you never could show us. So your video clip is not much useful.

Where do you get the pluggers from?
