New Cartridges And Ink To Use:
There is a new range of cartridges which are available now or will be in the near future. This is an update on which ink to use in each cartridge.
Brother LC-61 & LC67 Black - B5010
Brother LC-61 & LC657 colours - Cyan B5011, Magenta B5012, Yellow B5013
(These cartridges are not yet available in Australia but are expected and will probably feature different cartridge numbers.)
Hp60 Black - H3WL3
Hp60 Colour - Cyan H2054, Magenta H2055, Yellow H57Y
Lexmark 14A - L4675
Lexmark 15A - Cyan L4027, Magenta L4028, Yellow L4029
Lexmark 36A - L4675
Lexmark 37A - Cyan L4027, Magenta L4028, Yellow L4029
Lexmark 41A - No inks developed yet.
Lexmark 42A - H3WL3
Lexmark 43 - No inks developed yet
Lexmark 44 - H3WL3
New Canon Printers And Ink Cartridges
A new range of Canon printers with new cartridges with be available in Australia soon.
The IP3600 & IP4600 which will replace the IP3500/IP4500 includes new individual ink tanks. From viewing photos the cartridges look similar in design to the existing Pgi-5 & Cli-8 cartridges. We are not aware at the moment until we get our hands on the cartridges what the situation will be regarding the chip technology. The cartridge numbers will also be regional as they are different between Europe and the US. But expect to see (for example) numbers like Pg-220 and CL-221.
There are also a new range of low cost printers & MFPs that will feature the replacement for the PG37 & CL38 combination. Again these are new cartridges and look the same basic design as existing models.
Chip On Compatible Pgi-5 & Cli-8 Cartridges Unable To Be Reset
It seems that everybody was saying this chip could be reset with the portable red resetter. We put the question forward to various parties including the chip manufacturer and cartridge manufacturers, they all agreed the chip could be reset. We then tested the chips on the resetters and yes the light stayed on indicating the cartridge is reset - the cartridges were then tested in a printer and did work. But the reality is that this chip can't be reset.
HP02 LightFast Inks
The Photosmart range of printers are designed for printing photographs so why not offer a Lightfast ink for your customers. At Ausjet we are pleased to give you the option of two Sensient inksets for these cartridges, our normal premium quality ink or our new Lightfast inkset. These Lightfast inks are perfect for discerning customers who would like to have a more permanent photo print with lightfast qualities.
New HP Individual Ink Cartridges
HP has recently presented a new range of photosmart printers that feature individual ink tanks. By viewing photos of the new HP564 (US numbers), the new cartridges look very similar in design to current Epson model cartridges. There is no word at the moment if these cartridges will feature smart chip technology.
I hope this information has been helpful to you.

Inkjet Refilling Technical Bulletin
Technical Bulletin 29-08-08
PG40 & CL41 Priming Tools
We have just received in stock priming tools for the ever popular Canon Pg37/40/50 & CL38/41/51/52 range of cartridges. Priming is a critical aspect of inkjet refilling and these have been in much demand. They are also a great solution for refill kits as one side of the clip is designed for the cartridge to fit into for refilling.
Plastic Ball Plug For Cartridge Sealing
We have now sourced another plastic ball plug and are happy to offer this plug at a much reduced price over the previously available plug. The ball plug can be used in a wide range of Canon and HP cartridges. The plug is also offered as the preferred seal for the Epson evalve system.
The plug will fit the following cartridges :
BC03/BX3/Bci3s/BCi6s/Pgi5s/Cli8s/Hp15/45 and Evalve system.
Changing The Battery In The Pgi-5 Resetter
As you may be aware the battery in the resetter will eventually run out of life. These resetters are not designed for multi batch resetting as this would drain the battery very quickly. Even though the resetter looks like a sealed unit it is actually quite easy to open and replace the battery. Full instructions for replacing the battery are available as a PDF Download
Benchtop Centrifuge Currently Testing
We are currently testing a small benchtop centrifuge and so far are very pleased with the result. When used correctly this centrifuge doesn't bounce around like a lot of others on the market. Its a very quiet unit that doesn't take up much bench space and has universal cartridge cradles - so that you don't have to buy extra cradles for each different type of cartridge. Its perfect for those that want an easy no hassle way of empting ink cartridges.
Lexmark Return Program Cartridges
Lexmark has released a few more return program cartridges to the market recently. As of today and to the best of my knowledge the following information is correct.
The following return program cartridges will not work when refilled and legally can't be refilled.
#23 Black #24 Colour
#28 Black #29 Colour
#41 Black #42 Colour
#14 Black #15 Colour
#36 Black #37 Colour
An 'A' after any of these cartridges changes the situation totally - All 'A' cartridges can be refilled.
The important thing to remember is if the cartridge has 'return program on the cartridge then it can't be refilled'
Most lexmark printers that use the #23, #24, #28 and #29 cartridges can also use the Lexmark #34 & #35 cartridges. We currently have on special remanufactured Lexmark #34 and #35 cartridges. It's a good idea to have a few of these cartridges on hand to replace the appropriate return program cartridge. Remember to mention to your customer that the #34 and #35 can be refilled.
More detailed information on these return program cartridges will be available soon for download. Alternatively you can visit Lexmarks website.
I hope this information has been helpful to you.

Tech Bulletin: New inkjet Cartridges
Tech Bulletin : New inkjet cartridges
Canon
Canon has released a new range of inkjet cartridges. The cartridge model is a PGI-7 and PGi-9 and are similiar to the Cli-8 etc as they are individual ink tanks. The biggest difference in the Pgi-9 cartridges is that all the cartridges contain pigment inks even the colours. The printers are available in Australia in the MX7600 (RRP $549.00) and the Pimax Pro 9500 A3+ (RRP $1399) high end printers
The MX7600 cartridge uses the following cartridges
http://www.canon.com.au/products/all_in_one_printers/all_in_one_printers/mx7600.aspx
Pgi-7 Black
Pgi-9 Cyan
Pgi-9 Magenta
Pgi-9 Yellow
Pgi-9 Photo Black
Pgi-9 Clear
The Pixma Pro 9500 uses 10 different cartridges
http://www.canon.com.au/products/printers/colour_bj_printers/pro9500.aspx
Pgi-9 Cyan
Pgi-9 Magenta
Pgi-9 Yellow
Pgi-9 Photo Cyan
Pgi-9 Photo Magenta
Pgi-9 Red
Pgi-9 Green
Pgi-9 Photo Black
Pgi-9 Medium Black
We are currently in the process of sourcing pigment inks for these cartridges and developing refill instructions. We have also had some positive results with resetting the chips on these new cartridges.
Canon also has released a 4 colour cartridge (BkCMY) called the CLI-36, this cartridge is used in a Pixma Mini260 Compact Photo printer.
http://www.canon.com.au/products/visual/printers/photo_printers/mini260.aspx. The cartridge does contain a chip which looks the same as the Pgi-5/Cli-8 chip.
Brother
Brother is also soon to release a new cartridge model - overseas the model number of the cartridges are LC61 and LC65. So expect the model numbers to be different when they arrrive in Australia. The good news is Brother is sticking to its proven individual tank design without a electronic chip. Brother has also mentioned that the inks have been only very slightly modified from the ink in the LC57 cartridges. These cartridges are currently only available in the MFC-6490CW which is not available in Australia. But i would be surprised if the new cartridges aren't in Australia soon.
More info about the MFC-6490CW which is the first printer in the world which will print/copy/scan ledger size paper.

Epson
Probably the main thing that everybody is talking about with Epson is the 73N series cartridges. Its eay to get confused with the 73N and the T0731-4 series cartridges.
The 73N from Epson is a replacement cartridge for the T0731-T0734 cartridges that has sold for the last few years. Epson will also be releasing new printers that the 73N will only work in.
With the Procolor compatible we currently have the T0731-4 range of cartridges, but as you are probably aware these are a very popular range of cartridges. So lets not get confused if somebody asks for a T0731 give them a procolor T0731 - these printers have been selling here for many years so there is a huge customer base out there.
Procolor will be releasing the 73N series and we will let you know when these will be available, development on the chip is still underway for this cartridge.
HP
The HP60 Black and colour is now available in Australia. The printers these cartridges come in are the D2560 and F4260. Even those these cartridges look like the HP94/95 design they feature a new design of printhead. The black cartridge has 336 nozzles and the colour cartridge 1248 nozzles. The 60 cartridges are capable of printing two drop sizes 1.3pl and 4.7pl. In reference HP mentions 3.8 billion 1.3pl drops would be needed to fit into a teaspoon. More information on the cartridge and the design can be found at
http://www.hp.com/hpinfo/newsroom/press_kits/2008/deskjet20/bg_inktechnology.pdf
Lexmark
Lexmark have a wide range of new cartridges that have been available for some time. Its important to remember with Lexmark inkjet cartridges is that we can't refill the return program (RP) cartridges. These cartridges are the #23,#24,#28,#29,#41,#42, but the #41A and 42A can be filled.
These cartridges include the Lexmark #14,#15,#36,#37,#41A,#42A,#43,#44. As you may be aware all of these cartridges are very similar to previous models.We are currently waiting for confirmation from Sensient to find out which inks are the best fit or whether a new ink is needed.
Lexmark have also released a report from Buyers Labs in the US - comparing Lexmark inkjet cartridges vs Remanufactured inkjet cartridges. They are using this report as a main selling point to buy genuine cartridges - the link is http://www.lexmark.com.au/vgn/images/portal/1_Lexmark_BLI_competitive_study_2007.pdf
It's not a very glowing report but if it was it wouldn't be on their website either.
As you can see there is a lot of new cartridges that have been released - when we know more information about what inks to use, how to fill you will be the first to know.
I hope this information has been helpful to you.
