How to Fix Canon iP2770 Orange LED Blinking 16 or 13 Times?

I had been refilling my Canon iP2770 and lately I encountered a problem (after refilling the cartridges) where the orange LED indicator is blinking rapidly for 16 times a cycle. If you happen to also experience this or in other cases 13 times, that means your cartridge is being read as fully consumed. Gladly, buying a new Canon 810 or 811 cartridge is not an option yet. You can still use the old ones and refill it up to its lifespan.

How to Solve "Incompatible Cartridge" in HP D1660 Printer?

If you are engaged in refilling your ink either personally or through a refilling station, you can encounter this problem with HP printers. The new HP printers are now equipped with cartridges which have micro chips inside that inform users with the ink level or if the cartridge is refilled or depleted. I had this problem when I bought HP D1660 printer and I refilled the introductory cartridges (Black and Tri-color HP 60). You should never refill the introductory cartridge that comes with your printer if you want to use your printer for long. I know that D1660 is the cheapest HP printer around, but still it costs you money to buy that right? So, don't do what I did if you don't want to spend more money in service repairs. Buy a new cartridge first to replace the introductory cartridge and help yourself with the refilling.

I haven't used my printer for two months and the cartridges inside were read as incompatible, I tried to replace it repeatedly to the printer but the problem persist. So I gave up and brought it to repairs. And the technician informed me that the cartridges are no longer reusable and I have to buy a new one. I bought one and printed pages until the cartridge was drained and the printer read it as depleted even if I refilled it. Again, another cartridge went to trash. Once your ink cartridge was read as "Incompatible Cartridge" or "Depleted or Used" by your HP printer, it can no longer be rescued nor reused, don't give hope on that and say bye-bye already. Even the ones that buy used cartridges will not spend even a peso for something that can no longer be recycled. It's already in it's "disposable" condition.
