Hello. After reading the review on ECO4X.com's new ink I am inclined to purchase it for my Canon ip6600d printer. The article was really helpful and informative. My question is: Is this brand of replacement ink going to work correctly in my printer that needs an ink tank with a chip installed in it to work correctly? I went to a place in Tulsa,OK, that specializes in refilling your cartridge at a very respectable price. What happened was they took my cartridge to the back and told me it would be a few minutes so have a seat and wait. The problem started when I got home (an 80 mile round trip) and the cartridge refused to work. Called them and they eplained that they really didn't refill my original tank, but just replaced it with one of their own. Of course the replacement tank didn't have the chip and I would have to download some special drivers from their web site to make it work. Guess what? It didn't work afterwards either. So I ordered from Canon at a price that would make you choke. That's why I am wanting to be positive it will work before committing to purchase. I can't seem to get a reply from the ECO4X company so I come you all with hat in hand for your wonderful advice. Thanks.

If you can't get a response from the company, that's not a good indication. I would recommend that you not go that route then. If they were willing to respond in a positive manner and confirm it would work, they I would consider it after receiving independent confirmation as well.

Most of those inks and cartridges work better in the older printers that don't have a chip in them. There was also in the review the point that not all inks and cartridges work in all printers, and that if their is a problem, you are mostly stuck. If you are printing for personal ease of reading a document, and not real concerned about the image quality, you can change the print quality to draft which uses less ink.

Thank you so much for your timely answer! Very well thought out and informative! Of course I will take your advice and just not get involved with this company. I would rather just pay a little more, get the real McCoy, and adjust the print quality as is needed to make the ink cartridge last as long as possible. Have a great day, and once again your knowledgable answer is truely appreciated!

Hi, I have seen some ink cartridges offered without the chip installed at a very cheap price,usually these come with instructions on how to change over chip. how these work? I don't know. This is probably what happened when you got a different tank(it didn't have the chip.

Hope this helps
