In this segment of the video, the focus is on the new Canon printers, Pro 200 and Pro 300. The speaker discusses that while these printers have some improvements and new features, there may not be a significant need for refillers to switch to these models. The Pro 100 and Pro 10 printers have resetters available for their cartridges, allowing for chip resets and maintaining ink level indication. However, the Pro 200 cartridges are missing an optical prism, making it challenging for refillers as they cannot see the ink levels in the cartridge. The speaker explains the process of modifying the cartridge to inject ink directly into the chamber visually, adjusting the ink level accordingly.

In this part of the video, the speaker discusses a method to use transparent cartridges on a printer without the ability to reset their chips. The suggestion is to carefully transfer a compatible chip to the transparent cartridges from a different model (CLI I 65 from a Pro 200 series). The chips must then be disabled to allow the printer to recognize the cartridges. Precision colors website provides instructions on how to disable the chips. The video emphasizes the importance of monitoring ink levels manually since the printer will no longer display physical ink levels once the chips are disabled. The speaker advises checking and refilling cartridges regularly, especially focusing on colors that tend to deplete faster based on previous usage patterns.

In this segment, the speaker discusses the importance of regularly topping off printer ink cartridges to avoid running them empty and potentially causing harm to the printhead. They mention the practice of weighing cartridges to determine ink levels, particularly for the Epson XP 15000 and the Epson 300 printers. It is highlighted that there is no warning system for low ink levels with disabled chips, emphasizing the need to create a schedule for topping off ink every two weeks. The importance of careful planning and monitoring ink levels is stressed, especially for those using the Epson 200 and 300 printers for refilling ink.
