Canon OEM CLI-8 4-tank Empty Flushed Set, Drilled with free Plugs, Storage Clips

Description

I have other auctions selling full 8 tank CLI-42 and CLI-8 carts.  But this auction is strictly focused on the huge number of OTHER Canon printers that use 4 tank CLI-8 cartridges (BK,C,M,Y)  Most of these printers also use a WIDER Black PGI-5 Cart.  I have the 5 tank set in another auction. This auction was created for new or veteran refillers that need a 4 tank CLI-8 solution.  As you see in the pics, a 6-tank option is also available for more.  Contact me if you want the 6-tank option.
This auction was just switched to FREE SHIPPING !  More savings for you.
We love our Canon printers but we hate that they run out of ink so fast and we have to pay a lot for each new cartridge. As soon as you replace one, another one goes out.  An easy solution is to get educated on how to refill your own cartridges with quality ink using a tried and tested procedure.
For the CLI-8 cartridges, this starts with the highest quality dye inks from a place like Precision Colors or Octoink UK.  They will advise you to get original Canon OEM cartridges with original chips and stay away from those leaky and poorly fitting compatible cartridges that have
non re-settable
chips.  Further, their kit will show you how to prepare an OEM cart for refilling by using a difficult procedure to remove the "ball" from the cart, drilling the filler hole out to the perfect diameter for the rubber tab style plug that they want to sell you, and to tack on their orange storage clips for another dollar each.
Empty Canon original OEM CLI-8 cartridges are hard to come by now and Precision Colors stopped selling them so getting a complete set for refill purposes is a rarity.  And finding sets that are already prepped and dried that include storage clips and plugs.... well, I'm the ONLY one selling such a set.  And once I sell the limited amount of sets that I have, I will only be able to sell individual cartridges.
The filler ball has been removed, the carts have been expertly flushed to pristine white* and then all cartridges are dried to 13.6 grams or less. The filler hole has been drilled to 5/32" for accommodating the high quality rubber tab style "plug" which I provide for you and the orange storage clip is included to make it easy to do "mess free" filling and "stand-up" storage.  Y
ou'll get 4 with this lot plus 4 tabbed style black plugs.
A resetter has been used to reset these cartridges to full, but you are advised to acquire one for your own use.  I can help direct you to a good place to purchase one.
Every cartridge in this lot has never been refilled, just flushed, drilled and dried.  Every cart has it's original Canon CLI-8 OEM chip. In short, if you're interested in saving money by refilling your 3-4 tank Canon printer that uses CLI-8 cartridges, I've done all the work for you. You'll find it's a lot easier to use your own ink from wherever you want to buy it from.  These cartridges should last for at least up to 50+ refills or more each.  I have CLI-42 carts that are still working fine after 60 refills so far.
If you're new to refilling or if you have been doing your own, this will get you an extra perfect set which are ready to go right now !
A
lot of work went into prepping these perfect empty cartridges and doing it RIGHT, which YOU don't have to do.  Please be sure to read the feedback on all of the others who have bought these from me so far. Over 150 of these units have been sold with zero returns.  (referring to CLI-42 cartridges which I sell MAINLY) See my other auction for just the Orange Storage Clips, 8 in a batch and just the black or color filler plugs.  Also, the more popular CLI-42 cartridge sets for the Canon Pro-100.
It should also be mentioned that these cartridges can be used for direct replacements to the CLI-42 sets - but you will need to remove the CLI-8 chips from these and substitute CLI-42 chips instead.
Be careful of those selling "compatible" cartridges that look like Canon OEM.  They have erased out the Canon logo at the top. Compatibles do not fit well so they can leak and their chips cannot be reset.  Beware also of those selling cart sets that have been refilled many times already.  At some point, these may no longer absorb ink.  Mine have NEVER been refilled so will have a much longer refill life.
One more thing.  If you do buy these, you are expected to fully test and report back any problems within 30 days.  After that time has passed, I cannot warranty any part of this set.
*Cyan and may show a slight tinge of color in the cartridges at the sponge juncture. This does not affect their ability to perform perfectly when refilled. ("EU only" and "Setup" cartridges work in ALL Canon.  They also hold the same amount of ink as "US" or regular cartridges)
My documentation shows that the following printers all use CLI-8 carts.  Keep in mind that the chip included with this set are the originals and they have already been reset.
