Canon Pixma MP170 Questions:

Q. Do you provide money-back guarantee on a single Canon Pixma MP170 ink cartridge or it is only applicable to a certain number of cartridges purchased together, as you offer on the pack of three?
A.
We provide money-back guarantee along with other services and facilities both on the multipack as well as on single ink cartridges.

Q. Is it right to use compatible Canon Pixma MP170 ink cartridges for the printer? I was wondering if using the compatible ones create a problem.
A.
Yes, it is perfectly alright if you use compatible ink cartridges. There’s nothing illegal about it as the manufacturer of the compatible cartridges does not violate any rules or regulation. It’s just that companies want their consumers to buy the original brands, hence keep issuing strict warnings. You can overlook such warnings and make sure you do use the compatible cartridges which are in every way on par with the original cartridges.

Q. My printer (Canon Pixma MP170) has stopped printing, even though some ink is there in the cartridges. I observe an ink warning message, whenever I install a pack of new cartridges in my printer. What should I do to resolve this issue?
A.
The ink-level monitor is activated in your printer to alert you about the ink level being low. To make your printer work again, you can disable the ink monitor (by following the instructions that pop up on your screen) to stop that from happening. When you change the ink cartridges, it will happen on its own. Also, please note that when the ink monitor is disabled, the ink level indicator for the concerned ink cartridge does not remain visible and the printer will continue printing even when there’s no ink in it. You need to ensure that there’s sufficient ink left in every cartridge for printing.
