Do these read accurate ink levels as they are being used? or do they only recognize full and empty?

They show a range of estimate ink remaining - not just full and empty.The ink indicator works the same was the OEM cartridges do; it estimates how much ink is remaining based upon the number and type of pages printed.

I have never had a problem with printer's ink except once when I was sent an empty cartridge HP.they sent me another immediately .....make sure your cartridge is full.

I normally use them before they expire. But I can say that printer will not know the ink levels with these cartridges.

are both ink boxes new? If not it will still keep warning you that the ink is empty,

I recognize similar behavior in the refills I purchased/use. I say they issue very full amounts of ink initially. I wouldn't call them duds. Frankly I've had to replace these when I not used them for 'n' days and they were more difficult/less fun to write with. Not sure they're duds maybe the norm?

Sorry, I didn't even check that. They worked fine. The printer has since died so I won't be able to know how long the ink lasts either.

Mine work fine. Let me verify... Yes I am on my second black. Truth be told I feel like I'm getting about 50-75% of the ink of OEM but for the price It works. Sorry to hear that you've had trouble. Do a head cleaning with an old cart. Hope this helped. Tommy :)

Don't know, but I used these cartridges successfully in October/November to print a few pages and as of March they don't work in the printer anymore. They register >95% full of ink but the printer no longer recognizes them for printing.

They are currently working, however, I am getting the yellow caution triangle on all cartridge ink levels. It's annoying and makes it appear that that ink levels are low. I just recently installed the cartridges and should not be receiving this message.

Victoria, I have had them two weeks and they are working fine. The unused ones have a good seal on the ink discharge point and each cartridge is sealed in a air tight plastic wrapper. I don't anticipate them drying out.

We have the HP8500 and yes, the ink levels show up. I am very sorry to be late in answering this question, the reminder email went into my junk mail and I just saw it today.

I believe they do. It was suggested that after installing the cartridges you disconnect hour printer for about a minute. Then you will see the ink levels register.

Yes, you can check the ink levels from the display screen on the printer. I don't have this printer, but I have an MP-600 that you can do that on. If you go to the Canon website and watch the video about the 620, you can plainly see in the video that the same "Remaining Ink Levels" prompt is on the little screen. You simply push the button under that to check the levels. Hope that helps, even though you asked a long time ago. ;)

Once the cartridge registers as empty, turn the printer off and back on again and the cartridge will register as full. Mine wouldn't reset until after it thinks it's empty.

They are supposed to be HP xl cartridges so I expect that they have the HP specified amount of ink. My 8600 tells me that one of the cartridges I received from them is a refill.

Hi Henry, I have not used the black ones yet but my Brother MFC-J45100W does show me for each ink color.

Yes they do. The driver app on the PC detects the cartridge change and shows it as full. It even has the little light on each cartridge. :)
