I am green in this topic since the beginning of the purchase of the printer I used only original cartridges but I wanted to find out about replacements in the form of ink bottles that can be used to refill used cartridges. Has anyone managed to replenish and work because I have heard of some chips that supposedly alert that despite the replenishment the cartridge is empty. Maybe someone has heard about cheap and proven substitutes?
You can refill the original cartridges, which, if they run out, just hold down the red button for 8 seconds then the ink level check will turn off and you can continue printing. There are many instructions for this. Drill the holes under the stickers and pour the ink there with the syringe. I recommend pouring 5 ml of black into black cartridges, and 3.5 ml color then there is no chance that the cartridge will get aerated. Enter golge canon 545, 546 refill and there are instructions on YouTube and written.
They should be ok, just ask if refill tools (syringes, needles) are included. I personally use the INK-MATE mascara for regeneration, they have a good composition and the head does not dry out.
Maybe the ink you used for regeneration was not the best quality, I recommend using the original Canon GI-490 inks for the regeneration of these cartridges
Ok, I bought the ink, I replenished the black but somehow prints the shade on the sheet is gray as if the printer did not draw ink from the cartridge.
Haven't you sealed the groove on the top of the cartridge by accident? It's a bit like a canned liquid, if you make only one hole in it, it won't fly, and if you make a second hole, it will fly. It's analogous with the cartridge.

I have the same printer and a few days ago I bought a Canon MG 3050 which prints on the same cartridges as the MG 2450 because the cartridge with the color from the old printer is still in good condition. The cartridge with black color has partially clogged nozzles and soaks up the second week in chemistry. I poured ActivJet inks into MG 2450 and now I have a certain haze. Color and black inks were pigmented. According to the seller of other inks http://allegro.pl/zestaw-do-canon-pg-545-cl-546-mg-2250- 2950-300ml-i6785557581.html (I talked to the seller) in Canon, the black ink is pigmented and the dye is colored. This could explain why the nozzles in the cartridge with black color quite quickly clogged. However, I have doubts whether the seller is right. He told me that Canon does not produce colored pigment inks at all, and in this store the seller states in the description of the inks for the above-mentioned printers that the original black and colored inks that he sells are pigmented I don't know how it really is I was looking for information on the Canon website and does not state what pigment or dye inks to use. https://www.123drukuj.pl/Tusze-do-drukarek/Canon/Symbol-drukarki/Pixma/Pixma-MG3050-p155073.html You bought mascara http://allegro.pl/tusz-canon-pixma-mgma50mg-5025mg -ip2850-mg2455-i5148089046.html and I do not see there information what are these inks, whether pigment or dye. If you put pigment ink it is a cartridge with dye ink or vice versa, with high probability it will make a jelly that will quickly clog the nozzles. network and electrode you will find a description of the problem.

No exaggeration. Yesterday I bought syringes and needles at the pharmacy. Syringe 5ml - 19gr / pc, the thickest needle - 9gr / pc.
I have a question about the already mentioned Canon pixma mg3050 printer. How do you reset the inks? New ones are added, I have tried various miracles and the equipment still does not print. There are a lot of instructions on the Internet, but so far none have worked: /
