Frequently Asked Questions

 

The black print cartridge is full, but why is my Canon PIXMA MP540 not printing in black?

Check to see if the orange tape that comes with the cartridge has been completely removed. If not, then remove it before you put the cartridge back into the printer.

 

What is your product guarantee?

All Carrot Ink brand products come with a full-year money-back guarantee. So, if you are not happy with your ordered product, let us know and we’ll give you a full refund of the purchase price as long as it’s within a year of your purchase.

 

My printer says it’s running out of black ink—can I stop the low ink warning from displaying without installing a new cartridge yet?

Yes. You can temporarily disable the ink level detection function of your printer. Simply press and hold down the STOP/RESET button on the printer for about 7 seconds, and then release it.
