In order to maintain the best printing, the ink used when Cleaning is absorbed into the ink absorber inside the printer. The ink absorber requires the replacement when it is full.
The error "Ink Absorber Full" means that the internal ink absorber or flushing box will need to be replaced. The need to replace these items and the time period before replacement is dependent on the number of purges and flushes required to clean the ink system.
How to override the low ink error. We advise disabling the status monitor in your Canon printer. Simply hold the printer's stop/reset button for 20 seconds.

A Canon printer's lifespan generally ranges from 3-5 years for inkjet models and 5-7 years for laser models, but this varies greatly with usage, maintenance, and model quality, with some home units lasting longer with consistent care, and high-volume office machines exceeding 10 years. Key factors are regular use to prevent clogs, using genuine Canon supplies, and performing basic cleaning, with proper upkeep potentially doubling typical expectations.
Just above the circuit board on most printer cartridges, you'll find a small button. You've seen these tiny buttons before on cell phones, phone chargers, etc. This is your reset button, and the only way to get in there is either with a paper clip or the tip of a pen (which will leave a tiny ink smudge on the button).
