Canon G7090 Ink Absorber Full Reset
An absorber warning on Canon G7090 does not necessarily mean that the printer is mechanically damaged. The software counter and the physical pads must be considered separately.

Wic Reset Connect is designed to reset the compatible counter in Canon G7090. The physical waste ink system should still be inspected and maintained when necessary.
