While print with canon mp160 using CISS system.. ink tank shows that the ink is low.. but it still can print. Why this happen? I had checked my CISS its working very well. But the tank still show ink tank low.

It's warning you to BUY some ink NOW before it stops and says "ink tank empty"
Like a fuel gauge on a car shows a warning light BEFORE you run out and the engine stops.

The ink tank has a chip that does not know if you have ink in it or not, it merely counts the amount of ink used and reports that it is near empty or empty even after you have refilled it. when it has run empty, it will give you an error and stop message (change cartridge). When this happens, simply hold down the RESUME button for 3-5 seconds then release. The ink counter will now be disabled and you can print with no more ink low or ink out messages. :)
