Epson Cartridge Reset Circuit
So when a cartridge circuit fails, your printer will recognise this and tell you of a problem. Perform a Factory Reset and a Cartridge RESEAT to reset the ink counters and enable it to put ink on the paper. I have just successfully reset my Epson XP322 & XP425 printers, using this program and by purchasing 2 keys.
Extend the Life of Printer Ink CartridgesIf you’ve got an ink jet printer then you’re likely spending a lot of money on ink. Most of these printers use expensive and sophisticated ink cartridges. These cartridges monitor usage and estimate the amount of ink remaining. The estimate is usually conservative, meaning it indicates you are out of ink before you’re really out of ink.If you reset this memory then you can keep printing until the cartridge is actually empty. Depending on the brand and model of cartridge, this reset is actually really easy. If you look above the small circuit board on the cartridge, there is sometimes a pinhole reset button, kind of like.Check out the following video to see a demonstration.I should also note that not all cartridges can be reset in this way. Here are a couple of sites that show other methods of resetting some cartridges.Doing a cartridge reset is also useful if you refill your own cartridges, since the cartridge may report that it’s empty even after you refill it.
If you do a lot of color printing, you may consider generic cartridges or even a continuous ink system:I should also mention that laser printers have become extremely cheap. I rarely print in color, so a black and white laser printer is very cost effective for me. When I need to print photos, there are lots of drug stores or department stores that do a great job for a low price.

If I need to print color documents, there are many great places to get that done at a reasonable price too. With a $100 laser printer, you’re often able to print thousands of pages of text on the toner cartridge that is included.Big thanks to Derek Santos for sending the video and inspiring this post.Broken Secrets.

Epson Ink Cartridge Reset Tool
Chips, chip resetters and ink level resetting.Take a look at just about any ink cartridge these days and you'll probably find a small integrated circuit board, attached to it somewhere. It is usually green in colour, with few gold plated electrical contacts. This is the cartridge chip.Epson ink chipWhen a 'chipped' ink cartridge is installed in printer, the chip is lined up against an array of pins that connect it into the printer's electronic circuitry. The main function of the chip is to identify the ink cartridge (it's attached to) to the printer. It can store all sorts of other information as well, including estimated ink level, installation and expiry date etc. The ink level data is progressively re-written as the ink gets used up. And when the chip reaches certain ink level (5-15%), some printers are programmed to grind to a halt and display 'ink may have run out' or 'cartridge not recognised' error.Ok.this may seem like a good feature. It's handy to know how much ink you have left and for the printer to warn you, before it runs out (of ink). True.but what if you want to refill the ink cartridge or use up the remaining ink?While some printers can be forced to print again - by overriding the ink monitor, some simply stop and refuse to work until the 'offending' ink cartridge/tank is replaced - or reset using a chip resetter. What can you do about ink chips?How the ink level monitoring is achieved, how the information is stored, how it affects you and what you can do about it - depends on what printer make and model you have.and what is currently available for it.Click on your printer make link (or pic.) below for more information, or to to buy a chip resetter.Can't find Chip resetterinformation (for your printer model) on these pages?Sub Categories.
