How do I reset Epson Ink Cartridge?

[Jibberd]

I have an Epson C41UX and the damn thing zips thru ink cartridges and
now I learn that it may not even be using all the ink in the tank.

My local suppliers are happy to refil and reset this chip but at a
cost that exceeds a cheapy no name.

ANyone know of a way I can reset these chips myself?

I know the standard disclaimers on using non genuine inks and their
potential for damage but I've already spent more on cartriges than the
printer and I'm not all that happy with the printer anyway so I'm
happy to run it into the ground. I won't be buying Epson again!

Any help appreciated

Do you have any clues about the meaning of 'CAD'?

Thanks for your reply but if you didn't have any schematics, circuits
or pcb layouts for a reprogrammer, you could have just said.

I was hoping someone had already designed one here or may be inspired
to design one. Any takers?

And this is a group about CAD tools for Electronics. So, you're on the wrong
place.
