How do I reset Epson Ink Cartridge ?

J

Jibberd

Guest
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

be able to sell you a refill kit which you do not have to be a genius to
use.

that operate on sundays. to find locations look in the green guide on
