The message is not staying on the topic but it 'll save your guys some $$$.

When the ink level reach to 0, the system will ask you to change the ink cartridge but in fact, it still contain around 38% of the ink.

If I can bypass the Epson software, I can use 100% of the ink instead of 62%
Does anyone knows if there is a solution for it?
I am using R200 but the ink cost is killing me.

Just done my reserach on the reset kit.
I found few websites that provide the refill solution with auto reset chip.
Few questions:
1) Does anyone ever try to use the refill kit?
My friend had bad experience about the needle type refill ink and suggest me to stay away from it.
2) Will the kit void my warranty or break my printer head? I know the printer is not expensive but if I have a job to complete, I would not take any chance.
3) What about the ink quality? It may save me few dollars here but to trade few dollasr with quality is not a good idea.

On refilling, it's a risky business.

First, with droplet size getting smaller and smaller, the viscosity of the ink becomes even more vital. Stick some ink in there that's slightly too thick, and your printer is hosed. Second, if image quality is important, you're not going to have a clue of what you'll get with third party ink - and I've yet to see no-name ink give equal (let alone better), quality than the manufacturers ink. Third, you can throw any hope of print longevity out the window.

On trying to wring every ounce of ink out of a cartridge, it's a risky business.

If you go too far and run out of ink, you'll suck air into the system ... and your printer is hosed. Can you really estimate accurate enough to stop just short of "empty"?

Ink is expensive but it's cheaper than a new printer. (the good printers anyway) Personally, I change cartridges when the printer tells me to.

Great info, ANDREWMIGLIORE.

Keep it coming...

ANDREWMIGLIORE, thanks for your post! very informative.


Can you also research on the R800 with sublimation ink?

I am paying very expensive sublimation ink cartridge for Epson 1280.

I've heard that Epson is going to launch out the A3 format of R800 which is R1800.

I am looking for some bulk inkking or refill solution for R1800

There is only printers who only estimate as best they can how much ink is
left by estimating how much ink has been used since the supply was first
installed, that is inkjet printer. Because consumers use ink differently, there is naturally some variability in the
estimate of how much ink has been used.On the other way we always should be used Hp ink , it's is the one of best ink in the market and produce a picture very sharply and clearly.
