Updated October 2008 In order to refill ANY late model Epson printer ink cartridge, some method of resetting (rewriting the ink chip) is needed. Without it, you are wasting your time refilling Epson ink cartridges... inkbank.com.au This is the situation at the moment... Epson printer ink cartridges could be sorted into three main groups according to ink chip design: Recent Early Wide format All current desktop printer ink cartridges fall into group #1 and all the rest into group #2. Group 3 covers most wide format Epson ink cartridges. There are several different chip resetters available to deal with the chips. They all look the same, but each resetter will only work with the chips it is designed for. Group #1 & #3 resetters can be used on genuine, compatible and refill friendly ink chips, group #2 resetter only resets refill friendly chips designed to be reset - not genuine Epson. Resetting any chip is very easy and it only takes few seconds to reset an empty ink chip from any state to full. Simply align the resetter pins with the gold contacts on a chip and press the two together for 6-9 seconds. There is a LED on the resetter which starts off red and turns green when the reset is completed. That's it! There are three small battery cells inside, which last for hundreds of resets. The devices are very reliable and usually work for years. Take care not to get the pins wet as this can cause corrosion. YXD-268 will reset all ink cartridges/chips in group #2 including: T007, T008, T009, T017, T018, T026, T027, T028, T029, T038, T039, T0321~324, T0341~348, T0422~424, T0441~444, T0461~474, T0481~486, T0491~496, T0540~549, T0561~564, T0631~634 and few more. YXD-368 will reset most wide format ink cartridges/chips including these models: 4000, 7000, 9000, 10000, 4600, 7600, 9600, 10600. YXD-968 resets the latest Epson ink cartridges/chips with either original or compatible ink chips. It is compatible with R260, R265, R360, R380, Photo 1400 & D78 cartridges. YXD-968A resets C79, C90, C92, C110, CX3900, CX4900, CX5900, CX6900, CX7300, CX9300, R290 and Photo 1410 cartridges/chips (T0731~734 & T0821~826), but only MRC (manual reset chips) designed to be reset. It will not reset original or generic cartridges with single use one-time chips. You can find refill friendly cartridges (with manual reset chips) for these printers here, or cartridges with auto-reset chips (ARC) here. This resetter is not sold separately, it is useless without matching chips. Please contact us if you need more info. Another way to reset the ink level(s) of some Epson cartridges is with software from SSC. You can download it for free from: http://www.ssclg.com/epsone.shtml. You can also use it to reset printer maintenance errors, get a display of accurate ink levels, ...and a whole lot more. It's available for most Epson printers, but not all features work with all models. Some people seem to have a problem using it, but it is really easy, if you know how. Click here for instructions... Older Epson printers (pre intellidge) reset automatically every time a cartridge is replaced. Even if you fit an empty cartridge, it will show full in the "Status monitor" without having to do anything else. No chips, no hassles...
