Refillable Epson ink cartridges (auto reset) Updated Dec 2012
...also available for earlier model Epson printers (click here) with manual-reset chips
Late model Epson (genuine) ink cartridges are not suitable for refilling. Epson have refill-proofed most current Epson ink cartridges and chips - to make Epson ink cartridge refilling as difficult as possible.
If you want to refill any recent Epson 73, 73N, 81N, 82N, 103, T132, T133, T138, T140, T200, 676XL etc ink cartridges...you need to get some refillable ink cartridges.
Refillable Epson ink cartridges make refilling Epson printers not only possible, but easy as well...
Refillable ink cartridges are designed specifically for refilling. Refilling is as generally as easy as removing a rubber plug from the top, squirting in a syringe full of ink and fitting the plug back in. Doesn't get much easier...
Refillable ink cartridges featured on this page are supplied with auto-resetting (ARC) ink level chips, to deal with the Epson ink monitor issues. You don't need a chip resetter or any other software/hardware to reset the ink levels. ARC chips reset automatically, when an "empty" cartridge is removed from printer and installed back in (with power ON). The reset technology is built into the cartridge chips and does it all for you. Clever stuff...
Auto-reset refillable ink cartridges/chips are now available for most Epson printer models, including the latest Artisan, R, NX, TX, and Workforce models (see below).
All Epson refillable ink cartridges listed on this page are compatible with Australian & New Zealand printers only. Please contact us to order refillable Epson cartridges - if you live in another country. They are not on this website, but available.
Some features of refillable Epson cartridges:
Very easy to refill - again and again
Fill hole and plug already in place - no drilling necessary
Compatible auto-reset chip fitted
Self sealing ink exit valve prevents ink leaking out and air getting in after refilling
"No sponge" construction reduces air locks and foaming up of ink
See through design lets you see exactly how much ink there is inside
Refillable Epson ink cartridges have been around for many years and have come a long way since the early "vacuum fill" type. Although most models still look similar, all recent refillable cartridges use completely different internal design. They are now self priming, so refilling is even easier than it used to be. Some refillable ARC cartridges/chips come with a miniature battery included on the chip to enable ARC function in some current model Epsons. Some other models have a reset button on each cartridge.

Ink chip issues...
Cartridge chip recognition is an ongoing problem with some late model Epson printers. Epson keep periodically changing the chip recognition firmware - to discourage the use of non-epson ink cartridges and/or refilling empty Epson cartridges. To combat this, compatible/refillable cartridge/chip engineers have to frequently update the chip firmware in line with the Epson updates. The end result is higher (refillable cartridge) prices due to the extra re-development, manufacturing and replacing obsolete chips expenses, but can be inconvenient to the end users (you), if the cartridges you bought don't get recognised in your printer.
Without a crystal ball on hand, it's impossible for the chip makers to predict - when next Epson update will be released, let alone to compensate for it in advance. And because Epson can (and do) sneak their changes in with not only new printer releases and later manufactured batches of current printer models, but even in older printers registered for "software updates", there's no way for anyone to know what chip will work in any Epson printer...other than guessing.
Tip: Disable automatic software updates from Epson - to minimise chip compatibility issues. If you installed the printer drivers already and ticked "ALLOW UPDATES"...you can DISABLE future updates by either uninstalling printer software, then re-installing same (ticking "DECLINE UPDATES" in the process) or by changing the settings in "Driver updates" on the "Maintenance" page under "Printer properties". This will not remove any current update, but will prevent future updates.
Note: All cartridges listed on this page are fitted with the latest version chips available and should work fine in all Epson printer models mentioned above (and more). If you experience cartridge recognition, or any other issue with refillable ink cartridges/chips, please contact us.
Auto-reset cartridges MUST BE FITTED AS A SET... will not work mixed with compatible or Epson cartridges! Fitting ARC and Epson cartridges at the same time can damage the chips!
