The Waste Ink Pad can easily be taken out and replaced with a hose and portable tank to catch all the waste ink from cleaning the heads, etc.
But Epson forces you to buy a new printer. Freakin stupid in my opinion. I will never buy another Epson Printer. What' sucks even more is the cost of ink. You can usually buy a NEW printer which comes with ink cartridges , than you can buy a full replacement of colored ink and black. Printer companies I understand make alot of money off their ink, but seriously, people are throwing away perfectly good printers and filling up the landfills, simply because it is cheaper than buying the replacement ink.
They work pretty good. You can usually do a search and find a firmwarre update for your specific epson printer that will reset the timer, but it only works once. Google for patents from Epson with keywords "printing material container".
I've never had a problem with the printer leaking ink If epson were smart, they would design their printers so the waste ink pads would come out easily and be replaced with new ones available for purchase I just find it extremely stupid that there are solutions to these problems, but manufacturers insist on doing it the way they currently are, and all it ends up doing is contributing to the landfill issues by people just throwing out the printers which otherwise still work perfectly fine.
I did notice that Epson came out with a new tank ink system, I think they finally caught on that they were losing money because people were buying these continuous ink systems and retrofitting them to their printers.
Printers still crap out after so many prints, regardless of whether or not the printer is actually broken.

Quote from: CJay on November 30, , am. I have a 10 year old Canon Pixma MP that has had nothing but refill ink since its "trial" tanks ran dry. It's one of those all in one that has a duplexing sheet feeder and duplexer output, which is why I bought it. Replaced it with an Epson Workforce WF, which is the same thing but can also do 11x17 sheets which is important for me schematics. So far, so good. I bought something like 6 full sets of ink from amazon so we'll see how it fares.
It will constantly tell you that your cartridge is not original, it will control the ink levels poorly and it will give you endless headaches so that in the end you end up going through the box. The fake cartridges get the original chips, they are reset, the batteries are changed … a show. Well, Canon is struggling with chip supplies for its laser multifunction printers.
But of course, as toner is a complementary good, they cannot stop manufacturing it and leave all their customers without consumables.
What can they do then? The decision of the Japanese has been clear and simple: to start selling ink cartridges without DRM chips. Luckily, Canon printers are quite permissive when we put a non-original spare part , and this is what Canon itself has wanted to convey to its customers, both on its support website and via e-mail.
However, if we look closely at the steps shown by Canon, we could say that avoiding the problem is as simple as ignoring the innumerable error messages that the machine is going to give us, each one with its peculiarities, of course.
These chips are simple. In some earlier Deskjet models, a printer only keeps track of two to three cartridges. If you rotate a few sets of cartridges, the printer will show full ink levels.
Also, you can remove the motherboard battery from the printer and create the same result. These tricks won't work in the newer models. However, the printer only asks two sets of questions:. Then the printer will let you print forever with this cartridge. The ink level will not be displayed after a threshold, but you can keep printing, and no software or hardware tool is required.
There is a bug in the HP firmware causing the "OK" button to not be displayed or not triggered by a physical button. It doesn't happen often. If it happens, try to do few things to interrupt the printer's routine. Examples include powering on and pressing the home button immediately, so you can jump to a different screen and then back to this screen.
You may find this "OK" screen is reloaded and functions well. These cartridges have an ink tank at one end and a sponge chamber on the other. There is no difference between a setup cartridge and regular cartridge but XL cartridges have a different physical design.
You can remove an OEM chip and then transfer it to your third party cartridge. One pro of going this route is that the chip is made by HP. Also, you know it has worked before and is compatible.
However, a con is that HP has re-designed the chip. The new style of cartridges will be equipped with non-removable chips which are pictured below to prevent you from doing just as we suggest above. There are new solutions to remove the chip, but they are still expensive. For the new style chip, you can use a rotary tool to hack out a do-it-yourself chip adapter:. These chips normally come green and are manufactured in China. HP encrypts the data, and there is no way to reset the chip, and there is no resetter that can bypass the protection.
Since HP devices cannot understand the data but the printer is instructed to print you can get it to work by turning off the ink level monitor.
The Pros to this chip is that these are new chips. The Cons are that the error rate of the chip is higher than the other two solutions. Once you get it working though it is as good as an original chip. These chips show full ink level at first and as they are used will reflect an accurate ink level just like a regular HP chip. The Pros is that it is new and shows a full tank. However, if you are looking for something cost effective the Con to this chip is that it is more expensive than both the OEM chip and ARC without ink level.
Even though the printer may throw error messages, have lights flashing, doing unnecessary page alignments, and display threatening warnings you can keep on printing. These cartridges do not have a sponge, a. By printer model: HP Officejet , , , a
