I have problems resetting the inkcartage-chips on my Blazer based on a Epson 4880. If i try to resett a chip and it doesnīt work, I can try over and over again and never get the chip to work again. The machine just say "Set Ink Cart" or "Wrong Ink Cart". Is there anybody else that have the same problem or a solution..? Iīve tried both the blue resetter and and new one i got today which is white with a "resett buttom"
There is a rumble that Epson has changed the way that they write the ink check algorithims - we may be seeing the early stages of what is to come in the aftermarket ink chip world.
Iīve had the machine since feb. Itīs not all cartridges, Iīt have happened 2-3 times before, so iīve taken the chips from the cleaning-cartridges. This time is no. 8 with white ink. But this time the "cleaning-chip" doesnīt work eather... And USS havo no new chips.. so here I stand...
Sorry to hear that. But you should keep system clean out before all line clogged from not using printer for while. Ask USS how to. It probably same as Flexi Jet but I do not want to give you wrong advise.
In my opinion 4880 Chip code break is still not mature yet. But it will because there are money in it.
Also I forgot to tell you. I do not recommend change chips because it could cause you big headache with miss little bit chip location. If you bending contact hook you will pull all your hair out. Just change the whole cartridge. Little more money but much safer.
Peo - My support department should have been in contact with you today. We do have chips and to my knowledge have had very limited problems with this, so we will get you fixed up right away.
Hi Peo, are you using 4880 as a dtg? because you are having problems with white you said.
If so can you explain what have you done, Please.
The new Blazerīs har based on a Epson 4880. Iīve just resetted the chip when the printer says itīs out of ink and need new cartridge. I have and "Old" Blue resetter and maybe it that one cousing problems...
Chronic chips going bad could be a handling problem related to static. These chips tend to be very sensitive to static.
Before removing cartridges, GROUND yourself- maybe the base of your machine would work. Remove the cartridges and reset them right there at the machine. Do not move them around or slide them around. Reset and re-insert the cartridge right away. Some people have told me they prefer to have the machine turned off and unplugged when they reset cartridges, as an added precaution. Some also spray the print bed and printer and wipe down with anti-static spray just before resetting. Definitely use extra caution if static is a general problem in the printer area.
I have also heard that this is a big problem with chips. Are the chips specific per color?
Have anyone tried the "auto-resetting" chips? This one for example: Set of 8 Refillable Cartridges for the Epson 4880
