Epson CX3810 ink refill (noob questions)
Hi all,
I have an Epson CX3810 printer-copier-scanner which I like a lot and which has "run out" of black ink for the first time. However, I'm quite sure that it hasn't really run out since the black cartridge makes sloshing noises when I shake it :-) Because the brand name cartridges are so expensive, I wanted to get a refill kit and a chip resetter, but there are so many places selling these and not sure if they're all equally good. One I've found is at: http://www.re-inks.com/Epson-classic...lus-CX3810.asp If I get their 18-refill black ink kit and the universal chip resetter, will I be all set? Can anyone confirm that the universal chip resetter will work correctly with the CX3810 cartridges? The blank ink cartridge is model T0601 according to the label on it. Am I stupid to try refilling ink? Should I just buy generic replacement cartridges and be done with it? Is re-inks.com an okay place to buy from? Thanks for any help or suggestions! Dan Lenski |

Dan Lenski Cannot vouch for the chip re setter or your model printer. Try ALOTOFTHINGS.COM http://www.alotofthings.com/viartsho...9&item_id=1116 They have a good reputation for quality products. I have been using their inks, Formulabs, in a Canon 6000D and get stunning results.. Just won a couple ribbons in an amateur photo contest, with printouts using their inks.. |

Don't know personally, but from reading the page, if you get their virgin refillable cartridge, they have auto reset chips installed Dave..... |

I I found them to be unprofessional. It is best to use OEM ink. The only exception is if your printload is that heavy and you are willing to lower your standards somewhat for the sake of money and you will print so much before your printhead goes south. have been using their inks, Formulabs, in a Canon 6000D and get stunning results..

Measekite is a well known troll who haunts this group. Ignore him. My
advice is, every time you buy an ink refill, bank the difference between its price and the OEM refill. When you have banked the price of the next printer you want to own, stop. After that time, you're coasting. Simple. Measekite is autistic, and he cannot help doing what he does. It is best just to ignore him. |

So, if I understand correctly: the stock cartridges CANNOT BE RESET. However, if I get non-OEM cartridges, I can refill them and they will never need resetting? Dan |
