trouble with Jettec Epson cartridge refill kit- help!
I recently purchased the Jettec refill kit for Epson cartridges. Yesterday,
my Epson 580 ran low on ink and I refilled all four cartridges by following the Jettec instructions exactly. The cartridges were then reinstalled and there has been no print ever since! I know it's not clogging because if I replace one of the refilled cartridges with an Epson, print is restored. What's going on? This ink is supposed to be guaranteed to work with my model of Epson printer. I've had this happen twice now; when I refilled before, I was eventually able to restore print just at random. I have tried running the cleaning cycles, but that doesn't do a thing. Thanks in advance for any help, Larry |

The cartridges are tracked by onboard software and/or a built in chip. If
they show empty, the software locks them out. To get them to work, you have to reset the software/chip. Do a search on the net and see if you can find software that will allow you to do this. Clark |

Clark I vaguely recall reading that the Epsons only remember two cartridges, that is, one can't be refilled and returned to use until after another 2 have been swapped in to clear out the entry for the former cartridges. Bascially this would mean anyone owning the printer would need buy two cartridges in addition to the original shipping with the printer, then refill & reuse by this 3 cartridge rotation method. Is this true, anyone? |

Clark Thanks, but I checked that out before coming here. This printer uses the TO13/14 cartridges so please correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't see a chip resetter for these. Larry |

Clark I tried the software solution and still no change. As to the chip resetter, both this model and cartridges are NOT listed so I'm guessing that the cartridges don't have a chip. I don't know what else could be wrong. Larry |

I don't know what else could be wrong. 1. You bought an Epson. They were topnotch in the days of the RX80, but no more. 2. You failed to buy a laser printer. The name of the inkjet game is to make you buy overpriced cartridges at ever decreasing intervals. This is not correlated with the amount of ink used. -- "If you want to post a followup via groups.google.com, don't use the broken "Reply" link at the bottom of the article.
