dose anyone know how to use remaining ink left in epson printers when system says no ink left but there stil i

Question

cartridge is half full and printer says that they are empty, can I bypass this and use remaining ink???

Answer 1

Do not bother about the indicator. Continue using the printer so long as the quality of prints is ok.

Answer 2

All you have to do is keep printing until you run out of ink completely.

Let's face it, if the document doesn't print properly you simply put in a new cartridge.

Those ink indicators are only arbitrary assessments of what Epson's printer software think is remaining. They are not all that accurate at all and Epson has a class action suit against them because of it.

I'm not sure if you can still sign up to be a part of it, but check it out anyway. Here's the web page.

Also a great place to buy ink cartridges at about 10% the cost at Epson or Staples, etc. is the following site. I've been using these cartridges for years with no problems at all. They are not refills, they are brand new, 2nd source cartridges.

I have given up on cartridges... I use Continuous Ink, works out at Epson Cart =£6.50, Continuous ink, £00.40.

This is a UK link, but you'll find local source.

Answer 4

The print cartridge has a touch chip in it that counts and makes use of time. lots of them have ink left in spite of the indisputable fact that the time expired. On my dads printer, i stumbled on a touch software that reset the counter/timer and he refilled it himself. Google on your printer type and the words counter reset.

Answer 5

not that I've heard of. that's why Epson got into a class action law suit.

Answer 6

Remove cartrige and shake it from left to right and reinstall it.
