Epson Chips
Posted by vic on September 30th, 2003


I re-ink and sometimes I have to remove the chip. Now I find I must mixed
some colour and black chips. They look identical. Does anybody know if the
printer would know the diference if a black chip and colour were reversed.
Don't want to experiment yet!!
Thanks, Mac

No problems refilling so far?

Yes, there's a specific chip for a specific color.

I dont know about other Epson Cartridges, but the chips on the T008/T007
carts (Epson Photo 785 EPX and LOTS of others) are isentical chips, but
some of them WONT reset, and need to be replaced when the cart is re-
filled.

When I buy new chips (about $2.00 (US)) from my supplier, they just put
'em in a little static proof package, there is no designation
color/black.

The printer knows the difference between black and color chips but printer
still works. I have seen a epson printer (1280/1290) having two "blacks",
the ink monitor still works too.
