Re: [Digital BW] Re: Epson 1430 with MIS cartridge - easy way to reset empty status?

2013-02-27 by Paul Roark

I would not say I totally ignore the Epson ink monitor.  Yesterday, for
example, my 1100 stopped mid-job.  It indicated one of the carts "could not
be recognized."  I pulled the cart, and it was near empty.  So, to filled
all of the carts.  The printing job finished without any wasted paper or
evidence that I had to re-fill carts in the middle of the print.  That
works well for me.
