The need for a chip resetter is confusing. The descriptions of the carts
on the Cone site state:

"Refillable Cartridges use spongeless design with "ARC" auto reset chips
that can be reset by turning printer off, or reset automatically when
cartridge reaches about 90% empty."

Ok, got that. But the resetter pdf instructions (from
http://shopping.netsuite.com/c.362672/site/techdocs/ACC-RESETTER-7P_2013.pdf)
say:

"Desktop refillable cartridges can be refilled and reused many times.
The ARC chips are designed to reset automatically when a cartridge reads
empty, is removed from the printer, refilled with ink and reinstalled."

So far so good. But it goes on to say:

"In order to refill several carts at once and manually reset the chip
ink levels, a chip resetter must be used."

Ok, they've lost me. Why can't I refill a bunch of them and as I take
them out, they automatically reset? What is this really saying?

It's just $20, but still, if the carts themselves auto reset, then why
is there a need for a resetter?
