Digital BW, The Print

If you have the old carts lying around I would use the chips from them
on the new ones. The chip is secured to the cartridge with two tiny
pieces of plastic. You only need to cut the top one of these to remove
the chip. You'll see it as a flat circle just above the epson logo on
the chip. Cut it carefully and you can just lift off the chip. If you do
it this way there will be still be enough plastic left to hold the chip
securely once you replace the new chips with the ones from the old
carts.

You will also need a chip resetter. I'm using the one from MIS.

Good luck!
