Digital BW, The Print

I use a sharp knife to shave the plastic pins even with the existing chip,
then it pops right off.  I then use about a 1/8 inch (3 mm) strip of tape at
the top of the chip to hold the new chip in place.  I have some white photo
tape about 1" (25 mm) wide that I cut into the small strips as needed.  It's
a bit thicker, more durable and more re-usable than typical transparent
tape.

 

MIS has a "silly-putty" type material it recommends behind the chip.  I find
the tape much easier to deal with.  Usually when I go to change chips the
tape carries the chip with it, and I re-use the tape with chip on the next
cart without ever having to touch the chip itself.  I don't know how long
these chips last or how many times I can reset them, but most keep going a
long time.

Subject: [Digital BW] Chip Installation

 

What's the recommended way to change/install cartridge chips? (I'm using 
an R2400 with MIS K4 ink, and I've been thinking of trying Paul's LLK in 
place of the yellow cartridge for BW.) Should one use glue, tape or ? 
Any advice appreciated.

Thanks,
Peter De Smidt
