Digital BW, The Print

I think since I've been using resetters I've had maybe 2 chips that died as
opposed to getting reset.  It's not something that I expect.  

 

Note that I have had occasional temporary failures caused probably by finger
prints.  I wipe the surface or the chip with a clean cloth (my shirt), and
the chip works.

Subject: [Digital BW] Epson 1800 chips

 

I have a relatively new Epson 1800, which I bought for pure-carbon 
black printing (3 Eboni black cartridges).

Twice now I have had the printer reject (or fail to recognize) an MIS 
refillable cartridge after I refilled and reset it. It was not the 
same cartridge, and both times I got things going again by replacing 
the MIS chip with a chip from one of the original Epson cartridges.

I have not had this kind of failure with MIS chips before (ie --- 
works fine -- reset -- not recognized). Reseating the cartridges made 
no difference.

Any thoughts??
