Digital BW, The Print

Thanks, Carl,

Elementary questions, I'm new at this!

So each cart has its own specific chip? I guess they'd have to. I note
that the chips on the R-jet-tek website are not resettable, although
they are listed alongside the chip resetting device. Seems strange.
Anyway, you'd put a new chip on each time you refilled, right?

Also, those chips have the prefix "HP". Do they mean Hewlett-Packard?!
That seems a little strange, too!

Regards,

Paul
