You need to get a resetter for your cartridges. When the print monitor says you need to change the cartridge, take it out of the printer and reset the chip. Put it back in and make a note of the fact that this color has been reset. When the ink monitor for the cartridges shows that this color is down 25% you must manually take out this cartridge and put in a new full one. Change your note to show that this color is new. Note, the 25% has been safe for me on a 2200 over about 50 cartridges. One time, when I was testing this, I let the Magenta run longer and at about 27% on the monitor the Magenta quit and Green grass turned Cyan for the rest of the print. Your percentage may vary. Resetting the cartridges and getting another 25% from each means that I get one more cartridge worth out of every four cartridges. Buying my cartridges from Atlex for $8.90 each means I wouldn't consider using third party ink. I've only had to do a heat clean twice in over two years and Epson's archival properties are well known. Hope this helps others get 25% more out of their cartridges.
