RE: [Digital BW] epson 1800 carts

The resetter you need is the one for YOUR Epson printer.
Even if the print monitor doesn't show percentages, all you have to
do is be able to tell when about 25% is gone. On the PC, Epson print
monitor shows the ink status as a bar with marks at 25, 50, and 75%.
MIS cartridges may have more or less ink in them so you will have to
watch your prints and choose your own setting.

  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.
