Re: Ink waste - cartridges vs CIS

Hello Bill,

A couple of months ago I would have asked the same question. We all
have to ask in order to learn. Then we can help others.

I'll direct you to this page:

Looks scary cause he uses the tip of an X-Acto blade. But really there
is nothing to it as long as you do it with care. Most important part
is not touching the chips surface. 

But they're not that fragile. I've swapped many chips... and never got
any problem. And they are easy to find in the form of empty OEM carts.
The autoreset ones you have to buy but again their easy to find.

I use rubber cement to fix the chips. Just a little.

Important too: make sure you remember which is which... one removed
better place the chip on a post it with cart name on it and chip type.
OEM have the Epson word written on them.

Good luck!

Denis
