Problems reported with InkJetMall Flush Cartridges

Problems reported with InkJetMall Flush Cartridges

2003-02-04 by Editor P.O.V. Image Service

WARNING!!!

I have several reports of incidents where users received IJM flush
cartridges, inserted them in an EPSON and ruined the printer --
requiring an actual service of the printer by EPSON.

The cause?

It seems according to these reports that IJM has inadvertently shipped
some flush cartridges WITHOUT chips on them... Insert them, and you take
a chance of ruining the chip contacts on your printer..

I have not seen the actual cartridges myself, so cannot vouch for the
missing cartridges, but the individual who brought this to my attention
is someone whose opinion I trust.

So, if you buy an IJM flush cartridge, PLEASE check to make sure it has
the chip on it BEFORE you insert it in your machine.

IJM was first informed of this AFAIK about two months back, yet some
cartridges have reportedly recently been shipped without chips..
