Removing chips from carts

Removing chips from carts

2006-12-18 by Mark Savoia

Anyone have any tips on how to remove a chip from a Epson 9600 or  
10000 cart? I tried on a few old ones and destroyed them. They seem  
to be extremely glued in. I need to switch them to another cart.

my 7600 carts. finally gave up and ordered a couple empties from MIS

No one has 10000 carts or I would just do that. Has anyone  
successfully switched bags inside the carts?

I have about 4 or 5 10000CF empties from Mediastreet. You have 
to write them whether you need CF version, dye or the 10600 
ones. But I prefer converted Epson ones, they are more solid 
than the copies.

BTW, if you want to refill original Epson ones you must take 
out a backflow valve, I have once written the instruction on 
one of the lists. So if you want to convert from dye to 
pigment carts + refilling there's not just the chip that has 
to be replaced.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Here is the info Ernst gave me last year. I still haven't done it but
will be doing it if Cone doesn't get me my NK6 carts by Jan 3rd:


This time I go shareware style as normal business seems not to work.
So you all get the full details and I wouldn't mind to receive empty
10000CF carts in return from all over the world.
I will tell the postman it may get busy soon.

I use the MIS resetter on empty 10000CF carts with the Epson chips. So I
have to reset them when refilled. At 450 ml content per cart used I do
not see that as a problem.

Back to the valves. You cut the 10000 bag off that grey valve part ?
Take your best glasses, and look for the hole at the inside (bag side)
of that grey valve part. On the 9600 carts it is a simple hole, no
obstruction. On the 10000 carts there's a small milky white plate at two
points welded with a small hole in the middle. Beneath that plate is a
very small PET disc of maybe 2-3 mm wide and 0.1 mm thick. If you
remove both then ink can flow in without problems like with the 9600
carts. That's easy when the cart is taken apart, the pressure membrane
is cut to pieces and the bag is removed with the knife. To assemble that
again in good order without leaking is something you better avoid.

So you need to remove that valve from the outside. There's a
polyethylene cap over the valve part at the outside that has to be
removed first. I have used 3 paperclips to make a kind of round Neptunes
fork with three hooks at the inside that slip over the cap and hook at
three sides behind the cap. There are 3 plastic hooks inside the cap
that hold it and by using the custom gear you should be able to get the
cap off. Work on a clean table as there will be other parts getting out
of the spring valve construction inside. Remove the rest of the valve
parts. First you could try this out on 9600 carts to get the skill (if
you have more of them). Next step:Take a very small screwdriver with a
blade that's less than 2 by 1 mm and a shaft of 1.5 mm diameter and
effective length of 1.5"- 37 mm. Stick it gently into the hole where the
valve spring was, you will feel a bridge construction within that
supports the spring inside. That bridge construction is a star form with
3 legs or just one bar across, 3 or 2 holes in between along the side of
the cylinder you are in (it's about a year ago I have done this). So
steer the screwdriver into one hole and it will find the obstruction of
the extra backflow valve + plate of the 10000 cart. Push the shaft
completely inside so the weld at one side will break, find the other
hole(s) to break the other weld. The small disc and plate will fall into
the inkbag but will not block the inkflow in and out anymore. Too thick
a screwdriver and you will break the support of the valve spring and you
lost a cart, too little force and the small valve will still function or
the flow will be limited both ways. Reassemble the cart again in the
right order. It can be filled and reset. I do hope you emptied it before
you started the operation.

I could write how you can exchange the ink in a good and cheap way, I
could write how you can change between gloss and matte black in the same
way. That has to wait till the postman rings (twice?).

Don't know why it went 3x, the mailer must have a hick up.

John's message with my instruction starts with an explanation 
where that valve is but if you got no cart extra it isn't wise 
to take a cart apart as there is no way to rebuild it. You 
can't cut the pressure membrane either to replace bags as it 
will be difficult to get an airtight pressure membrane again. 
I have plenty of adhesive vinyls and PET foils here but 
there's a difference between hot sealing like the original has 
and adhesive seals, the last are not that strong.

And that was the problem with the initial Media Street carts according
to a guy who tried them back then, the glue was't strong enought to
hold the pressure.

Ernst if they haven't straighted out these cart for sure by Jan 3rd
when I get back I'm going to have to go your route with the Epson cart
refill. I'm tired of waiting.

I have several 10600 empties if anyone is interested. It's one full
set plus almost another full set if my memory is correct.

Well it is even worse. I had some Mediastreet ones filled as a 
backup but never used them for the reason above.
This morning I had no other LM cart left that was filled so 
inserted the Mediastreet one, and error message appeared that 
no LM cart was inserted. I reset the chip and it still gives 
that answer. Checked what a Cyan one would do and it wasn't 
good either.

So avoid the Mediastreet 10000 carts not only for possible 
leaks on pressure or ink bag but also for not working with the 
chip. Wonder whether I can get my money back, P&P price to 
Europe was already far too high in my opinion.

Have to thank John and Warren for the Epson empties they send 
me in the past.

I had a strange thought, can the cart sensors be turned off like they  
can in a 9600?

I guess they can be turned off in the firmware but by that you 
loose any information on the content used.

Anyway if Mediastreet asks me to specify the 10000 model I use 
and the carts I get have 10000CF labels on them, I expect they 
work on the 10000CF.  Whether with a chip that says always 
full or one that can be reset. They do not.

BTW, I do not know what you actually want to change on the 
carts but there's an instruction somewhere in the wide format 
list messages how to change the 10000 from dye to pigment and 
the opposite. Service mode thing.

[Digital BW] Re: Removing chips from carts

2006-12-19 by john dean

Ernst,

I would definitely ask for all of your money back from Media Street.
Not only that they need to be aware of the situation. You ordered the
latest versions? You might want to check the serial numbers with him
to make sure. They did have some on their website before the latest
incarnation. They are selling their G Chromes in them now. So if he
tells you anything I would also like to know. What I can't figure out
in all this mess that Media Street is having and now Cone ( possibly
from Media Street also) is that Lyson has been successfully selling
their Cave Paints in 3rd party carts for years and I have never heard
of a problem. They just might sell us emptys also if we say they are
for some special cleaning fluid or something. 

 I know the guy to email about this at Media Stree. His name is
Michael Levy. He is a good guy and has done the best on his end to
make this work. He told me that the problem they had with the first
batch was chip recognition and placement at the factory, whereever
that is. 

This was the last email he sent me about six months ago:
-----
Hi John,

Better late then never. Our testing has been completed and these new
cartridges worked successfully. We will probably have these in stock
within a month or so. I assume you will only be looking for one set?

Please advise.
Michael

Sincerely,
The MediaStreet Support Staff

Page 55 give three modes:

NPC = 0 neutral
NPC = 1 dye
NPC = 2 pigment

I don't think neutral means a quad set :-)  more likely no 
chip detection.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Removing chips from carts

Ernst,
Just tried your suggestion.

NPC = 0
I think is for the first time initialization because it is looking  
for the startup cyan cart that determines if it will be a pigment or  
dye machine. Nice suggestion although.

I would think they have somewhere to disable completely for trouble  
shooting.

Re: [Digital BW] Re: Removing chips from carts

2006-12-19 by Mark Savoia

Looks like I am getting a bit closer to a chip switch, anyone know if  
a flush is required between archival pigment inkset and ultrachrome  
inkset? On the Epson 10000 do I understand it correctly that it  
"drains" on power off?

Mark,

There's something more on this subject in the Field Service 
guide at page 40 but no real answer on your request.

Funny those warnings in the SM and FS that no customer should 
ever get the knowledge that you can switch between dye and 
pigment. Shows how committed they are to the customer of what 
once was a 13K machine.

What you could try with the NPC settings is some undocumented 
number 4-9 if the printer display allows that. Some developers 
setting they forgot to take out. There are also other settings 
for Japanese etc carts mentioned at other pages in the SM manual.

Met vriendelijke groeten,  Ernst
