there is a simple trick with black tape you can do on this type ink and that will reset levels and use all ink without spending money on chip reset.

Interesting, I just tried the tape trick on the "empty" magenta cartridge and the printer reported it as full. So I'm guessing the printer uses both the window on the cartridge and the chip to determine levels. I'll wait and see what happens with the yellow cartridge when it gets below that window level. For anyone wondering, you stick a black piece of tape over part of the cartridge - the bit I'm pointing to at 2:24

@@Sawickipedia I think some models use chip and light sensor info, some just light, problem is if you just reset chip, sensor will "see" that cart is empty or low and it will adjust reading shortly after so taping will give you better consistency, the only problem is that it will always show full so you only know that is empty once one of your prints will be missing required colour, small price to pay if you can use you ink all the way imo

I used to do that, until one day the printer decided it wasnt having it

Yes, you can reset the magenta cartridge when it reaches a red X. You must either refill it with ink, or block the sensor window with tape or black marker *before* you put it back in. Otherwise, you will be stuck in a catch-22 situation. The chip is reset, but the sensor marks it as empty again.

Does this work with third party cartridges?
