EPSON Printers

[Frank Williams]

Managed to get hold of a hardly use Epson R390, still has the original
ink cartridges. 82N type.

But one was stuffed, was not seen by the printer chip was stuffed

Got a new cartridge and its working OK but most of the Cartridges are
almost empty.

Remove the Chip of the dud Cartridge and found that it connect to
another item that is held in by a spring.

It turns out how Epson checks the ink level, I always thought it was how
many clean cycles it goes through, no the small item actually weighs the
ink in the cartridge.


The small spring holds it hard against the 2 holes near the ink outlet,
this thing is square with 4 contacts, 2 are just link through's, plus
it has a silicon small rubber face to seal it.

So if you get a air lock in the cartridge it could show empty you just
shake it to get rid of the air lock.

DRAG your soul to GOOGLE to search for the REFILLABLE INK CARTRDIGES which
probably cost around $15-20 for set of 6 cartridges. INK, you can get
around $15-20 for (6) 100ml bottles

All Refillable Ink Cartridges have ARC (Auto Reset Chip)

No need to guess nor trying to change the chip nor trying to refill the
original cartridge (with sponge).

- Refillable Ink Cartridge is the cheapest and easiest to go

- If you don't wanna refill yourself (you should) then you can shop for
remanufactured ink cartridge which costs around $3-4 or so a pop.

I will kill myself before I ever use Refills full stop.

I am a Engineer and has seen far to many printers stuffed up with using
Refills, Plus the Ink all over the Place, but then its great for
teenagers as they have no brains.

It seems that you just did not understand my Post at all.

I've never had a problem with refills, but mostly I just refill my own
cartridges (Canon printers, not Epsons). Especially useful for those
slightly older printers that Canon does not sell cartridges for
anymore (presumably same story for Epson).

I don't know, but it seems making broad generalizations is not the
sort of thing an engineer would do.

I gathered you were giving a tip, which was great.

I venture that the reply here was also useful, since you could take
the working chip from remanufactured cartridges to fix dud Epson
cartridges....

Nothing of the sort I was referring that the Epson Cartridge has a
device to weigh the ink and it tacks on the back of the chip.

I've been in the Electronics computer industry for some 30 years.

I would suggest you to put your engineering degree aside to learn many
great things from teenagers.

And you should borrow some brain of a teenger to realize how small your

As have have mentioned in earlier message. Put your Engineer and now
Electronics + 30 years smelly experience aside and start learning thing you
haven't learned in the past 30 years.

What a waste! (I am talking about your tiny brain)

Thanks for the tip.

I know! the guy is trying to fool people with some foony knowledge.

Well, his brain power is clearly insufficient for him to understand when
to use Capital Letters, or to spell correctly!

I'm sure there are actually cases where bad ink can screw up a printer,
but a good engineer should certainly know better than to make sweeping
generalisatons.

No I don't want some Brain Dead Idiot go telling me to use Refills, its
the sort of comments that come from Teenagers that DONT HAVE EXPERENCE.

So wind your Heads In Little Boys,

You still can't work the caps, can you? I'm probably older than you, and
I am a qualified engineer.

He isn't worth it. His bad advice here and other newsgroups is well understood.
I am a fully qualified electronics engineer and have been in IT and computers
for well over 30 years. I specialised in printers for some years and I can say
that I have never seen any printer damaged by third party or refilled
cartridges.

Indeed. I ended off with just an ironic short post, seeing the way the
wind was blowing.

(and I also have an Electrical & Electronics Engineering degree, with
post-grad degrees in remote sensing, remoter and remoter from
reality....)

I agree with you about the inks also, and it is clear from doing
searches on the newsgroup archives how useful 3rd party inks are.

Those that say they have are either manufacturers of printers (and they would
wouldn't they?) or people who either lie or have pitiful technical skills.
I do not advocate nor do I criticise the use of third party inks. Some are good
and some not so. But they do not "damage" printers in my experience.
Frank Williams posts using a nom de plume and has used others in the past. He
is inclined to abuse at the earliest opportunity whenever anyone disagrees with
him and has the technical skills (as demonstrated by his bad advice) of a
rhesus.
A thoroughly unpleasant individual.

Agreed!

Now let's get back to the wonderful constructive world of helping one
another fiddle with these monsters.

I NEVER EVER POSTED ABOUT TAKING A CHIP FROM ANOTHER CARTRIGHE,
READ MY POST.

WELL PRINTERS FOODED WITH INK IS THAT NOT DAMAGE. ?.

TO REFILL A CARTRIDGE IT HAS TO BE DONE UNDER PRESURE THAT CAUSES THE
INK TO BLEED.

I AM USING CAPS AS IT SEEMS MOST ARE DEF HERE.

AND YOU ARE ?

No! the Brain Dead Idiots are telling you to replace the screwed up
engineer's dream with a dead brain.

And also not to use the word EXPERIENCE because everyone knows who has
propblem. And I didn't tell ya not to mess with the chip (even I saw you
mentioned the word engineer) because I was trying to be nice to you.

I wish you act and as smart as a normal teenager so you can learn
something.

Hahaha here you go again with the engineer experience. And here we are
trying to put some pressue on your head hoping it's enough pressure to push
some water out of your skull.

And what the heck is the PRESURE you talking about? Do you know that
ObamaCare covers precondition?

Have you realized that you can't fool the printer users here?

I AM USING CAPS AS IT SEEMS MOST ARE DEF HERE.

Hahaha I can see quite a bit of pressure here!
