Epson R2000 resetter for R2000 refillables

[The Hat]

Hi Joe,

You can give it a try and see if they are reset properly. If so I might order the same cartridges you have. It could be your older version carts can be reset.

@pharmacist is it really necessary to go to all that trouble to get the chips to be accepted by the printer, could you not seek out just new replacement chips and transfer them to your existing cartridges..

Will do. They are whatever PC is selling. Unless he has changed sources.

So I am still looking for resettable chips for my Epson R2000, which can be reset at any moment/time to prevent the dreadful cascading ink wasting procedure.

Are you referring to having to reset only one chip at a tine rather than all at once so you do not end up doing individual ink purges every time you reset one. But don't you just top off all 8 carts and reset them by shorting out the two round chip terminals? Or are you talking about some other system or method.

Have you considered the newer push button type? They can be refilled while still in the carriage and reset at ANY time by pressing a button that is located in the rear of each cart unit.
I also have a type that relies on a separate cart or damper holder that then is inserted like any other cart and can also be reset at any time.

I did a video on those.

Hi Joe,

Actually both options I am now considering. I have these push button type carts, but no way to reset them....unless they are registered as empty: this is the reason I bought the resetter, hoping it could overrun this particular behavior. I have contacted several suppliers and they say there push button carts cannot be reset unless it registers as empty.

Have a look at the carts I am talking about.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzYreszSdAMJump to the 20 minute mark and watch me show the carts displayed at different ink levels on the ink monitor on my PC screen and then I reset them one by one.
Other brands may not work. Though I can short out reset any of my non push button carts to full even when not empty.

Can you share you cart's source as I have not found any that will allow me to reset then to full whenever I wish to.

Hi Joe,

These are ones I have:

I just try resetting the carts, while seated in the printer and it only triggers a priming cycle, so again dumping ink into my printer potty. But no back 100% level .

And where did you buy yours ? I think I might buy a set of the carts you you've.

Well, when I reset my set to full after topping them off and still in the carriage the print does go through an ink purge. I don't think there is any way to prevent that from occurring. The only think I love about these carts is that I really never have to remove them from the printer.

Hi Joe,

I think the problem is I gave the link directly from my eBay account.

This is a print screen of it:

Yes those are different to mine. I will take a snap of mine and post it.
Mine are a two piece unit. One holds the chips and acts as a holder for the internally held ink containers, carts, dampers or whatever you want to call them.
