This is/was not in dispute. My comments were in regards to at what point you refill/reset such that you do not cause more frequent ink purges leading to a diaper filled earlier than necessary.On the purge issue, post #106 Stratman:- if you change all of the cartridges when one is showing low (Warning) then you get just one single purge on all the eight cartridges together, instead of the customary eight purges x 8 times when changing them individually..
Refilling on a LOW warning instead of an EMPTY warning accelerates filling the diaper and demonstrates a seminal distrust of the ink level monitoring technology, one's refilling abilities, or both. It will also lead to earlier full diaper warning.
Again, if you are having ink level monitoring issues - which are not resolved by updating your firmware - then I do not begrudge you if you do refill at LOW until the issue is resolved either with someone finding out what happens with a DIM'ed chip or a new resetter. Of course, if the issue is nonexistent with a new retail cartridge, then why are people waiting around for answers on a DIM'ed chip? Go get a new retail cartridge and be done with it.
