The RedSetter was released first to the market for affordable resetter for the end user. The Blue resetter is the knock off version of the RedSetter, not much info out there because it's fairly new to the market. I would guess the blue one works the same as the Red.
Version 1 Cartridges only worked with printers purchased before April 2007, there has been several Epson chip updates since then. Latest Version Compatible Cartridges will work on all Epson DX4450 Printers to date.
Do your non genuine cartridges have the latest chip on them?
Apparently these cartridges can't be empty when filled, I found this from JR-Refill..........

I will research other ideas for you, but if anyone else reads this thread, and has any ideas to help the situation, they will...
Try clicking the how to button, it may take you through the cartridge installation procedure again. The SSC Utility shouldn't hurt the chip, sometimes you will get a cartridge that will not work, even if new.......this happens to OEM as well. You may need to buy a new cartridge.
If your non genuine cartridge has the chip on it, it should print, unless the chip is defective. Did you press the ink button? Try turning the printer off, wait 10 sec. and turn it back on, what happens?
The blue tape is the way to go with these, tape side to side, not front to back, tends to work better. It takes patients to tape without a machine, and have it not leak...Some put the tape on the clip over the foam (sticky side down), then clip the cartridge, rather than tape the cartridge then...
Yes, there seems to be something up with these cartridges which seems to have started this year, as you said before these were easily refilled many times without any problems when they fist came out, and ink was available to refill them. I myself have done quite a few, but so far haven't had any...
The 21 and 22 cartridges will give you approx. 3 - 5 refills, each time you refill you will notice the cartridge will not accept as much ink as the previous refill. These cartridges eventually need to be flushed clean,spun, dried, then refilled ( the professionals do this every refill , not...
Were the refilled cartridges re-installed back into the exact same printer they were removed from? Or....were they installed into a printer of the same series, but not the exact same one they came out of?
They are the same cartridge, with the same ink, just different reference numbers (cartridge number) and different ink volume, the PG-40 has more ink than the PG-37.
The Canon Pixma MP210 Photo printer uses 2 separate cartridges - a black cartridge, code PG-37 bk or a high capacity cartridge...
Do not test in your printer after refilling, only test in the printer it came from (Refill and give back to the same client with a guarantee). There have been quite a few problems from other people in our industry, in regards to these cartridges. So far, the only solution that seems to work, is...
I reset and refill cartridges for my clients, using the redsetter. I have done at least 30 so far, they do not go back into the same printers they came out of, as I had collected empties before the Redsetter was available. There have been no problems reported so far.
