    Soon: big test of refillable Epson Pro 3800 cartridges + resetters

    Hello Pharm, I did see your posting about the faulty tuning chip and believe that may be what the problem is with mine. Regarding the error message, it says either no or replace maintenance cartridge. The ink cart related error doesn't state a problem, they just blink so I think they may not be...

    Soon: big test of refillable Epson Pro 3800 cartridges + resetters

    Anyone sell those auto reset chips for the maintenance tank separately? I was going to pull the trigger and buy a set of those new carts with the chips but until I see some better reviews I'm holding off.

    Any updates?!?! :) I was looking to purchase the blue resetter myself when I just noticed they're $95 on eBay, anyone know a cheaper priced source? If not, for the additional $75 I'll just buy the all new inkfly cart set with the maintenance tank chip, I read that they're finally auto reset...

    Soon: big test of refillable Epson Pro 3800 cartridges + resetters

    You use to screwdriver to GENTLY pry the cover off not to unscrew screws. On the opposite side of where those scratches are is a little nipple that sits in a recess in the base (silver) cover, all you need to do is GENTLY pry the cover out of that indent. Takes all of 2secs on each side.

    Thnx for the quick reply Pharm, I REALLY appreciate it. About the I-refill system, is there a program downloaded to the pc? If not, is there any sorta chip installed on the cart or no?

    So I'm having problems resetting one of my colordroplets carts and I think it may be related to letting the ink level go beneath 5%.....although the level says 4% on my computer it states 5% on the printer LED....could the problem be something else? If not, how do I go about...

    Best quality pigment Epson K3 compatible inkset: which one ?

    Thnx for the replies.....I will most definitely give precisioncolors a holler when I'm ready to buy some inks.

    Best quality pigment Epson K3 compatible inkset: which one ?

    lolopr- Sorry if Im misunderstanding you but it looked as if one minute you're saying the IS inks are great and color match OEM K3 inks fine but then say you cant beat the K3 inks??? Is it possible that the lack of gloss is more about the type of paper being used? I'm asking cuz I just...

    Am I the only one having serious problems with leakage while trying to refill with the squeeze bottles?
