Epson can't refill anymore

What are the Epson's cartridges that can not be refilled ?

According to what I see in the market now, any cartridge with a chip with 9 contacts on it won't have a reseter
that can reset the ink counter, and that is the 69 series and the 78 series. And in the stores here, they only sell
Epsons using these new type of cartridges, you can't find any Epson printer that uses the older cartridges
like the 601s 401s or the t40s, these all got a seven contact chip. I hope the new reseter will come to the market soon. Right now I just stop using epson printers and switch to Canon. I just got a Canon ip3300, and am very happy with it. At least I can refill the cartridge myself.

The situation is dynamic and it appears that there is now a 9 pin resetter available but I can't vouch for it's functionality as I have not tested it. This was recently brought to my attention.

With the older 7 pin style cartridges, refilling and an inexpensive resetter is there for you. Here's how.

For the 9 pin, with the resetter at a high cost one might want to consider refillable cartridges such as these:

With Epsons you retain ink monitoring levels AND you are still able to refill conveniently.

Thanks Mikling, I was thrilled to see the new resetter come to market, I went to the site.
Sure they have it. However, there is a concern that the resetter only works on printers
sold before March 07. I think I just have to hang on for a little while before buying
one, but it's nice to hear that such thing is around the corner. I like Epson printers
except for the ink prices.
