Hello, my first post.

I've purchased an Epson T33 printer and, as ink cartridges are very expensive where I live (Brazil), at the same time I've mail ordered a set o refillable cartridges and Sensient ink.
Everything went smooth in the replacement, and I stored the almost unused Epson cartridges in a tightly closed plastic bag. That was about 1 month ago.

Today I've decided to compare the quality of the Sensient ink to the Durabrite one by printing photos on glossy paper.

I replaced the refillable ones with the Epson ones, and much to my surprise, the printer won't print with them (red ink light keeps blinking). pressing the ink button indicates problems with all cartridges.
I've unplugged the printer from the wall outlet before changing cartridges, unplugged again for some time, to no avail.
Returning the refillable ones prints OK.

Thanks for your help!
