I recently bought a new workforce 645 to replace my old all in one.
I was told at the store the cartridges were refillable, one reason I got it!
My old HP I refilled fine all the time and it worked great. So I have a little experience,
but Epson seems alien as far as refilling..
When the black ran out, I went and bought another new one to get back to work.
Then searched on how to refill the old oem ones..
when the current black was running low I tried to refill the original one.
I drilled the hole where the instructions said.. under the round sticker that says "push"
slowly filled it with ink and used my chip resetter I bought.
Putting it in the printer went ok at first though it complained it was not an original cartridge.. but seemed to work until I
printed a second page.. it complains it does not recognize the cartridge and insists I put in a new one or tells me its low and to replace it.
Are there tricks? Should I get the refillable cartridges? Do they work okay? What ones?
What about the page resetting and ink levels ect.. I am new to this obviously and lost!
