[QUOTE="krs, post: 1842394, member: 67742"] I actually found that to be a problem. On the Epson printers I have and have had, the amount of ink left in a cartridge is determined by the number of pages that have been printed - it doesn't reflect the amount really left in the cartridge. So the 3rd party cartridges I bought supposedly had about twice the amount of ink compared to the Epson brand. What happened is that the printer decided the cartridge was empty (or close to it) when in fact half the ink was still left in the 3rd party cartridge, so by removing the cartridge and plugging it back in I could reset the ink counter back to show full - so far so good, but now I took the risk that the cartridge would actual run out of ink before the printer indicated an empty cartridge and that's about the wortst thing that can happen on an inkjet - running dry. I wonder how you handle that or how you can reset the ink counter, because once the printer "thinks" the cartridge is empty it won't print until one replaces the cartridge with a new one. [/QUOTE]
