amazinggggggggg🎉

You can also tip the printer backwards about 30 degrees and the ink will fill the window. 😊

Thank you so much for the creative hack 👏👏. I print mostly in blank ink and the printer does not print when one of the color ink cartridges are low. Even with low, there is actually ink in it.

Use electrical tape. Works better! Cut to fit

Thank you, I solved a problem thanks to you.

Does this trick works with brother DCP J152w?

sadly this no longer works on my printer. I painted over it with nail polish. i've use electrical tape. I've use sharpie. nothing works anymore on my mfc-j480dw

This was useless why have a video on a easy snap wiper 🤷‍♂️

I have a Brother MFC-J4335DW that says the magenta is not working. I've tried near everything! Please help!

omg. this is the best trick ever, its work and would do it to all my cartridges that i kept . so glad that i found this hack.

Life saver with a third party cartridge not being detected. Thankyou.

Sadly I have tried this hack, but it did not work. Is there any other way to clear the error? I have also changed my printer properties to black and white only printing.

Thanks. I put an all new one in, but it wouldnt recotnixe it. It worked 😊 But what happens when it gets empty?

Thank you Shann, this is a magic working solution !!!

Thank you so much!!!! I have not been able to print anything because of this situation. I am so happy right now!!!!

Giiiirl your genius 'after two days of so many tries this worked like magic

This worked, you saved my day 💕

This printer is a workhorse. We have saved SO much money kzbin.infoUgkxciSwynMJ7PnUvvx11rewiu-yFBkZTl53 . I've only filled the ink tanks once and have printed thousands of pages. The color is a little dull, but I will take the cost savings any day. It has trouble feeding envelopes, but other than that, I can't recommend it enough. I'm super super pleased with this printer and recommend it to all my friends.

Thanks! Gurl it worked for me, I have used a less expensive, cartridge before not my first time using this cartridge but for some reason it wasn't registering it, did what you did and it accepted

I tried this on an MFC-J4420-DW with LC-203 cartridges and it does not work.

This actually worked, thank you!!!

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👏🏻👏🏻👍🏻👍🏻

I have noticed on the brother printer MFC-J497DW the YELLOW ink cartridge will go out fast. I just tried the tape, and now I tried the sharpie trick. Nothing works, probably because it is yellow. I am not really sure what else to do, because I am fed up with Brother. The irony is I jumped to these printers because they had a good rep (you could switch between colors, and it wouldn't block you from scanning when you don't have ink). The Canon and HPs in the last few years would do that, and it was such a pill. I am getting fed the hell up with ink printers that it is almost unreal.

Wow! I can't believe I researched for an hour before finding this hack... it worked!!

Your sweater looks like tattoos. Apart from that excellent.

I did the marker, on the cyan and magenta. The Cyan worked, the magenta didn't. Put a new magenta in and the cyan had no ink problems. Will try the black tape. This is why I will NEVER buy another Brother Printer. I have had more problems with my MFC-J485DW than any printer I have ever had in the last 40 years. They make you buy more ink than needed. Too expensive!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hello and thank you very much for the well-known tip, but why do you buy an original color cartridge? After all, the video is meant to save money and you buy a cartridge that is 2 or 3 times more expensive, so where are you saving here? :)

I just wanted you to know I love you, I had a big box of aftermarket ink going on 2 years and was on the last set of colors and only yellow would read. I couldn't find a black sharpie so I used a black acrylic marker

what are the dimensions of the box after being modified?

I had the same problem with a Brother printer because I used 3rd-party inks. The printer wouldn't recognize 2 ink cartridges even though they had ink in them. Now I need to buy a new printer. I won't use 3rd-party inks any more.

Thank you!! I was testing a printer for work and didnt want to waste a new cartridge, it worked so well!!!

OMG!!!! Really Save my ass. I use only black ink. I don't need to use other colors. Why do I need to buy it!!!

It worked thx!

In Order For This Trick To Work. I had to remove the cartridge; unplugged the printer FOR 1 MINUTE; face the front of the printer to the ceiling; i plugged printer back up; I tapped the back of the ink cartridge a few times to get all the ink in the white nozzle; I put the ink cartridge back in; I hit #1 to confimed I changed the cartridge & IT FINALLY WORK!!!! I CAN FINALLY PRINT AGAIN!!!!

This didn't work for me. Every time I want to print I have to go through the rigamarole of test prints, cleaning heads, etc. This machine isn't very old. I do have alternative color inks in there, with a Brother black, still quite full, but all was fine until recently. This makes me SO angry.

Just getting this info out there, since I had to figure it out on my own: IF THE PRINTER SAYS A (COMPATIBLE CARTRIDGE) IS EMPTY BUT YOU JUST REFILLED IT: TAKE OUT THE SMALL CIRCUIT BOARD. YOU MAY NEED TO LEVER A PLASTIC HOOK AWAY WHILE YOU PRY IT OUT, OR CUT FLUSH SOME PLASTIC RIVET, EITHER WILL HOLD IT IN PLACE. THERE IS A SMALL BUTTON CELL BATTERY ON THE OTHER SIDE, INSIDE A METAL HOLDER. SOME OF THE METAL WILL BE BENT TO HOLD THE BATTERY IN. FOLD IT BACK. PUSH THE BATTERY OUT FROM THE OTHER SIDE WITH A PIECE OF WIRE OR TOOTHPICK. KEEP IT OUT A FEW SECONDS. PUT IT BACK IN. MAKE SURE THE NEGATIVE SIDE WITH THE CIRCLE POINTS TOWARDS THE CIRCUIT BOARD, AND THE POSITIVE SIDE, THAT EXTENDS TO THE SIDE WALL OF THE BATTERY, THE ONE WITH THE TEXT MARKINGS, TOUCHES THE METAL CAGE. THIS WILL RESET THE CHIP. THEN PUT THE CIRCUIT BOARD BACK ONTO THE CARTRIDGE. IT SHOULD WORK NOW.

Worked on black cartridge not on color

It's a life saver for me, Thank you it really woks and you did a great job. Already subscribed your channel ..

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU! I was trying to print a label for a sugar scrub and soap order. The printer said that I was out of Yellow ink. I wasn't as it was half-full. I did what you suggested with the black marker. It worked! The Brother online help was useless.

Mine does not recognise any colors

In all colors?

Black marker & tape didn't work for me. I used a little black spray paint on both sides of the ink window & that worked perfectly.

Thanks a lot

Thanks! I rarely print and I swear every time I come back to it it thinks colors empty after a several months.

thank you very much for the hack

Thank You So Much For Showing This Method!!! 😍🤩😍🤩😍 Although, my printer is absolutely horrible because not only does it waste brand new color ink, black electrical tape or a Sharpie didn't fool the sensor, but luckily I was able to improvise with black acrylic paint, and it worked (I usually just need to print black/white documents anyway). 💗💗💗💗💗💗 Now, I don't have to destroy my printer (yet).

This worked!! So simple, so smart, and no risk! I got this printer back in 2016 and hadn't used it for the last couple of years. When looking at the cartridges there was clearly ink. I thought that I had tried everything but thought that my printer was done for. This is a great hack. So glad I found this video. Thank you!

just put electrical tape around it.
