Kevin, just wanted to say (as a printer technician who works on inkjet repairs as well) I love your videos, I always find something super interesting, usually hilarious, and always helpful in trying to troubleshoot and fix these frustrating little machines. Thanks so much for all of the time you put into these!!

[@shaes9031]

Do you think it’s possible to do this with a sawgrass ?

[@jeanniefurey4905]

I had to stop the video to comment and say: You guys are wonderful!! Thank you for hearing what consumers have been beggin for since the home printer first became available. Unbelievably thorough!!

[@armwyatt]

You have taught me sooooo much! From unclogging my printer heads to refilling chipped cartridges. Thank you!!!

"We also have a bridge in Brooklyn for sale" Brilliant!!!

[@roberthardy2013]

Please, please don’t sell the bridge! I have enjoyed walking over it too much…

[@kestralrider313]

Thank you for the in depth explanations, this is the first video that I've seen to actually address some of the physics behind the internals of the cartridges, makes troubleshooting issues much easier

[@bethparkerbrown645]

I'll have to say that I really appreciate this video. I have watched a lot of these kinds of videos and have got very little from them. You explained everything very well and were funny while doing it as well which i liked. Thanks for the video

[@trackie1957]

Thank you so much! This is so well presented! The technical humor is much appreciated as well. If you don't have a drill, you can make a hole with a hot wire (paper clip, coat hanger, etc.). Remember the gloves and paper towels!

[@brittbreeze23]

Thank you for that suggestion!!! You saved my day!!!

[@workonitm8]

Drill might leave shavings in the ink reservoir and clog the print nozzles. A hot wire might be more practical.

[@lenmajuskin]

Absolutely love this printer it was so easy to hook up and learn how to use all with the Hp smart app. It comes pre installed with ink and it gives you the option to have ink unlimited! Definitely worth the money.

Boa noite, adorei seu vídeo e parabéns pelas dicas top mesmo, gostaria de saber se tem o resseter para Epson XP 214? Obrigado

[@JulieMilestones]

Thank you for you enlightening videos. I have a Epson XP8600 I want to use as sublimation printer. I want to empty the 312XL cartridge and fill with sub ink. The cartridge are different to this one of yours, it has a rectangle area at bottom the ink flows from. What is the best way to empty & refill these as when you drill a hole in the top the ink gushes out the bottom

[@txsleepwalker6640]

Do you know how to make an Epson sc-p400 recognize new printer cartridges? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

[@mdnady]

does it impacting the performance of the printer by the time ? when i have to replace the maintenance box ?

[@paulmoffat9306]

I opened an early C86 cartridge to see if I could refill it, and discovered that it was rather complex inside. The main reservoir appeared to be sealed, and pressurized to force the ink through a pressure regulator to the ink head. Very strange. I later found re-inkable cartridges to replace them, along with the chip resetter.

[@tigerlilly6895]

Thank you. Do you have a chip reset for Epson WF 4833 / Cartridge 822 ink cartridges?

[@BCHTechnologies]

[@KeriRautenkranz]

BRAVO! Love the "Rupture", the hundred dollar syringe and of course The Bridge. The clear window explanation was a lifesaver for extracting the 4 - 6ml (!!) of Epson ink from a new set of 288-I starter cartridges for filling and purging with sublimation ink. (had an impromptu sublimation job while my main CISS printer was down, so bought a cheap XP440 for interim work ) The 288 appear to be physically identical to the 252, with just a different electronic ID on the chip and less ink. I found that chamber #2 will take about 5ml at a time. Applying then releasing a vacuum to the fill hole with the vent taped will quickly draw ink into chambers #1 and #3, allowing chamber #2 to take another 5ml, and so on.

[@beccaham]

Keri, I have an xp440 that I am trying to refill right now. Cartridges are the 288-I. Did you need a chip resetter to get these to work?

[@Rainbowgrrl]

[@TheDemoexpert]

I see when you drill the hole bits of the drill plastic can go inside the chamber. Won't this be a problem. Maybe to plug the flow?

[@BCHTechnologies]

It could be. Epson has many chambers, one leads to another so the bigger pieces will be caught by one of the ink channels. Smaller pieces may get in though.

[@kln.b5631]

lord netsplits Here’s some information that may be useful : Most of the companies that offer printers have 2 different set of prices that are noted and acknowledged by them. 1. Manufacturing price Which is the amount of money it took for the company to make that product. (In this case “printer”) 2. Retail price The price, they ACTUALLY want to sell you the product for... Now, I’ve got no problem, them, making a bit of money on the side. But this gets dark when you consider the amount of money it takes to produce an ink cartridge : 00.23$ cents Usually sold for the same price as the printer. So, if they’re selling the printer for 100 dollars which actually should’ve been sold for 75, they also make you buy cartridges that cost the same amount of a fully, working printer.

@@compupsych3897 You have to do a hard update, which you put it into firmware update mode. For those ones that can't update, there is a theory of corrupting the EEPROM then update them. I haven't had time to try them. Basically, you unplug the printer when it's about 3/4 of the way finish update, then roll the update again.
