How to Refurbish your Maintenance Cart for the EPSON PRO 3800 3880

Now that you know how to reset the PRO 3800 / 3880 Maintenance Cart, I will show you how to refurbish it.
It is a very simple but potentially dirty process but if you are careful you should come out with perfectly clean hands like I did in the video.
Thanks

Hello Jose, I have a 3880 and print one or two pictures once every 10 days. Can I leave the printer on all the time to save ink? I guess if I switch the printer on and off after each use, it wastes more ink! Thanks, friend.

Hey had a p800 maintenance cartridge overflow printer only printing whit any suggestions

[@lucpoi6094]

Jose I saw you had scoth towels on your desk is this material can also be used and if yes will it have the same capacity to absorbent the inks as the product you have used ? regards

Thank you so much!

THANK YOU ...

Hi Tell me how does it know it’s full ? By weight? If so why not change the wadding every so often so it never fills up ? Do you think this will work?

[@cheo1949]

No. It's by the chip. It estimates how much ink is sucked out of the printhead and guesses how much ink was dumped into the maintenance tank. That is then written into the chip. So your idea will not work. You can not fool the chip.

Hi Jose, is it possible to do this on Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-1000 maintenance cart?

[@cheo1949]

Nope. At least no one has come up with a way to reuse them so far. They also have a chip that would have to be replaced.

[@gerardoberetta]

José is it the same process for the Epson 7880 , or just reset the chip ???

[@gerardoberetta]

@@jorgemtrevino Really ,thank you very much, bought some Pig Mat for that purpose.

how use in paper in maintenance box

[@StudioHQ77]

plese

[@cheo1949]

You mean the repacking? You can use anything that will absorb water based liquid.

[@gazmgzs]

so how do you reset the chip

[@cheo1949]

You take the resetter and line up the resetter's pins to the chip. This was about refurbishing the cart.

You're welcome You're welcome!

Does one need a reset chip for the Pro 3880 Maintenance Cart?

[@cheo1949]

No. A chip reseter plus a second maintenance cart as I show in the two videos on the subject.

[@brigittebowyercarey7133]

Thanks, @@cheo1949I ordered a new maintenance cart, but will probably have to wait for it for a few weeks to get here. I'm hoping that putting new absorbent cotton will work in the meantime.

[@cheo1949]

Sure you can do that but the chip STILL needs to be reset. there is a process to do this even if you have to resets you cannot just reset the chip and pop it back in and expect it to be recognized. You need to put a second maintenance cartridge with a different chip so the printer is fooled as it sees a different chip code. It will record that code and then erase the previous code which is the one you just reset then you just swap them again and the printer will accept the reset repacked maintenance cart so not only do you need a second maintenance cart at this point in order to get the system to work the second maintenance cart could be a used one it doesn't really matter you just need to record a different ID code into the printer's memory so that it forgets the original one and that way will accept the one you just reset. It is a tricky process and they don't tell you how to do this when you buy the resetter. That why I am here.

[@brigittebowyercarey7133]

@@cheo1949Thanks for explaining, Jose! I'll just have to wait until the new one comes then...not terribly smart when it comes to these things. I wish now that I'd kept the last cart, and this will teach me to keep this one!!

[@SusanneGoertz]

@@cheo1949 The second cartridge can be full, or does it have to be one that is not yet full or new? It is not possible to reset full cartridges, is it?

[@Trump-The-GREATEST]

I use giant tampon!

[@cheo1949]

Elephant size?

[@DonBryantPhotography]

Pet pee pads work a charm as well.

[@cheo1949]

A stack of paper towels is nicer.

[@DonBryantPhotography]

Hmmm. "Bounty! The quicker picker upper!" :)

[@cheo1949]

Actually the ones used in public red rooms are best.

[@DonBryantPhotography]

I'm not familiar with those, I'll try some paper towels first. Thanks.
