Great video - very helpful. I had a printer that had been sitting for a long time and was not printing. I used this method to drain existing cartridges, add 8 part windex/2 part alcohol to fill the old catridges and did many cleaning cycles until they were clear, then replaced with new ink catridges. Now with this method I will go buy some ink and not have to buy new catridges for a long time. thanks!

The man is a genius to figure this out. All it takes is a few cents of ink to get a $30 cartridge going again but I believe that a reset procedure may also be required
@anilphilip5463 жыл бұрын
looking at other people's videos, someone posted that you do not need a resetter - simply cover the transparent window with black tape. This will fool the printer into thinking it is full

LC401 brother printer cartridge owners. The hack is to change the date on the initial setup screen to 2021 year. Then power off the machine and remove ALL the ink cartridges and refill as needed with a needle and syringe as seen on KZbin. Then power back up and install the same cartridges when asked. It will then show them all as full.

Hey Anil, Thank you for watching the video. In regards to your question, I cannot guarantee what I haven't tried myself. So if you wanna take chance, you can. But I think it is much better to do the hole on the soft white plastic inside, rather than the black one outside. Taking cartridge apart isn't that hard. You just need one screw, that's it.
