How to Replace or Reset the Ink Chip on Ink Cartridges?

Epson ink chip
By refilling cartridges yourself, you can save a considerable amount of money versus purchasing new ones. Before using a refilled ink cartridge, you may need to replace or reset its "ink chip" before the printer will accept it and print documents again. Today, we will introduce the steps of it and hope it will be helpful to you.

Replace Ink Chip

1. Purchase an ink refill kit and smart chip compatible with the cartridges used in your printer. You can usually find kits that include smart chips at office supply stores or online retailers (links in Resources).

2. Power off the printer and remove the cartridges according to the directions in the user guide or the labels on the inside of the maintenance door cover.

3. Refill the cartridge according to the directions in the ink refill kit.

4. Orient the cartridge so that you can access the smart chip on the bottom. Use tweezers or a utility knife to pry on the smart chip gently until it disengages from the plastic tabs that hold it in place. Alternatively, use the tweezers to pull the chip out from beneath the tabs if it has an access opening that allows you to slide it out of the casing. Remove the old smart chip and set it aside.

5. Insert the new chip into the slot or beneath the tabs on the bottom of the cartridge. Push the chip down into the tabs gently or slide it into the slot until secure.

6. Insert the ink cartridge back into the cartridge carriage of the printer. Power on the printer and use it as you normally would.

Reset Cartridge Chip

1. Purchase a stand-alone chip-reset device for your model inkjet printer or buy a refill kit that includes one. You can buy reset devices at some office supply stores and from many online retailers (links in Resources).

2. Remove the cartridges from your inkjet printer according to the directions in the user manual or the labels on the inside of the maintenance cover or panel.

3. Orientate the cartridge so that the pins and smart chip are visible. Align the pins on the smart chip with the metal leads or pins on the chip-reset tool. After aligning the leads or pins, press the chip reset tool against the smart chip and hold it. Press the button on the reset tool, hold it down for approximately five seconds and wait for the LED light on the reset tool to stop flashing. After the light stops flashing, disengage the chip-reset device from the smart chip on the bottom of the cartridge.

4. Reset the smart chips on the other cartridges used in the printer as needed. Reinsert the cartridges into the printer according to the directions in the printer user guide or the cartridge instruction labels on the printer.

5. Power on the printer and use it normally. After you use the tool to reset the smart chip on the cartridge, the printer application will no longer display "cartridge empty" or "cartridge near empty" warning messages.

But most people just know the fast dry sublimation paper, because the applications of sticky paper is limited. But sometimes, sticky paper is also important. Tacky sublimation paper is one type of sublimation paper with a tackified coating. The tackified coating will be activated by heat. After the tackified coating is activated, it will adhere to the textile very firmly, so after the transfer is finished and when you lift the press up, the paper will still firmly adhere to the textile, it prevents the paper and textile from moving, the ghosting will not occur. The tacky paper is mostly used in stretch material such as lycra, the stretch material has a elastic, it is much easier moving during the transfer. But even though you are using the stretch material , doesn’t mean you still need to us tacky sublimation paper, that depends on the heat pres
