How do I reset Epson Ink Cartridge?

Question

I have an Epson C41UX and the damn thing zips thru ink cartridges and now I learn that it may not even be using all the ink in the tank.

My local suppliers are happy to refil and reset this chip but at a cost that exceeds a cheapy no name.

ANyone know of a way I can reset these chips myself?

I know the standard disclaimers on using non genuine inks and their potential for damage but I've already spent more on cartriges than the printer and I'm not all that happy with the printer anyway so I'm happy to run it into the ground. I won't be buying Epson again!

Any help appreciated

In article ,  mentioned...You can buy a kit that has the reset device and refill ink.  One source is H.T.

Computer Friends sells refill kits for Epson (and others). Some of the Epson kits include a hardware resetter that is PC/Mac driven.

I don't have a printer with chipped cartridges, so I can't comment on the resetter. However, I've used their Epson and Lexmark refills for over a year and they work well. I don't consider their HP refill kit to be even half as good as the others, but that may be related to the way HP cartridges are made.
