When the ink runs out, can I refill the resevoir? Do I replace that one? Do I have to buy the whole system again?

As far as I know you can. There are kits you can buy and or have a vendor that specializes in doing that. They test the cartridge then load it then test it again. I only bought some refilled units back several years ago but I have not for quite awhile. Wish you the best.

On my printer I can refill and reset the original cartridges. I found that, when you get a message for empty cartridge you press and hold the stop button (not the on and off switch) for about 10 seconds.

You can refill the ones that come with the printer. The ones that ship in the box last about 500 pages, maybe less. But the refills should last about 2500 pages. I can't say if they do yet since I've not printed 2500 pages so far.

Cartridges come with ink in them and simply snap in the pen. Once it is empty, you could either refill by usage of a syringe or snap another cartridge in. Converters replace cartridges and in the long run, save you money as they are reusable...not disposable. To refill, draw the piston of the converter down by twisting counterclockwise on the converter. Then, dip the entire nib into your ink and slowly fill up the converter by twisting clockwise. Once filled, draw out a drop of ink to remove any possible air bubbles that might cause skipping during writing.

Our local Office Depot said they probably have the refill and to just bring in the pen. They can order the refill if they do not have it but they are sure that they stock the item. We haven't had to replace it yet.

They have new and used cartridges. I bought the new ones and it shows that it's full, but I haven't used one to the empty level yet They work just like the one I had before. I'm very satisfied with them. It does say not to refill them because once their empty the mechanism it it won't work to show the ink level.

You made the same mistake I made the first time I needed ink. You bought the drums, not the ink cartridges. Send them back, your drums are good for 15,000 pages. You can save them, they don't go bad. The ink cartridges slide into the drums.

Hi Helen, you know the Epson cartridge have a chip that record information of how amount of ink left if you put some ink in it the printer don't let you print because the chip said don't have more ink in it, you have to buy some cartridge with auto reset chip and then you can refill it.

I purchased the same to products. You must break the printer to attach the ink system to the printer. I could not get it to work the instruction were quite poor. I then ordered empty refillable cartridges from the ink filling station and ink. these work great you just pull out a plug fill the cartridge with ink and put it back into the printer. You can use the ink in the ink system to fill the cartridges. Hope this helps.

if your cartridges are refillable, you can refill them with bulk inks. you will need to get a reset chip--you can check at refillbay.com to see if your printer type is listed for use with the chip. very easy to do

Tell you truth I don't know the what the best refill kit are. I bought and used http://www.amazon.com/refill-refillable-cartridges-using-Epson/dp/B002RWAKMM/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top#productDetails. So far I used that ink to refill the cartridges 3-4 times so far and have about half the bottles still full. It can be a bit messy refilling ink cartridges if your not careful. So depending on your time/cost and how much you print, buying a new one might better choice if it cost $3-5 bucks.

The ink cartridges cannot be refilled. As for the aftermarket ink cartridges, I can't say. We printed maybe five pages a month, and every time I went near this thing, I was replacing at least one ink cartridge @ about $15. We no longer print with it; use it as a scanner only. After my experience with this thing, I will never buy another Epson product. The irony here is this was a Consumer Reports Best Buy... They sure blew that one.Tom

I have had no problems with it resetting, no matter what the condition of the cartridges. The re-setter only knows that it has a cartridge in it not whether it is even got ink in it. I believe you can fill them at any point.

I've always thrown the cartridges away. I've never tried to refill any cartridges. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful.
