When replacing these cartridges my Epson printer kept giving me a cartridge error and I had to insert Epson brand cartridges. Anyone??

These cartridges have to be installed more forcefully than the brand name ones. It helps to position the printer directly in front of you so you can give the cartridge a sharp snap into place. Some of these cartridges(not all of them)have come with a little orange spacer that fits between the cartridge and the plastic lever at the top of the cartridge. I save those and insert them into the cartridges that don't have them--the spacer seems to make the "snapping" into place more positive. It's also possible the green micro chip type mechanism that allows communication between the cartridge and printer/computer is defective. The brand name cartridge instructions always make a big issue out of not touching that green micro chip part. If that is defective the printer/computer will say that it doesn't recognize the cartridge. I hope this helps. I have had much less trouble of this kind lately--I don't know if the cartridges are getting better in quality or I'm doing a better job of snapping them into place.

I've not had this problem before and I've gone through two sets of these cartridges. One time I got a cartridge error after replacing one of the cartridges. I ended out removing all of the cartridges and reinstalling (using the same cartridges) ensuring that I had properly seated each (some were Epson and some were not). After cycling the power the printer was back in action.

I've never had a problem with the printer not recognizing the cartridges with these. Make sure you ordered the right cartridge number for your printer and follow the directions for replacing the cartridges. Don't forget to remove the strip that covers a vent hole before removing the hard plastic cover prior to inserting your cartridge. Try again.

yes, they work fine, but the printer always tells you that there are wrong cartridges installed, and when you try to put in all 6, it won't print at all. I usually try to keep some real Epson cartridges around, and make sure that at least one or two in the machine are Epson. On the printer front, when you get the error message, just hit the down arrow and you are given a choice to print anyway or not. I always move the arrow to the left and choose, YES. Oh, wait, I have an R340, not an R320, so I don't know if they work the same way.

The first cartridge worked fine, printed a whole ream of paper, 500 pages plus then stopped printing. Called Epson Support Center and trouble shoot 70 plus minutes as he walked me through steps to fix it. Installed a second yoyoink cartridge brand new, be sure to shake it a few times before installing. Redid the trouble shooting steps. Nothing worked, it printed blank sheets. Next day, I went to Office Depot and bot the Epson 200XL cartridge, installed it and it started printing again. No problems since.

If you keep getting this error message consistently, there may be a problem with the chips for each cartridge. If you are only getting this on one cartridge, try removing and re-installing the cartridge. Be sure that you push hard enough so that the cartridge is fully seated in the cartridge slot. Look at the release mechanism for the cartridge and be sure that the release is in the full up position. You should hear a distinct click when the cartridge is fully seated and locked in place. Let me know what happens after you do this. I hope this will resolve your problem. I have had this happen with my Epson pinter from time to time. I just remove and reinsert all cartridges one at a time and make sure each cartridge is fully seated and locked into place. I have had the error message clear after this removal/reinsertion process.

I also have a Epson XP310 and the printer driver showed a warning that I had installed non-OEM ink, but I continued anyway and the printer is working fine. Are you seeing a similar warning? If so, just accept it and the printer should work fine. Also, make sure the cartridge is properly seated.

first I THOUGHT they did not work. I had to replace all the colors at the same time to get them to work in my Epson 2350

Yes and I recommend you use only Epson ink. I used off brand ink in my last printer and it became unusable over a short period of time. It may not have been the problem, but problems began when I started using the off brand inks.

I had problems with my printer after trying these ink cartridges. My printer wouldn't work properly and after taking it out it needed a little adjustment before i could use the Epson ink. Defiantly not worth the headache!!!

My printer consistently rejected the cartridges after using factory ones. May have been a seating problem. Not sure as of yet.Resorted back to factory ones

I wiped my cartridges' 'chip' before installation. I also received a message from the manufacturer that it was not a 'genuine' replacement on my computer screen. If I continue with installation it will null and void the printer warranty. I continued, and clicked ok. After the nasty-gram it worked fine. I also unplugged my printer for about a minute and plugged it back in. Have you contacted Inktonerman? They may have some suggestions. I hope this helps, it's so frustrating.

Thank you for your message. I am more than happy to assist you and I am so sorry to hear that you are having problems with the cartridges. Please rest assured that I am going to get this situation resolved for you as soon as possible. To get a better grasp on the issues you are experiencing, I would like to ask you a few questions: * What is your printer model? * What exactly is happening when you are attempting to print? Any specific error messages? * How many cartridges have you tried so far? * Have you removed any pull strip from the cartridges if necessary? * Have you tried taking the cartridge out and reinserting it? I look forward to your reply and resolving this situation for you with either a refund or replacements. Have a great day!

No, I tried but TS won't replace the incompatible cartridges bought four months ago with the printer because it's now past their 90-day return policy. I didn't discover the problem until yesterday when the first OEM cartridge ran out of ink. I guess they expected me to sacrifice the OEM cartridge when I received the printer to be sure their TS cartridge worked.

I get the same message too. That Epson's way of getting us to buy their brand. Just bypass the error message.

I've had no problems with the cartridges that I've purchased. The printer identifies them as being non-genuine Epson brand. They have worked well for me and were a much better buy than I can get elsewhere. I will be reordering soon. Hope this helps.

Had the same problem. Be patient. Remove the cartridges and re-install the cartridges making sure to seat them fully.

It ruined my printer. It really doesn't fit in epson printers. I ended up having to replace the printer even though I switched right back to epson ink cartridges. The damage had been done by trying to make these work.
