Do these cartridges require the purchase of a chip re-setter or has anyone used software successfully to match new cartridge with printer? Thank you:)

I have no idea what a chip re-setter is. But I can tell you that my Epson XP-800 printer does inform me that I'm not using the factor printer cartridges. However, I just select yes and continue and I'm good to go. Don't know if all the Epson printers work the same but mine does. I hope this helps!

Worked ok with my Epson printer. Just got a message that cartridges were not Epson cartridges. I selected "ok" and they have printed ok.

Not for mine. Put them in and got a message saying these are not original but do I want to use . Answered Yes and they work fine so far,

it worked as is but the printer will tell you it's not genine ink and that it may void your warranty. but the inks worked fine for me

We had no problems with installing these cartridges, and they are functioning well. These were just replacement ink cartridges, took the empty one out...put the new full one in, done.

First time I tried these cartridges, the printer would not recognize them as Epson cartridges....took all of them out and reinstalled and the printer accepted them

Did the kit come with the "chip resetter"? It's a small device that is pressed against the cartridge to reset the chip so the printer thinks the cartridge is full. This device must be properly positioned in order to reset the internal chip.

Before panicking, I would unplug the printer for 30 seconds after shutting it down, and do a reboot with the new cartridge in. If that doesn't work you can try it with the old cartridge in and then change cartridges after the reboot. I'm figuring you probably have this resolved by now, so can you tell us what ended up happening? Thanks.

The chip is part of the cartridges. The printer uses them to tell you how much ink is in them. Once the chip says the cartridge is empty it won't work anymore. Even if there's still ink in it.

Cartridges have a chip on the outside. I have bought 3rd party cartridges for other printers but I don't see them for this one. They're not expensive anyway. And I do use the LC103BK high-yield and LC101 series for color, though you can use high-yield for color as well. Careful to make sure you're ordering cartridges for this specific printer as other Brother high-yield cartridges won't fit.

Hi Ryan - I use these cartridges with no problem. All I can think of is to figure out how to reset your printer or printer settings (Google how to reset to factory settings)? Worth a try. Best. Josh

NO! I haven't found a 3rd party cartridge that works. You have to pull the chip from an OEM cartridge and put it on the 3rd party one to make it work. If I had known, I would not have bought this printer. Otherwise, I love it.

I was never able to get the printer recognize the cartridges. I did as one reviewer suggested - fiddle with the contact points on the chip to no avail. I can get it to work sometimes if I unplug the printer and mess with the contact points on the chip. It's frustrating. I understand many reviewers have been successful using these cartridges. This is my experience. I broke down and purchased genuine Epson cartridges. I'm in watch repair as a profession so I'm very familiar with small circuit boards and contact points.

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

Yes, according to all the sellers on the certain huge online auction site not-to-be-named. But, you have to keep in mind that the chip and printer will forever remember each other and the printer will continue to give you a pop up stating your ink is low, when in fact you just filled it. The ink level is a guesstimate and not an actual level indicator. You can buy off-brand cartridges and put the old chip on them, but they will show as empty. You have to force the driver to accept that you wish to keep using the "empty" tanks. It works, it's just annoying.

No idea but the if the cartridge has a chip, and you cannot reset it, then it's not going to work. My case is even with the refillable Lexmark cartridges, it still refused to work after the refill. Nothing wrong just the printer detected the refill and 'refused' to use it.

Thomas; I can not help much because I don't know about a chip resetter. I can tell you that some cartridges will be recognized by the printer (810) and some may not be. I can also tell you that soon when the ink level falls a bit they will become unrecognizable. Epson put a lot of time and effort into their precious ink system and their printer will hound you until the day you or it dies about using genuine Epson ink. You will get so many messages that you may give up and buy Epson inks at exorbitant prices just to shut it up.

Not by any documented process. toner replacement kits need to come with new chips.

I don't know about that specific chip but it never worked for me - it was just too cheap to worry about the return. I since changed to an HP printer that allows used cartridges.

I have the same printer. The cartridges were not recognized, so I believe they do not have chips.

This return program cartridge should definitely work if it is the right one for your printer, even if you were to refill it with a kit you found ,it would still read empty or not full because the chip on the back would have to be reset and I don't knpow if anyone other then Lexmark can reset it at this time.That's why people are having problems with after market refilled cartridges.

They do not come with chips. There is a you tube video that shows how to fill and remove the chips from the old cartridges and put them on these cartridges.
