Printer Ink Secret, Revealed!

[shermhead0]

When my epson wouldn't let me print 1 more important sheet and I knew that it still had ink I was mad. I bought a continuous ink system (CISS) for $20 and haven't had to buy ink in a year so far. I am in charge of a 70k office supply budget at work and will never buy an epson product.

[Augurae]

Funny I was watching french documentary on "planned obsolescence", or how corporation make their product life cycle shorter to have you replace them/buy new one, when you don't really need or shouldn't need to.

Let's take Apple. My first fat Powerbook bulk laptop, lived for 7 years or so. My white Macbook lived for 4 years. My Macbook Air has only one year and is starting to slow down..

Prices are not only going higher, the rate at which we have to renew our devices is also faster and faster.

[GenocidalEdge]

@Augurae My problem is shoe companies pulling this stunt. It seems like my shoes as a kid lasted a good 2 years or more. And I was very active and always running around using them. Now, I have to buy new shoes almost every 6 months or so, even though all I used them for it to walk into town or work. It's not like I'm grinding the bottoms down on purpose.

[shermhead0]

@Augurae typical mac user. Computer slows down and you blame the computer.

[peeco19]

very good

[iTechNetwork]

Why do you have white ink cartriges uhm?

[MrModenait]

That didn't work for me.. HP 364 doesn't have those fun buttons.

[MawPawshaniere]

wait? wat kind of printern is that?

[OneHourShower]

i love brusspup videos

[taby448]

does it work on new kodak esp office version ???

[ricktbdgc]

my printers sucks so bad I can literally put in a fresh cartridge, and without printing a damn thing at all in 3 months the printer will tell me to replace the cartridge due to low ink level. It wont even allow me to print until I do. When I check the ink levels they are low but there is still plenty in there. I caught my printer doing a self-cleaning all by itself once a day or two.. I think during the self cleaning It burns off ink. you have to unplug the damn thing

[ricktbdgc]

@ricktbdgc the 4 ink cartridges cost $100, half the price of the whole printer

[szaboistvan007]

use CISS

[MegaWorldleader]

it also works with my coffee machine.

[aceshighsays]

The videos linked here are either on technology or sex. :D

[batonilevani]

I HAVE SAME PRINTER :D

[darkan99el]

Save a fortune and use continuous ink systems, I use one on my Epson B1100, comparative prices work out at about 50p per cartridge, I do crafting and believe me it saves me a lot of money and mess.

[KentuckyChicken2]

and when THAT is getting empty, you can buy really cheap ink in big bottles, open the original cartridge and fill it in and then close it again!!! voila! but the opening is in different places, depends what company it is...

[JohnisoneGR]

Epson user too!

[crazy8adv3ntures]

mines doesnt have it all

[AClarke2007]

Just think, people died while you watched this video; Gotta get em all!

[guzanero]

What a bitch of a cartridge!

[SectionTwelve]

This doesn't work on my Epson NX400 printer. At all. In fact, it made the printer tell me I was completely out of ink instead of telling me I had more of it.

[Woogoo336]

@SectionTwelve sometimes the chip is right. just try this when your out

[shadowsonic125890]

hit button get sprayed with ink -trollface.bmp-

[tpainfan689]

i Cant Find It For EPSON 69 Please Help

[999justforfun]

This is another bullshit on YT, the hole is not even a switch, it is just the guide for IC. I just take out the chip and see it, there is no reset switch.

[LyokoTravels]

I can't even find the reset button on the Espon 125 ink cartage at all D:

[AgedQuasar]

That my be true for Epson printers - don't remember but think your printer was an Epson. However, the chip is accurate on my Canon iP4700 printer; when it says it's out, it's out!

[aksa3227]

so cooooooooooooooooooooooollllll­llll yihaaaaaaaaa

[CoukasVideo1]

Total fake :D

[leebee1989]

It's fake, but this video doesn't make sense anyway. If your printouts are faded, you ARE running out of ink, regardless of what the cartridge chip says...

Pressing the button doesn't magic up more ink out of thin air...

[r4microds]

@leebee1989 : dude this was 2009.. im sure the chips have been upgraded in 2012. xD

[thecooldude9999]

this whole channel is full of shit.

[Unknown831143]

if this doesnt workkkkkkkk i would be laughing at u.

[TheMgs01]

thank you

[leaveblank]

Bastards..... :D

[mateszabolcs]

What he "pressed" was not even part of the circuit board. Just a dip in the plastic! :) Not a secret that manufacturers get their profit on the supplies and not the printer and there are tricks on both sides (refilling, cartridge id, resetting counters, non resettable counters) but this video is pathetic. :D Why would they put the button there in the first place if they want to sell an other cartridge anyway? :D lol (thumbs up if you agree)

[armanmedalla04]

youtube.com/watch?v=t_SO5Y0zjh­k&feature=related watch this you have affordable ink



[zkrat505]

a im sceptick!!

[58Medic]

LOL LOL LOL YvesWonGhz17

[YvesWonGhz17]

TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST TEST

[aftoyboy]

This is why I just let the ink tell me where it's at instead of resetting the chip. If my page comes out dim the I'll change it. Good trick though for those who aren't nostalgic like myself.

[muh1h1]

im usually not the person, who klicks on videos, just to say it's fake, but this is fake i think, cause the chip normally the chip only reads while printing, and counts the used ink.

when you reset it, it should still say empty, or full, but not the real value, apart from that i don't think ompanys would build in such a button, cause why should they?

[sanity599]

@muh1h1 Your logic is incorrect. You assume that the command that is read when the button is pressed is reset value to some number. Either full or empty. But that is not what happens. What it does is resample the amount in the cartridge. Because the cartridge was taken out and the powdered ink was moved around it will have different reading then it did before. I just pull out my cartridges and shake them.

[muh1h1]

@sanity599 but how does it read out the amound of ink? i can't understand that...

[ahschulz]

This is great for cartridges that are "almost empty".  Another option is to find your closest island ink-jet store. They can refill and reset the cartridges for you. Check their locations at islandinkjet . com

[Lovingthenaturalme]

@ahschulz Or you can buy the ink and refill them yourself.

[jgwoodworking]

*A better alternative is!!!!!*

Online and I think ebay They are selling "inexpensively too" re-settable cartridges. They still run out, but you refill the cartridge and put it back in. when it gets pulled out of the printer the chip auto resets itself. Instead you only buy ink, how cool is that. This works really well for me. Epson cx7400. beats $50 for a set of cartridges.

[Nesie1525]

You know why you always run out of ink? Because you just use it for print: test test test test test test test test test(ink running out) Oh darn.

[ericdavis2014]

i dont get it like does that determine how much comes out?

[akadumbnut911]

press twice for full ink bottle lol

[gokilforce09]

just use infuse ink for cheap

[telescopereplicator]

Geeeezz....what a load of crap !

When you remove the piece of plastic with the printed circuit board, all you see are

one small and two larger plastic pins. Memory reset?

You need to reset your intelligence button, man !!

[felixreyes223]

Your out of ink because u keep on printing test

[AndyDeiu]

Do this on Lekmark printer cartrige and your history

[gigigi1999]

Realality glitch found error, error

[dillinger9999]

I had a friend tell me this a few years back, and I always do the reset mem. before I throw anything out. but i never knew I could do any damage to the printer. But printers are so throw away NEways

[MrNoor95]

This is only applicable when we have some error in our software.. I mean.. That there is ink and computer is not detecting it.. But if cartridge is really empty.. It'll damage your printer!

[wbmaxon]

Thank you for sharing.

[Pieh0]

Laser printers ftw.

[FutureAbe]

Whats this world coming to? You can even trust a fucking ink cartridge anymore??

[OVERLORDxLEGOxMASTER]

@FutureAbe you can trust an ink cartridge then ???

[maicatai]

@FutureAbe LOL

[GigawingsVideo]

@FutureAbe We can't trust corporations anymore.

[salcidojosiah]

thats dumb, just use the ink till the printings dont come out right.

[nascarfire]

Sham!

[cape304]

That is interesting but my printer ink reservoir is clear and I can see that there is nothing in there when it's out. But I'll double check that button to see if mine has it. I have a Cannon

[AMD7thS]

baaaaarstards!!

[abduboy]

Guys this is fake.

Go to his chanell. Press on the playlist and then you see this vid in the fake catagory.

[ShortyProductions000]

If the printer gives less color, isn't that becuse it's actually running low on ink and not 'cuz the ink indicator says so? reseting the memory won't reset the actually ink and give the prints more color..

Just what i think :)

[msal619]

pc load letter?..the fuck does that mean??

[Jedhaase]

reminds me of the episode of american dad where they find the penut company secret

[28PSG]

I still can't finish printing the googolplex number...

[Magneticdud]

Thumbs up if you actually tried this fake trick

[ShaolinSkye]

@Magneticdud or you have a different printer, this worked for me

[Magneticdud]

@ShaolinSkye hahaha, liar, it can't work, it's so obvious that's a plastic stud, not a button

[jaykyu1]

HP Deskjet 2000, $ 24.00... HP 61 Ink Cartridge. $ 24.00 ... EVERYBODY know it is a SCAM. To be fair to HP, the whole industry is scamming consumers and anti-environment - these bastards should support re-use, refill, recycle. Consumers will support if only one of them break away from GREED and be different.

[MrMitchbow]

"why are we out of ink!!?"

maybe its because you printed several different "test test test test test..." papers

[TheVagelis7401]

press one for half refill...press double for a whole refill.....just think smart...LIKE ME!!!

[badoodles08]

there is no hole on the chip of the artisan 710

[diegodaudt]

lol my Canon doesnt have it

[thosmcgill1]

youtube. com/watch?v=  EEnI4ym Usw0

[CyrusCherry]

Please help, I can not find they 'hole' in it! How can I reset my Epson Stylus sx105?

[khoraski]

@CyrusCherry lol you cannot find the hole you must be terrible in bed

[TechToday990]

Buy a CISS

Cheaper in The Long Run i Suppose?

[Alciaeda]

noice

[ilovetonto18]

[daanp321]

THANKS A LOT

[MonkeyBlueAss]

Google-it for "chip resetter" . A electronic small device for resseting printers chips .

[anghesu]

I have a T0891 epson cartridge ...this trick seems to be impossible to accomplish in such a device! WHO KNOWS MORE?

[starizowid]

does this work in HP deskjet D4360 printer?

[jf99151]

Lexmark is going to be shot with a 50 caliber flintlock rifle , tomorrow.  : ) i've had enough.

[chabi3000]

@jf99151 Record on Video and upload it , i want these fuckers dead !

[MrMsUniverse]

is this for real?

[gdeathrow]

@MrMsUniverse No.

[gucciaddict]

Nice Trick.

[Flicker911]

May be you can save ink by stop printing use less words

[crusty21]

He he,...what bastards !

[MrOtti55]

Ho smontato una cartuccia epson stylus color TO804 ma il punto che schiacci con il ferretto non è altro che un perno di plastica che non ha niente a che vedere con il circuito ctampato e i condotti dell'inchiostro. Di che cartuccia stai parlando ?

[geraskrip]

I would like the same with BEER...

[bakersfieldmusicnow]

wow.thanx very great to know what about the brother brand.?/.i just got one...mfc-j825dw

[voiceboxguy]

thank you

[ILiveForMusic11]

Pressing the reset won't magically give you more ink. Sure it may help you read the levels better but when you're out of ink, you're out of ink, despite what the computer will tell you. 

[brittonseanweb]

You gotta be careful with this. Printers that do not have the head built into the cartridge [like the Epson above] will overheat if there is no ink supplied to it [even if you are not printing that color] and will burn the heads up. Your attempt to save cash could cost you your printer.

[LusoAustralian]

@brittonseanweb A lot of the times cheap printers cost as much as a full set of cartridges so it's not that much of a big deal

[brittonseanweb]

@LusoAustralian Funny you say that. I ended up with a brand new Epson Stylus 1400 because a friend found a new printer with cartridges cheaper than buying a set for the Epson Stylus 1400 he already had.

[LusoAustralian]

@brittonseanweb The printer companies really do try to scam us with cheap printers but there's always a loop hole ;)

[nh20003]

@brittonseanweb Printers cost less then Printer ink anyways...

[anothershakey]

@brittonseanweb prove it or it's all lies.

[BluPandax3]

@brittonseanweb Mr Obvious strikes again -.-

[laheja]

@brittonseanweb As my printer costs less than two cartridges I would not count that as loss :)

[GregoMorgan]

@brittonseanweb printers are cheaper than cartridges so still

[Makinwaves02]

@GregoMorgan lol

[MrJoolST]

maybe printers companies did it! :O

[vegetablescankill]

Is this real? imma try it with my printer.

[IRON660]

it's free o.o

[HerrShaun]

0:52 Paper grab fail

[screwloose455]

@HerrShaun

LOL

[MidnightEclpise]

@HerrShaun ahaha im not the only one who noticed, he was probably looking into the camera

[DanielSturk1]

@HerrShaun win

[4500intelx]

@HerrShaun he's looking in the camera that's why it happens

[simdude2u]

use a color laser printer.

[7Fco]

u used jst the rigth printer!! thanks!! XD

[jacobdanner91]

um.... what if it isn't printing anymore?? i'm pretty damn sure that if it physically won't print... it doesn't matter how much ink the cartridge says is left in it... if there is no ink left... there is no ink left...

[RyukriegerDenkiteki]

@jacobdanner91 It's just a guess, but my answer is that if this video is correct, then that circuit board thinking the ink ran out so it stopped the printer from retrieving the ink properly but... it's a wild guess, I don't know.

[cejk7]

I dont even look at tht screen.... i just print until the papers white

[Ycullin]

Cool you got the same type of ink cartridge as I do.But I have to crack open my ink cartridge holder open and I'm pretty sure I can'tdo it with out it being damaged.

[blehface3000]

you have telekinesis too!

[yakatie123]

i do it but ist isn't working..

[1sk8erchimp1]

MINE DOESNT HAVE THE BUTTON :'/

[hollisterbabe10109]

i dont get it

[raulito15604]

"button in the hole'' thats porn

[crookedfingaz1]

@graanbeerg factory loaded cartridge are 1/2 full so infact you have thrown money away try buying a set of cartridges for your current printer and see if they last longer

[crookedfingaz1]

@sibugjed buy compats the resetter you need is to much for single use and filling can be complicated to a novice

[TheMrbean97]

ahhh thats great

[SvenAERTS]

Shit, no such reset button in the HP 4200 series ... I'll continue my search. Maybe I'll end up covering 1 by 1, 1 of the 30 contact points. Maybe one of them signals the printer if this is an original or a recycled HP cartridge?

[varmman]

AHH!!?? you have white ink as well??

[antieye555]

how does resetting the memory make it so that the document ur printing go from blotchy to smooth

[BowmanMaster]

@antieye555 its fake

[Onemanband77]

This is the older type Epson got smart . The new ones don't have that button to push.

Or just write Chuck Norris on the printer, the Ink cartridge will never trick you again.

[jayfeathersmine]

awesome, thanks!

[lovebigboobs29]

Plus i pay half the amount of new cartidges when they are out of ink at this refill place up the street.

[lovebigboobs29]

I just keep printing till its out I dont pay attention to the out of ink icon.

[adzhar21]

press once and there's half bottle of ink?PRESS TWICE FOR A FULL REFILL!

[Warxoth]

@adzhar21 lol troll science :D

[kmlgaard]

@adzhar21 LOL :-D

[MrEvilgenius1337]

@adzhar21 INFINITE INK!

[mrjman13]

i use the same ink but the new cartridges prevent you from resetting anything. there is no button on the black ink, and the color ink one doesn't do anything. when you take the chip off the black one you see that it just relays to another sensor inside the cartridge and I dunno how to get to that one without destroying the cartridge. but thanks anyway

[mark33sv]

Tks, i just want to know howto doit enthiscaseTX120 .....'cosei have ink yet.
