so does that mean once you reset the counter and rig up this setup that you will never have to reset it again?

[DebenDave]

@Gb755c No it just resets the counter back to zero and then it will start counting again but you reset it again but it takes a while so its not a pain.

does it have this on all epson printers??

[DebenDave]

@smexable all ink jets as far as I am aware.

Very good idea. One problem I saw ( or maybe I missed that step) is that the top of the bottle needs to be vented. a filter needle would work good so log as the doesn't touch it. If the filter gets wet, the air won't pass through it. Without a vent, the positive pressure from within the bottle is going to put a strain on the pump and make it wear out sooner than later.

But other than that, good stuff!

[DebenDave]

@jbaumhauer Yes I agree and although it is not in the video I have commented several times saying that the bottle must be vented but thanks for poiting it out once again.

I have been using the epson 1270, then 1280 for many years and have spent a lot of money getting the waste ink pads replaced as I didn't want to undertake the task. I just reset the counter about a month ago and was looking through youtube to find out how to replace the pads. Your video is a great surprise!

@pauldazeley I know this might be a bit late, since ur post is 5months old, but afaik mac os x is unix-based therefore any program that works for this on linux *should* (as long as it's posix) work on the mac, tho' u might need to do a bit of comand-line scripting. (i've never owned a mac, but i managed to fix an adminstrator-rights problem for him) anyway if this is no use to u, my apologies, maybe it helps someone else :-)

thanks this helped a lot

Thank you for taking the time to do this! I am very frustrated with the planned short life span of Epson Printers. I am on my second Artisan 835 because of the waste ink pad issue.

@bobbo924B I'm not aware of any programs for the mac that will do the job but if you can get access to a windows machine from a friend or family just for the purpose of resetting your printer it would solve the problem, hope that helps.

Wonderful video. Alas, the application at the website is Windows-only. Any software that can do this on a Mac? Thanks for a great video, and I would appreciate any suggestions.
