Subject: Slightly off topic: Anyone have any spare C88 chips?

The ink resetter I got from Staples seems to have killed the only
black chip I have for my Epson printer that I refill. I have
auto-reset chips, but since I bought a C88+ and not a C88, they don't
seem to work right so I'd prefer to use the real Epson chips and reset
them myself once I get a better resetter. I'd be willing to trade the
auto-reset chips for a bunch of the epson chips.
By the way, the ink I got from the InkJetCarts eBay seller doesn't
work on brass sheets, as far as I've found, though I still need to try
heating it up and to try it with copper sheets. The ink seems
permanent though, the ink that got into the scratches I made with 2000
grit sandpaper wouldn't come off the brass with acetone - I figure
there's a micro thin layer of ink still on the metal that I'd need to
sand out.
