Re: Found: waste tank resetter for Epson 3800/3880

2013-07-21 by MyronG

I can't recall where I got mine, but I think it was simply the chip resetter for a 3880.

I took the stuffing out of a used waste tank, drilled a small hole near the bottom, front of the tank, glued a rigid plastic tube into the hole and ran a flexible tube from that down to a gallon plastic juice container secured to the side of the printer stand. Every once in a while I need to reset the chip, and eventually I will need to replace the container.  ...It's pretty frightening to see how much ink goes "down the drain", so to speak.
