Can I use Epson 3800 M and LM cartridges in a 3880

2016-04-01 by rdeloe1@...

I have an Epson 3880 that I am going to use for dedicated black and white printing using Carbon-6 ink with refillable cartridges. The refillable cartridges need an original OEM chip from an Epson cartridge.

I found a full set of long-expired Epson 3800 cartridges. I know these chips would all work in my 3880 refillables, except for Magenta and Light Magenta (which are now Vivid Magenta and Vivid Light Magenta in the 3880).

Does anyone know for sure whether or not a 3880 would accept refillables with 3800 LM and M chips? This posting on another site says "yes", but every other posting I've read anywhere says "no".
