Elementary question, I suppose! I've been using the MIS refillable carts for my R1800 and resetting them with a chip resetter each time I fill them up. The carts are labeled ARC-TO541-EC, ARC-TO542-EC, etc up through ARC-TO549-EC. If ARC means auto reset, why I am resetting them? Do I need to do that? And what does the EC mean?

I also note MIS sells HT (=Heat Transfer) carts for this printer. Can someone tell me what that means?

Thanks all!

I should that if I forget to reset them, when I reinstall them and look at the ink level graphic, it shows the cart as not full. So I pull the cart, reset it, and then the graphic shows full. Judging from this behavior, the cart does not auto-reset. But then why are they labeled "ARC"?

a puzzlement...
