Where is the sensor in my printer that keeps telling my ink is low? -

I have heard that you can put a piece of black tape over the sensor to trick the printer into thinking you refilled it. I m not quite sure where the sensor is or what it looks like, can someone help me. Thanks

Take a look at this blog on inkjet printing for help. http://inkjetcartridges.hazaa.tv/ http://inkjetinkcartridge.net/

You didn t tell us the brand. If the printer is a Canon or Epson, the cartridge has electronic connections on it that are used for sensing the level. These have nothing optical to cover with black tape. Did you refill it? The places that sell the refill kits will sell you a separate device that will reset the cartridges, but they only tell you about the $20 more after you own the kit. Are you tired of the messages as it runs out or do you have an empty one and you don t want to replace the color and it won t run if one is empty.

That sort of printer counts expelled ink and estimates remaining ink to a safe point (often rather conservative) as the ink is not let run dry, then declares the cartridge quot;emptyquot; for the purposed of not killing the printer by possibly running dry..

I think it s in the chip on your cartridge. If you cover that then it won t work at all. You can buy a kit and refill it yourself.

Good question, I m also interested in the answers, but I don t know how to help you.

your printer deserves breakfast in bed.

oops!... its not fool proof dear.. for some printers you can do... go and refill your catridge just paing 5-10$
