Can I get my Epson printer to work with nonepson ink cartridges? -

Very cleverly I bought some ink cartridges online for my Epson70+ printer, sadly the printer is recognizing none Epson product and is refusing to print. Can you tell me how to solve this? Isn’t it illegal for Epson to monopolize the market so? Is there a class action?

hmmmm.... i have no idea sooorrryyy xxxxxxxxxxxx

I think so.

do not use epson compatibles. i have ruined 4 epson printers using cheap compatibles. they will eventually clog up your print heads and flood yer printer. it is better in the long run to use original inks, plus it voids your warranty if you dont use original inks.

Some of the newer printers now have to read a chip on the cartridge to see if it is a genuine product before they recognize the cartridge. This keeps you stuck buying their expensive cartridges. It isn t illegal, but it sure is annoying.

hi everybody i work in epson printer service center so i can help out guys. firstly dont buy non genuine epson inks. it will just shorten your epson printer s lifespan. also it actually has lower page yield compared to genuine ones and inferior print quality. as non genuine inks uses cheap materials, the ink is actually thinner than genuine ones, hence it smudges easily we are not monopolising the market but rather providing the best for our customers. also note that using non genuine inks voids your epson printer s warranty. I can guarantee you ll have satisfaction purchasing our genuine inks. i myself used to buy non genuine inks but just disappoints myself with the messy diy refillings and inferior prints. also i can answer your non compatibility issue. you see in each epson ink cartridge there is a small circuit board and a chip. 3rd party manufacturers try to imitate these but usually fails. THEY CHEATED YOU, NOT US. that s y you can guarantee that an original epson ink cartridge will always work on your printer. these manufacturers are out there to try to cheat your money from you and when there s defects they usually dont claim responsibility and does not allow refund. we own the patents for our ink cartridges, therefore we actually have the right to sue these cheat manufacturers but we don t

My picturemate did this and I just kept turning it on and off and it eventually accepted it, it is not illegal, they just want you to use their products.

If the chips are not registering there is nothing you can do other than return the cartridges and get you money back. Epson does hold the patent on the chips, thus no company can use EPSON chips without consent. Some of the third party chips are flawed and will not read, as you are experiencing now. This usually occurs for the higher quality printers such as yours. With regards to legality, it is not illegal for epson to incorporate technology that makes it difficult to use a third party cartridge, it is only illegal when it explicitly states that use of a third party product will void the warranty. The only time this can occur is if the damage is actually caused by the third party cartridge.

make them epson inks but another printer. may wrk? dunno can try but they get ruined easy.ebay sells em cheap. tehres this shop on ebay but cant remember name. its dead cheap. try em.

You could try one thing that might work. Remove the ink cartridges that are not being recgonized from your printer, and after the cartridges are removed turn your printer off. Then take a paper towel and go over each chip on the cartridges. After you cleaned the chips then turn your printer back on and reinstall ink cartridges. Now if that does not work I return the cartridges to where they were purchased. I purchase all my cartridges from this website....www.inkjetcartridge.com, they offer great prices and ship pretty fast.

They are not monopolizing market, just producing their cartridges in different standards.. But of course u can use different brands which produce according to epson s standards like Pelikan.
