Extend the Life of Printer Ink Cartridges
If you’ve got an ink jet printer then you’re likely spending a lot
of money on ink. Most of these printers use expensive and sophisticated
ink cartridges. These cartridges monitor usage and estimate the amount
of ink remaining. The estimate is usually conservative, meaning it
indicates you are out of ink before you’re really out of ink.
If you reset this memory then you can keep printing until the
cartridge is actually empty. Depending on the brand and model of
cartridge, this reset is actually really easy. If you look above the
small circuit board on the cartridge, there is sometimes a pinhole reset
button, kind of like the paperclip eject hole on most cd rom drives.
Check out the following video to see a demonstration.
I should also note that not all cartridges can be reset in this way.
Here are a couple of sites that show other methods of resetting
some cartridges.
Doing a cartridge reset is also useful if you refill your own
cartridges, since the cartridge may report that it’s empty even after
you refill it. If you do a lot of color printing, you may consider
generic cartridges or even a continuous ink system:
I should also mention that laser printers have become extremely
cheap. I rarely print in color, so a black and white laser printer is
very cost effective for me. When I need to print photos, there are lots
of drug stores or department stores that do a great job for a low price.
If I need to print color documents, there are many great places to get
that done at a reasonable price too. With a $100 laser printer, you’re
often able to print thousands of pages of text on the toner cartridge
that is included.
