epson chipped cartridges

peter_the_piper

I have, according to the Epson program, come to the end of my black cartridge. Having removed it and given a shake, there seems to be about 50% still in there. Is there a way of overiding or reprogramming the chip so as not to waste it? Epson C84.

This is a must have Epson utility


SSC Service Utility allow you to do many amazing things with Your Epson printer :

1) Work directly with CSIC in Epson Stylus printers cartridges.
2) Freeze internal ink counters.
3) Reset internal ink counters even with empty cartridges.
4) Separate cleaning of color and black heads for all Epson inkjet printers, powerful cleaning mode.
5) Hot swapping of cartridges supported.
6) Resetting of protection counter (even then it is already full).
7) More then 60 different Epson printers supported

This allow many people with high printing demands to save some money (program works with both black and color cartridges).
