[QUOTE="EngineEar, post: 217862, member: 15624"] In addition to the Epson WF-R5690, we have an Epson WF-R8590, which also uses ink packs (bags) R24X or R22X; the problem is the same as with the Epson WF-R5690.....we have not been able to locate any non OEM (non-genuine) ink packs.....and of course the Epson ink packs are very expensive. While we are able to refill our existing ink packs with high quality pigment inks, it is the ink pack's chips that present a problem in that they have to be reset to indicate their new level of 100% after refilling. However, without being able to reset the chips, the printer will continue reading the refilled ink pack as "empty", or, at least at the same level it was before refilling. So, again, refilling is not the problem, but not being able (at this time) to reset the ink pack's chip is a problem. And again, what about simply replacing the Epson brand of ink packs with an aftermarket ink pack for the WF=R5690 or the WF-R8590......the problem with this is simply availability....there are no non-OEM/aftermarket ink packs available that I have found for each of these two Epson printers. However, if you are reading this article, and you know of some non-OEM/aftermarket ink packs, please...it would be much appreciated if you could share that. Finally, what about simply replacing the chips on the presently installed originally ink packs with new chips (that would indicate 100% fill level)...??? That would work....however, as of this writing, I've not located any of those new chips. Although this dilemma may seem like the only choice is to purchase the expensive Epson brand of ink packs, that is not a viable choice for me....and so I will continue working on a solution. Any ideas? Thank you! [/QUOTE]
