Ricoh Carts 3300

[gstk]

If you have seen my other post in printing about the Ricoh (please view if you have a few mins) A fill Ricoh Black cart is 92 gram full and 62gram supposedly empty. They never fade so I am fairly sure it is software driven to tell you when its empty. Anyone found a way of ressetting the carts?

Cheers

If you are referring to the sawgrass ones then allegedly they cut out as a result of a vacum prompt, the theory being that it will run until totally empty. If any other cartridge then I have no idea.
Hope that helps.

Janners.

Why do you want to reset if the cartridge is empty?

[gstk]

Because I'm not convinced Its empty. I will break an empty open tomorrow

It won't be completely empty, it stops short of being empty of the printer will end up sucking air into the lines/head (assuming the Ricohs work similarly to Epsons)

We have a large number of gxe3300 genuine carts which are £10 per set. If there is indeed ink inside then buy a set of genuine carts (discounts for multiple sets) and use the new chips...

Depends how they work. They are bagged inside the case so you can't suck air - so either they are vacuum triggered or it is based on the chip.

it will be interesting anyway to see the inside anyway.

I knew I had seen it somewhere.
