    Isn’t it the printer that brick itself when the purge-sponge is ultimately soaked with ink ?

      mine has worked for years, and it went through 2 refills without issue. even if it did, cleaning a sponge sounds like easy maintenance.

        That one is a hard limit. Changing does not clear the error. Tho people have hacked around it if I remember correctly.

          there is a way to clean the sponge and reset the counter with 3rd party software. epson could have just put a menu option to reset that into the printer. but they might have already solved that problem. my printer is way newer than the ones i saw articles and videos about.

          10$ every 18.000 pages sounds like a good deal though.

          my model can apparently be reset much more easily
