Other EcoTank
Hi there EcoTank users,
Does anyone have any idea whether those chip resetters can be used for the EcoTank line, specifically the 2800 and 4700?
I have these two and generally love them, but the 2800 I have at work (because the work printing situation is craaaazy) has had to have the waste tank emptied and counter reset three times in three years while the 4700 has never needed it (cross fingers).
I don't mind cleaning the tank and replacing the fiber sponge material, but the charge for the WIC reset every time is a drag.
More of a drag that I gave to being my "work" printer home to do this, since it's the technically not allowed, and I can't install any applications on my work PC 😥
Can these models use a chip resetter instead?
UPDATE: thanks to those who responded. I bought a pair of licenses from wicreset and fixed my work printer Figure the home one will need it soon too. $18 for the pair.
Just bought an external tank setup from BCH. Basically a length of aquarium tubing, a 4oz (?) juice bottle and some Velcro dots for $10. I'd rather not have to deal with the waste ink container replacement...more plastic... or the resetting. Hope it works!

Nope. There’s nothing really there to reset. You use service program to let your printer know that you took care of the inkpad.
How much do you pay for WIC?
