What I meant by "designed to fail" is that most of these ecotank printers need the counter to be reset by epson themselves. You can easily replace the pads. But you can't easily reset the counter. It is possible but it involves trusting sketch sites and paying for a license to use the reset software. Older cartridges based epson printers had waste tanks with chips so that it could know when it was replaced. Newer eco tank printers don't have the chip that let's it know when the waste tank is replaced.

That’s not designed to fail, that’s designed to be serviced. Do you call cars “designed to fail” because they need new oil filters and the check engine light comes on when you need an oil change?

[-] ThatoneNB23 1 points 3 months ago

Yeah but it's the same as if the oil filter in your car was super glued in and the dealership was the only ones that had the chemical to dissolve the glue.

You just said there are other ways to do it besides Epson. There are multiple sites that provide utilities to reset the counter.

The sponges are cheap. Way cheaper than using a cartridge printer. You can even just clean out the sponge and put it back in. You don’t have to buy a new one.

Even going through Epson’s first party maintenance program is way cheaper than using a cartridge printer. Like, orders of magnitude cheaper.
