I've properly installed the Continuous Ink System in my Epson Stylus Photo 1400, but it is not recognized as compatible. How do I fix this issue?

Sometimes it is just a matter of pressing the ink change button a couple times on the front of the printer. It's the tear drop shape. Also, there is a little white button above the cartridges that somehow resets the chip; press it and then the ink change button. A third thing you can try is releasing the cartridges from the print head and pushing them back in (and then pressing the ink change button again twice.)

I had the same problem with my black cartridges. I couldn't get the Epson cartridges to work. Contact InkOwl technical support at 1-888-446-5695.

I have an Epson Stylus NX430 and it also didn't work, ink blotted up... I wasted my money.

My printer knows it is not Epson ink cartridges, but it still prints. Sorry I do not have a solution to your problem.

Oh my I had the opposite problem! I was getting the ink system failure message before which made me consider a new printhead. I didn't know Amazon had them so I've ordered a new printer. Since it didn't help you maybe it wouldn't work for me. The reason for my problem-using remanufactured non OEM ink, the black cartridge was leaky. I thought it would be alright after wiping off and I did print some pgs. The problem was when I tried again about a month later..that's when I got the "ink system failure" msg and nothing I did took it away!

I use Epson Stylus Photo R280. I bought this printer specifically to use with my blank PVC card.

Not a direct answer, but I have an Epson WF-3540 and it works perfectly. No issue at all. Frankly, I decided the price was worth the risk - and it was for me.

Hi there, Sorry I cannot answer your ? check on google and ask them, or contact the ink co. to see if they list that epson printer, as I said before it works great. When you order also order the refills at the same time it will save you shipping money like I did... thanks Stewart...gsphotovideo.com

Epson has ink cartridges that are high capacity or standard capacity...of course the high capacity cost more. If you try an ink cartridge from a seller other than Epson, it will work, but do not get frustrated with an occasional "FIT" by the printer reporting that it does not recognize your ink...

I am not sure about your model. Go to menu, use down arrow to ink levels, press OK, go down to ink replacement, replace ink, at this point my model has a box that says the cartridge is not a Epson product, and then it asks it you want to continue anyway. just follow the prompt, (yes) I have had no trouble getting the printer to accept the ink. I have the WF-2540. Hope this helps.

Remove and put it back in cartridge slot firmly.I had this issue with magenta on my Epson 545 and this got it to recognize the magenta cartridge.

today I was able to find out that your ink cartridge is different than the ink cartridge that I use for my Epson. It will not work you will have to get information from ink owl to verify what kind of resetter that you will need sorry for the wait. I hope you find what you are looking for.

I had a similar problem and I'm sorry, but I can't give a technical answer to help you. I discarded my Epson due to the expensive, tiny ink cartridges that continually failed to work properly. My new HP works very well with its larger ink cartridges.

I just read that comboink.com has compatible cartridges @ 4.99 for each color. It would be nice to know before purchasing. It's insane to give what they ask for on ink cartridges. I order from comboink for my Epson and they work perfect for that model. My scanner light burn out on my Epson and I need to be able to scan and copy things.

None of my inks works? My printer says install the appropriate ink tanks. how can i make them work?

if it is like mine just pull the orange clip off and then the yellow strip that releases the ink. Immediately place in your printer as your original one. It should work fine. Mine do.
