New cartriges received but only the black cartrige is recognized by my printer EPSON NX415. The colors cartriges are not recognized, How fix.

The non-oem ink cartridges usually has an Automatic Reset Chips. Take out the cartridges that are not recognized for 2-5 seconds and place them back in. This will trick the printer to recognize the ink cartridge as new.

Just keep pulling them out and putting them back again. And power cycle your printer. It's a pain in the ass, but will likely work eventually.

I used to have the same problem with them, sometimes my printer says "can't recognize this or that color". What I do, is I make sure that my cartridges are full, and I take them out one by one from the printer and shake them up. For some reason, after I shake them, the printer recognize them. It's might be a "texture" problem with the ink, I think they not thick enough like the original Epson ink, so you have to shake them up constantly. I also want to note, that the first prints are going to be messy, you have to print out at least 5 copies before you get a perfect one.

I have Epson artisan 1430 printer and have used refillable inks for 3 years. Black solution for me was found when using light room set sliders to black and white then process photo. You can also accomplish same in Photoshop Elements and PS 5. When ready to print you must also remember to select black and white option in Epson printer properties before you print. Problem solved beautiful output achieved

Talk the cartage out " black & color " and reinstall again and see if the ink levels are displayed and where the levels are shown . Make sure that the printer window is set on photo print / copy's in color not black n white . I am not fully educated on this printer , check the instructions to make sure you / me are doing it correctly. I hope this helps ..

Sorry, I don't know the answer. My best, and probably obvious, suggestion would be to contact EPSON directly. They will give you the correct solution to your problem.

I have an Epson NX400 and it worked. Had to run the clean option several times since printer was unused for a few years. Your printer is listed as compatible. Price is far less than the original.

I am at a loss.... The picture is only of the Epson Color Cartridges, what black cartridges are you referring to? If memory serves, this set is only for the color cartridges.

At least the black cartridge DOES NOT WORK on my J870DW printer. Thinking the first one might be a dud, tried a second one. That too didn't work.

You did not provide the printer model.Now, did you try to replace the cartridges with ORIGINAL ones? Even empty ones will do, just to test if they are recognized by the printer.(ONE cartridge will suffice for this test.)If the printer will recognize such a cartridge (even an error msg. will serve as 'Recognize'), you know what I already know: never look at this vendor and his products again...

From the Maintenance tab in Printing Preferences, do a nozzle check to see if any colors are missing from the test pattern. If so, do a head cleaning. You may have to alternate between these steps several times. Try another cartridge. If that doesn't fix it, you may have to take it to an Epson repair shop. They can soak the nozzles in a cleaning solution. The shop I use charges $50 if they can fix it, nothing if not.

I've not found a way to do anything except greyscale. Look in "Properties" and see if it's possible with your printer. I think that unless you're printing with greyscale, you are using black.

You will always have to clear the warning when your copying but not when you print from your computer. That is how it is on my X6350. Also when copying I have to set my brightness to the darkest setting. The other issue I had was it couldn't align the print cartriges but it seems to print ok. When I tried to email the compnay with the address they sent with the cartridges I received a message saying that was an invalid I checked and tried again and received the same message. Hope this helpsSteven

You're not particularly clear on exactly what isn't working. For example, does the button not respond or does the page come through without anything on it? A good debugging step would be to see if it prints in black/white and gray scale. Then you would know it isn't in the cartridges. Another potentially stupid suggestion...have you tried googling the specific problem to see if others have already solved it?

Hi John, the cartridge are supposed to be "plug and use", if they are not being recognized by the printer, contact the seller, they should be fine to replace them for you. It happend once to me on one black cartridge, the seller asked me to trash it and he send me a replacement one that worked fine.

my epson nx 625 stops printing when it notifies me that a color cartrige needs to be replaced even when the black cartrige is full. hope this is useful.

Not sure to be honest, but I know that my printer would not recognize the color, but recognized the black.

why won't my hp 6500 print in black? It is a new cartridge that worked previously. I've tried taking out all the cartriges and cleaning them...turning it off and on...unplugging it etc... Any suggestions?

Yes - I have the NX420 and it works great now. At first, it gave me a few error messages about "ink not recognized", but after taking all of them out and putting back in again, it worked fine. It is worth noting that I ordered two packs of these so far - the first one had two black in cartridges that were pretty crappy. one of them worked for several months and then crapped out with some error messages. But the newer pack has worked out great so far. Also, with this (and most other 3rd party products), the sellers care a lot about their reputation on amazon, so when i had trouble I just contacted them first (rather than giving a 1 star rating) and they were cool about trying to fix the problem.
