Most cartridges these days have chips that keep track of how much ink they've ever released, and they refuse to work once that amount reaches the amount of ink

Most cartridges these days have chips that keep track of how much ink they've ever released, and they refuse to work once that amount reaches the amount of ink they were shipped with.
- nicolaslem 4y agoI think that these chips are way simpler than that and only estimate the remaining ink based on the number of pages they have printed.
- josephcsible 4y agoSure, the details may vary. But the point is that if you don't take care of the chip, the printer will still consider a refilled cartridge to be empty and so refuse to print.
