Hi Mark,

In order to do a successful refill on Epson cartridges with 9 contacts
on the chip the cartridge must be refilled before the level of ink in
it goes below 10% of full. To check this the cartridge to be filled
must weigh at least 21.5 grams. Also, a chip reset device has to be
used to reset the chip to read "full". If your Walgreen store does not
have the reset device they can order one from supplysource@[EMAIL PROTECTED]
 $16.95 plus ****pping.
