Epson C9345 (C-9345) Maintenance Box internal sponge set ET-8550

Description: For all Epson printers that use a C9345 (C-9345) maintenance box, here are some replacement sponges. There is data out now that shows that you can get multiple "cycles" of ink through a C9345 box before it comes anywhere near reaching overflow (perhaps as many as 5 cycles) using either a new C-9345 "chip" or a chip resetter. ET-8550 and many other Epson models use this maintenance box ! This is a brand new 5 pad set, in sealed plastic wrapper. Let's keep these plastic boxes out of a landfill by opening them up (not difficult) and removing and replacing those sponges. These duplicate the sponges in either an original Epson Tank OR a compatible cart. The below list will show all printers that use a C-9345 maintenance box. Cheaper than a new replacement box but EARTH friendly. Instructions shown on how these go in your maintenance box but also assuming you are resetting the chips or replacing the chip. Replacing the sponges in your maintenance tank WILL NOT reset your ink counter back to empty. Only a new chip or a RESET chip will do that. I also provide C9345 resetters, replacement compatible maintenance tanks and new chips. Maintenance Tank materials sold in my store. Explanation of each item and why you would choose one over another. The components you will find that I sell for Epson/Canon photo printers are for these models of maintenance tanks Epson C9345 – Epson T3661 – Canon MCG02. These maintenance carts work for various printers. See the list of printers supported in each auction. Your maintenance tank starts to fill up with ink that is sent there for cleanings or deep cleanings or just because you haven’t printed in a while and your printer decided to do an ink purge cycle to keep its nozzles clear of dried ink. Purge cycles are a GOOD THING. I sell: 1. Compatible Maintenance Tanks themselves2. Chips that go onto the Maintenance Tank3. Resetter to “reset” the chips on the Maintenance Tank4. Inside sponge material that soaks up and holds the ink (think diapers) For most printers, once your maintenance tank fills up with ink, it will eventually not allow you to print anymore until you replace it. That’s what Epson/Canon wants you to believe. In reality, TESTS have shown that at this point, there is still plenty of space left in the tank to continue to run ink through it for sometimes 2 to 5 complete additional CYCLES of ink. You have options which I will spell out. 1. Maintenance Tank. – You can just buy a NEW compatible maintenance tank. Remove the old, put in the NEW (which has a NEW chip) which will show the tank as EMPTY, throw away the old tank. You’re done. Except you have added to the landfill a big heavy plastic box that will take 100 years to disintegrate. Believe me, that’s the easiest thing to do. And in most cases my compatible maintenance tanks are cheaper and quicker than buying one from Epson/Canon. But other alternatives are also available. 2. CHIPS. Your printer writes data to the CHIP on the maintenance tank ESTIMATING how much space you have left. If you buy a NEW chip and replace the old one, your printer will be fooled into thinking your tank is now EMPTY and will allow you to run another cycle of ink into it. This is a little tedious to get the chip in exactly the right spot and may benefit from a little glue to get it into exactly the right spot. But the cost for a chip is lower than any of the other options and will get you by if you don’t want to invest in a Resetter. In this case you can just buy a new CHIP every time the printer tells you the chip (tank) is full. 3. Resetter. This is a device which will allow you to RESET the data on the chip to fool your printer into thinking your tank is empty and will allow you to continue to print. Chips can be “reset” over and over and you will NEVER need to throw away your bulky plastic tank. But resetters are an expensive item as far as things in this list go. They are intended for the most hardcore print enthusiasts who print A LOT. Resetters use batteries or USB power to “glitch” the chip and RESET it back to an “empty” condition. They are meant to be used BEFORE the tank reaches 15% of space remaining in the tank. If you purchase a resetter, remember this. 4. Sponge Material. This soaks up the ink in the tank and keeps the tank from leaking the ink stored in the tank. At some point, after many cycles of ink entering the tank, it will get full. You don’t want to have ink leaking out inside your printer, so this is a solution. Tanks can be opened easily and the old pads removed and either replaced or rinsed out and dried. My sponge material is made to fit perfectly into the tanks. Remove old pads, throw away, rinse the tank in the sink, dry the tank, install new pads. Keep in mind that replacing the sponge pads DOES NOT affect the ink level being shown by the chip. If the chip is showing the tank is full, you will still need to either replace the chip or reset it. The sponge material is simply an item that will allow you to continue to use the tank and eliminate the need to “throw it away”. Think GREEN. These options will extend your printing capabilities for all of the Canon/Epson models used by these Maintenance Tanks. Choose what fits your needs and budget. We will be here for you to get them going and answer your questions. Works with the below and any others I may have missed if your printer uses a C9345 maintenance tank. Purchase adds a token amount for shipping to keep my costs down.
