thanks for sharing that knowledge, so if I got a Brother MFC-J4440DW which has the LC-436 cartridges and two sets of refillable cartridges with chipsets that have different serials then because this has interval not permanent memory we can beat them at their own game?
Hi. I wish I came across your video before I bought cartridge printer from Brother. It's the MCF J2340DW. It uses the LC462XL. May I know if it's the permanent or interval memory chip?
Thanks for the feedback, Interval memory is the better of the two , the permanent memory is the bad one that leads to less choice and more rejections. Interval is not a huge problem because if a cartridge rejects you can always use it again after installing another cartridge first and then re install the one that was rejected and it will work. HP and Epson are also playing these anticompetitive games with their chips. HP being the most active with updates and trying to stop use of anything other than their own brand
You can get compatibles that work fine with these printers . Make sure you check the compatible uses pigment ink like the original . A lot of compatibles on the internet use cheaper generic DYE based inks instead of PIGMENT ink because they are cheaper. You can get like for like compatibles if you ask the question.
With this type of control, one wonders why. My lc406 cost almost $70 to replace a cartridge. If the not fix soon, i will get new printer that allow refillable tanks.
LC 404 is from the North American region and is an interval memory printer. Interval is less problematic because it only remembers the last cartridge chip type , not every chip it has every had. Thanks James
Thank you for the video. Could i rotate two interval chip ink cartridges in a brother printer for an indefinite amount of time as long as i had a way to manually fill them both up?
The main thing is depending on the cartridge model used. The chip is the key not the tank itself. on all printers you can not use the same chip code twice in a row and some models ( indicated in the video ) can never have that chip code ever again. eg ,A, B, C, D, E , Always needs a new chip code each time. The other one can alternate eg A, B, A, B, A, B
There got to be a work around it data and some kind of ram on the main pc bord trek it lets the ic think it:s full all the time a one-time fix cut out ever one you to eco advanced lol you think hes not making a buck or two" the gold standard my ass..
Hold onto your printer as long as possible. You are lucky because your printer does not suffer from firmware upgrades that block your choice to save money and use aftermarket cartridges. Newer models all have this issue where the firmware blocks the chips on the cartridges . Your printer does not have a turn off function because it does not suffer from these upgrades. The ability to turn off the upgrades is only there on new er printers so customers can't take action against being blocked.
I tried the suggestion re cartridges however I still had no luck. I checked all of the carts from the 1410 and installed them in my Artisan 730 without any problem and printed okay. It would appear t be more of an electronic fault me thinks. I used the 1410 5 days prior without any problems and just switched it on to carry out a nozzle check and up came the X's against all cartrdges !!!
Unfortunately this settings are not available on my Stylus 1410. I've searched without success to overcome a problem where for no apparent reason my 1410 printer now tells me all of the cartridges are unusable by showing an X over the cartridges although they were operating fine for the last 5 years with generic ink cartridges.
Hi unless I am mistaken, your Epson 1410 uses the Epson 81N series cartridges. If so that series is not effected by the current firmware updates that Epson is doing to newer printers. This means the problem is something else. If you are getting an X on all the cartridges it may just be one cartridge chip has an issue and the printer then can't do the piezo check on the set as a full group. It could be the pins in the printer not making good contact but more likely just one cartridge chip has been over written to zero or is dead. take all the carts out and install just 1. then if the printer accepts it then install another one. trying to isolate which one is a bad chip.
Thank so much for the info will give it a try, however I did install a partially used genuine Epson 81N and that wasn’t recognised by the 1410 but recognised by the Artisan 730 which I also have. But thank you for your help.
It could just be 1 cartridge chip that is not reading full that throws off all the others or it could be the printer pins or a board in the printer. most likely just a chip on one of the cartridges @@ericbudworth5895
Both of the new series, LC-432 and LC-436 use PIGMENT Based ink. for ALL four cartridges not just the black . Some compatibles will use a dye based ink instead because it is cheaper and easier to match the colour ( develop ) Good quality compatibles will use Pigment ink like the original brand
Thanks for the feedback, Brother seem to be increasing the complexity of their chips with every new launch making it harder for people to keep up and track/ remember all the changes across different models. If you can track it then you have an advantage over others that don't track it.
If the firmware is already updated. You can not down grade . However we already have new chips available that are 100% compatible with the latest update. All our stock in the warehouse and in stores is or can be upgraded to the new chip.
