Replacement and Reset of Waste Ink Absorber and Counter of Epson XP-750 

Hi Paolo, I just sent you an email asking you for the adjustment program for my XP-800. I took apart the printer, replaced the ink absorb er, put the printer back together following your step by step instructions on the video. I could have NEVER done it without your GREAT easy to follow video. Thank you so much!!

Instructions were accurate and easy to follow. It took me less than 15 minutes to complete the swap. Thanks, Joe.

Just replaced the waste ink absorber assembly (purchased from Amazon). Thank you! I could not have done it without your excellent tutorial!

Thank you Paulo, brilliant video. I have an Epson XP-760 and your instructions worked perfectly. I bought an Epson adjustment disc on-line for my XP-760 first, which worked flawlessly resetting the inkpad counter (the free versions would not work for this printer). Once that was successful completed, I then following your instructions to get to the inkpads. Just a thought for anyone to do with cleaning the inkpads. Like you, I washed mine, as you described and gently squeezed them to get the final amount of ink out. But then, I put them back into clean water and let them swell up with water again. Without further squeezing, I pulled them out of the bowl (dripping away!) and carefully spread them out on wads of newspaper to drain and sun-dry. (It is unusually very hot today in the UK, it took no time at all!) After drying, (unlike yours) they were “plump”, with (like yours), a small amount of discolour, but other than that almost like new, plump such that they filled the ink pad container almost as before! I did not bother to use any other chemical cleaners as I surmised that they were good enough to go back in. Without your video, looking at your flattened pads, I would not have thought to not squeeze the water out. It probably makes no difference as they would no doubt soon swell up with waste ink anyway!

Thanks for doing this , I almost binned it until I saw your tutorial I really didn’t want to replace it as it’s the best printer I’ve ever had, again many thanks.

Excellent and easy to follow tutorial. Paolo was super helpful when i got stuck as I hadnt read the comment about emailing him for the program. He was a star and everything ended well with a working printer. Thank you.

you're a great one! I tried the procedure on an Epson XP-850 setting the compatibility of the 2 programs on Windows XP. The only thing different from your video is that I had to select both the options in the "Check & Initialization" menu, ie "Main pad counter" and "Platen pad counter" because otherwise the latter was not reset. Thank you!

Very informative. My 850 printer works perfectly but needed cleaning. it was leaving black streaks on printouts. I didn't want to throw the printer away because it is a great little (slow) printer. Thank you so much for taking the time to make this video. Your English is great too.

Thanks for such a helpful video. I used this to find the ink pads in an Epson XP-605 printer. Not as simple as other printers I've rescued,but still fairly accessible with just a screwdriver. The software I used (WIC Reset, costs £5 per key) informed me that the main pad was at 100.99%, no wonder why it failed.

Absolutely awesome! I ordered a new ink reservoir with ink pads after I watched this video, from Amazon. If I can do this, you can do this. Just watch step by step, it’s perfect! I did spend the $9.99 on the WIC reset program, which also worked great! Thank you, thank you! Fixed my printer for less then $30!

Awesome - I had the hardest time trying to figure out how to access the waste ink pads and your video was a great tutorial! My fingers are black right now, but as long as the printer works, I can deal with it. :)

Had been feeling a little nervous about doing this but, after watching this excellent step-by-step video, I feel assured that a mere mortal such as myself can do what needs to be done. Thanks 👏🏾👏🏽👏🏼

Grazie mille! Sei stato utilissimo :)! Per chi leggesse, funziona anche con la XP-530.

Excellent video. had my Epson XP 700 a while now so expecting to get a waste tank full message soon. Your english is great. Thanks

Thanks for sharing this, so kind of you. Super simple instructions. printer fixed and looking forward to many more years of printing. Keep up the good work.

Fonctionne sur une XP 520! Tuto assez facile. Mr Marcelli est très réactif pour répondre aux mails. Grand Merci à lui.

Great video, saved me buying a new printer! Thanks

I must say very through guide and nicely narrated, so well done!! :) I've got my waste tray out and have cleaned all the sponges with gloves. There was a hole in one glove, so I now have black finger but clean sponges :D

Thanks a lot for this! Excellent step-by-step instructions. I now have a working printer again!!!

Thank you so much - this video was really clear and helpful, and the process worked perfectly for my XP-540. Much appreciated!

Thanks for info saved me throwing out printer - would not have been able to fix without your video

Great step by step video. Inkpads removed and cleaned in less than 30 mins. I've just emailed you regarding the next step of resetting the counter and where to find the software needed. Many thanks - one happy new subscriber!

Just followed your info, was able to get to the waste absorbers. My main issue was that the mini tank under the print head was not draining down to the storage absorbers. Used a needle plunger and forced liquid up the drain. Was able to clear the drain so the excess ink will now drain down to the storage absorbers. Thanks for the info and video. Did the trick.

A very good video, thank you for taking your time, and explaining carefully. cheers from sweden

Bravissimo, ottimo video, perfetto,non manca nessun passaggio. Non comprendo chi ti dà 'non mi piace', più chiaro di così non potevi. Tamponi di inchiostro rimossi, lavati e asciugati. Ti seguirò magari per altri aiuti. Grazie mille ! (EPSON XP-810)

Merci, explications très claires. Je cherchais depuis très longtemps cette procédure. Nota : Utiliser des tournevis tète aimantée!

Brilliant instructions Paulo. Many thanks. I have emailed you for a copy of the Epson reset program. Thank you.

Extremely clear, thorough and helpful - thank you very much!

You sir are a genius, excellent posting with detailed instructions Thank you.

This is superb. An outstanding example of how to make a good help video.

Excellente vidéo ! 1 heure, et mon imprimante fonctionne à nouveau parfaitement ! Merci beaucoup !

Many thx for this tuto, it’s working perfectly on XP-700 ! 👌💯

Great tutorial and how to guide :) Should stop people from throwing their printers out when they are still fine! One thing to note. The original pads/sponges can be cleaned almost fully and you can re-use them. You have to run them under the tap (at a low pressure) until they are completely clean - in my experience, this takes about 15-20 minutes per small section. (I reset and cleaned an Epson BX625FWD, which was actually easier to open than this - just one screw.)

Absolutely Brilliant!!!!! Very easy to follow. Thank you sooo much. I used WIR to reset. Type in Waste ink reset. download programme for free and type Trial in the key. Up and running.

Perfectly working also with my Epson XP600. Thankyou!

Hi Paolo. This video is perfect 👍. It’s work with my XP720. Thanks for all.

More Help than Epson Themselves, Thank you

Thanks for a helpful video, I've managed to save the printer going to the recycling centre !

Thanks a lot, Paolo! Now my XP-760 is working again!

Excellent. Easier than I feared.

Paolo, you're great! Thanks very much. I have an XP-620, but could use your very clear instruction very well!

Bravo! How you managed one handed and with your video I just don’t know😂 but your video is excellent and so very helpful. Thankyou from UK.

Buonasera Paolo, ho utilizzato ancora la procedura e ha funzionato egregiamente, sempre grazie del TUO prezioso aiuto.

Thank You very much. You explained it all very well.

Another excellent reset video my Friend!!!!keep them coming!

Excellent video, slightly different for my XP-960 but easy to follow, was going to buy a new printer, Thanks Paolo.

Super Anleitung, funktioniert auch beim XP-7100. Vielen Dank!

Hi, have just completed this sequence on an XP-750 Unlike most videos is was exactly correct in every detail. I watched the video a number of times before I decided to go ahead. I was in two minds as to whether to attempt it. Fact is, it all went perfectly, Brilliant video, thanks so much

Thanks a lot, it's very useful and it works fine with my Epson XP-830.

Excellent step by step video, good job!

thank you so much! 🤝 I didn’t want to throw away my old xp-530 because of such minor problem. Not only waste of money, but also bad for ecology. I’ve bought new pad on Amazon, and used WIC utility for reset. 😁👍

Thanks for the simple information on how to do it

Great video, saved me buying a new printer, I got reset code on ebay for £6 from craft media shop

Top quality video, to the point and well put together

Thanks a lot!!! Excellent tutorial. My XP-700 is working again!!! (Apple computer-MacOS Mojave)

Useful video! You can get replacement waste ink housings complete with new pads on ebay, I got mine for the XP-750 for about £12.

Thanks for your video. I have a Epson XP 530. It works perfectly. Molte grazie

very useful , very detailed and clear

Molto mooolto utile ed estremamente chiaro. Complimenti!!

Thank you for this great video. Works fine with XP 720.

very useful and well made ! Thanks !

Great explanation & solution!

Great video, well done, but I think I will put some compression on the sponges with an absorbent layer to dry them, it means they will retain their shape, probably just wash and spin in the washing machine... Thanks again, sorted a wee pigment printer out...

working with Windows 10 Thanks superrrrr!!!

Thanks a lot. I was just about to throw out my printer. But your video is excellent, very helpful👍 I´m gonna give it a try and see if I can rescue the printer from the container. The biggest issue will be the computerwork after the the mechanics is done. All the best to you. Thanks for sharing.

Thank you kindly sir, this worked PERFECTLY for me :)

Excellent very clear and so helpful.

Thanks for clarifying. Sumptuously.

You are a life saver, thank you.

A lot of help thank you very much

Excellent! very well explained.

Grazie Marcello per la competenza e chiarezza a spiegare i passaggi di riparazioni delle stampanti ,complementi per la fluidità e chiarezza anche in inglese . Vorrei chiederti in relativo alla stampante Epson wf 2630 che non stampa come : 1- pulire il vaso di Recopero dell’inchiostro 2- resettare la stampante Sono molto grato anticipatamente Grazie e buon lavoro

Hello! This was a very informative video, thank you for posting it! I'm curious if you know how to use new Epson "Initial" cartridges after they've already been used in the printer. "Initial" cartridges are easy to find and inexpensive and are genuine OEM Epson ink. Any thoughts to force the printer to keep using this type of cartridge would be much appreciated! Thanks!

grazie mille! Sulla mia xp605 ha funzionato alla perfezione!

Very helpful. I'm absolutely pleased.

Hi This has given me some thought, I want to fit a external waste system to my Epson XP 850,following your instructions I just can not see the fill tube, is this possible to access the tube at this stage and put the waste ink tank in back, after connecting the tube to the external waste tank,this would be very helpfull. if this is not the case,whats the chances of you making a full video on installing the Epson XP 850 waste tank system. It is very obvious you have the talent to do so. I really enjoyed the instruction. Many Thanks Ron Thomas

Thanks for the video. I just rolled the old pads dry. After rolling their weight was 70 % less than before rolling. That is enough.

your film was really helpfull

Great tutorial, thank you!

Yeay! It worked! Thank you for this easy guide and for the unlock program!

Complimenti, ha funzionato tutto!!! Perfetto

brilliant video thank you for sharing

Hi! This video was great I ordered a new ink pad and installed as per your video, thank you so much! I now need the key can you help please. Thanks again.

thanks a lot really help me get back on track to working

Thanks a lot... not needed for me but saved for the next time... Any recomended inks? CISS? rechargable inks?

Grazie! Ci ho messo una vita a smontarla e rimontarla perché alcune viti sono proprio messe lì per farti imprecare però sono riuscita a sistemare la mia stampante xp-540 che ha la stessa identica struttura! Grazie mille!

thanks buddy you helped me a lot! i'm not really thinking you can buy these sponges by themself but anyway i just try to use them ones again.

Great Job Very Detailed Easy to Understand I would like more Info to purchase your Program Thanks' Joe

Thankyou for your instructive video. Instead of cleaning the filters I have stuffed the box with cotton stuffings. Now I need a software to reset the counter. I have a MAC with software 10.15.2 Catalina. Do you have any suggestions where I can find this software ?

I was completely puzzled when I got the message displayed on the printer. your videohas really been helpful, i could manage the hardware part very easily for my XP-850. Very similar to the XP-750. Cleaning the pads with rubbing alcohol ( methylated spirit) worked very fine for me. Am a bit lost on the sofware part right now, but will dig a bit more into it as a side remark, I saw a comment from an a**hole regarding your English... am French and can only praise you for making a video in English to help a wider community. Ben fatto !

Great job, thanks and forza Italia!

Thank YOU So Much!!!

Hi, great video thank you! Can you please let me know where to find the software for Epson xp-452 please?

Ciao, davvero interessante! Faresti anche la versione in italiano? Grazie per i tuoi video utilissimi.

great video thank you have you got the link to download epsom adjustment printer program thanks

Hi Paolo, great video...I have an Epson XP-700 so it will all be the same physically?...does it matter that I am using Windows 10 for the reset key? and where can you recommend I get the counter reset key from? the printer has been working ok using W7 W8 and now W10 Thanks for your help

How bout the Ecotank models? The pads look the same but how do we reset the software? Thanks!

Hi Many Thanks for the quick response,after removing the tank can you describe the port,are there 1 or 2 pipes to connect to, also is there enough room to fit spring clips to hold the pipe or pipes together, other than that you have explained the removal of all very clearly. Regards welshman 2081

Bel video molto chiaro ed utile.....................

Paolo is the real deal - it worked on my XP-800. A few clarifications. (1) You need a direct USB connection between the PC and the printer - ethernet via a modem/hub will not work. If you need a USB check out Amazon - Monoprice puts out an excellent product at prices no store can touch. 4 bucks for a 6 foot USB (free shipping with Prime) - what's better than than that ? (2) The software that Paulo used - email him for it. Both the Epson Adjustment Program and the Unlocker are in the Zip file. I recommend using WinZip to unzip - it's a personal preference as I'm used to that application. 7 Zip (the native program) not so much. (3) Epson Adjustment program and the Unlocker worked in Windows 7 for me - no need for Windows XP compatibility mode. (5) "Destination" field below the model name was enabled in the drop down menu for me - I chose "Euro" and it worked. (4) Cleaning the pads is not easy - I got new ones via eBay. OEM Epson Waste Ink Assembly (For: XP-720, XP-800, XP-721, XP-810, XP-820, XP-615) - $16.99 and free shipping. Assembly and new filter pads - fit perfectly. Summary: it cost me about $22 (USB cable, new pads) including US tax in materials and very little sweat equity by following this video to get my printer going again. Grazie - ciao!
