For some compatible or remanufactured Epson, Canon, Dell and Lexmark printers cartridges, sometimes you cannot read the printer level, or even though your compatible cartridge is full of ink, it still shows no ink on your screen.





The problems are due to two reasons:





The first reason is that, for some remanufactured cartridges, they have chips inside where there is a memory to register the ink usage, even if you refill the ink physically, the memory still consider the cartridges as 鈥楨mpty鈥?





Solution: As some cartridges have a bladder inside so that you must puncture just right with the needle to refill them properly.





The second reason is that, for some compatible cartridges, the new chip inside the cartridges cannot be recognized by the chip reader on the printer.





Solution: Update the driver of your printer. Also, you can reset the cartridge with a chip resetter.
