Re: Epson RX700 Printer error

[janesprando]

Charles, I have never heard of Cartridge World. I'll have to check and see if there is one in Portland.

I don't know about chips. The ink cartridges were replaced last month, so most are new. Epson says the ink pads need to be replaced. The repair shop I called says my printer is hard to service because they have to tear the whole thing apart.

Try asking at a Cartridge World store. It may be something simple like
the waste ink pad. Also they may be able to rechip the expired
cartridges w/ a new date chip.
You may be able to find the chips on ebay. (I know I can get HP chips)
