Generic Company Place Holder SSC Service Utility for Epson Printers
Like the razor industry, which sells you a cheap razor then robsyou blind on the blades, inkjet vendors used to sell their printersfor a song, then charge incredible prices for ink. I once owned aLexmark inkjet whose black ink cartridge cost more than theprinter. I never refilled it.
Over the years, ink prices have dropped from the absurd tomostly affordable, but not before spawning an entire industry basedon lowering those ridiculous ink costs--with cheaper cartridges andways to refill old ones. It's the latter practice that spawned SSCService Utility. This free program that allows you to reset variousparameters on Epson Stylus printer cartridges, including the inkcounters that generate out-of-ink messages.
Why reset the counters? So that after you've refilled acartridge, you don't have to live with warning messages that theprinter is low on ink when it isn't. In some of these cases, theprinter might not even let you print. The SSC Service Utility hasone other very nice feature. It allows you to clean the color andblack print heads separately. This saves ink when only one or theother is clogged while the built-in routines will clean all theheads whether they require it or not.
Alas, SSC only supports the older Epson Stylus printers of themodels listed on SSC's Web site. However, those are the printersthat may still carry hefty ink costs--or even worse, may have noavailable consumables, forcing you to refill your own or buyrefurbished cartridges.
