Chipless firmware information
CHIPLESS FIRMWARE | |
New Epson printers individual serial numbers encoded onto their cartridge chips. Each serial number can only be used once. This means a resetting chip cannot be developed. Presently the only option aside genuine OEM Epson brand cartridges is to use aftermarket cartridges. The issue with aftermarket cartridges is that there is only one chip manufacturer in the world and there is only 10 serial numbers known for most models. This means only 10 individual cartridges can be used for each colour. The 11th cartridge will fail to be recognised and the only option after this is to use OEM genuine cartridges.

Frequently Asked Questions | |
Q1: How Do I install the Firmware? A1: It does vary from model to model. Both the chiplesssolutions.com and inkchip.net websites show you specific instructions on how to install the firmware on their respective websites. The Inkchip.net site also shows a video on how to install the firmware for most models. However, in some cases (XP-4100, XP4105, WF3720, WF3725, WF-3730) epson have made some recent changes in their OEM firmware. These changes mean you do not need to put these printers in firmware update mode (as per the websites video and written instructions). For these models all you need to do is run the chipless firmware updater software in ‘normal mode’, which makes the process even easier. But feel free to contact us as we can guide you through the process if you have difficulties and our Inklink installation manuals show you the latest chipless firmware installation method. A2:We would assume so, however the modified firmware is easily removed without trace by simply updating the printers firmware using the Epson software updater (provided with your printer) or via the Printer’s LCD panel if it has one. A3:Yes, absolutely the firmware can be removed easily leaving no trace by simply updating the printer as per Q2. A4:No. The chipless firmware is locked to the printers serial number, so if something happens to your printer, you would need to buy another activation key for a new printer. A5:If you accidentally overwrite the firmware it will go back to it’s pre-chipless state and cannot use the Inklink . During the activation process you are provided with a recovery key (a sequence of letters and numbers). This recovery key can be used to recover the chipless firmware if you accidentally overwrite the firmware. A6:It does vary from model to model but here is a typical breakdown for the XP4105 Firmware Activation - $55 Inklink - $140 Installation charge - $40 Instore at our Maidstone, Victroria HQ, or, free if you do it yourself. Total: - $235, or $195 DIY |
