Please read these instructions thoroughly before attempting to fill, refill or use refillable cartridges in your Epson Pro 3800 or
3880 printer. This model refillable cartridge can be installed one at a time as your Epson carts empty, or as a complete set. NOTE:
ink level tracking is NOT accurate with these cartridges. Ink levels must be monitored visually to avoid running empty.
Make sure your hands are clean and dry before handling cartridge chips. Oils and electrical shock or static can damage chips.
The instructions below describe how to fill and use refillable cartridges, in general terms.
1. Before beginning, you should have one or more refillable carts, 60ml slip-tip syringe, blunt tip needle and plastic priming tip.
These cartridges must have an Epson chip attached under the large auto reset chip to be recognized by the printer (see step 3
below). If you need additional chips, they can be purchased from Inkjetmall, but you will need to wait to complete the installation
until you have chips. Do NOT install carts without chips attached or you could damage the printer's chip sensors.
2. If this is a new Pro 3800 or 3880 printer, please test your printer first! It is possible to receive a new printer that has one or
more misfiring nozzles or some other defect. Make sure to run nozzle checks and perform some print tests to carefully examine
print quality. Look for striations or thin lines in the images, which if all nozzles are firing, may indicate head alignment problems.
This test will insure that you are installing the Pro 3800 or 3880 refillable carts in a printer which is in top working condition.
Failure to test your printer first, may waste time and ink chasing down problems that are related to printer quality.
3. Installing chips on cartridges: Each refillable cartridge comes with a large auto reset chip attached. This must have a
corresponding color position Epson chip positioned underneath it before installing into a printer. To do this, gently pry the plastic
base holding the large chip off the cartridge as shown below/left. Place the matching color position Epson chip in the chip area
with gold contacts facing the front of the cart as shown below/right. Then, carefully snap the large chip with plastic base back into
position making sure it sits flat on the cartridge. Press straight down on the chip with your clean/dry thumb to ensure it's properly
seated for a good connection between the two chips.
4. Filling cartridges with ink: Each cartridge has a colored rubber plug with pull tab on the back side- this is the ink fill hole.
Place a cartridge upright with fill hole up, then remove the plug. Always shake ink bottles before filling or refilling cartridges to
ensure pigment is in suspension for consistent output. Check to make sure the ink bottle and cartridge color position match before
filling carts. Using a syringe with long blunt tip needle attached, draw 60ml of ink into the syringe and inject into the cartridge,
then draw and inject another 10ml. (70ml fills the cartridge). Do NOT overfill cartridges. There MUST be a small air gap at the
top of the cartridge for proper function.

  • Page 3 REFILLING CARTS WITH INK Ink level shown on the printer’s LCD panel and the Epson Status Monitor will NOT be accurate with these refillable carts, so ink level must be monitored visually. The cartridge chips automatically reset themselves frequently, so ink levels will always read full or almost full.
