This product is not sanctioned or manufactured by Epson and users must be aware that the use of third party inks and CISS systems can void your printer warranty. Please not these are not Epson branded products. The trade names remain the property of the individual companies and are used soley for a means of clarification.
CHIPLESS FIRMWARE
New Epson printers have individual unique 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 5 serial numbers encoded on the chips. Once Epson discover the used codes they use firmware updates to knock out the known serial numbers. This means sometimes non-genuine cartridges are not recognised by the printer and rely on your supplier to always have the latest chips in stock.
To overcome these issues a modified version of the printer firmware has been developed. Once loaded onto the printer it turns off the printers need to have any chips attached to the cartridges and will always read a full ink level (regardless of what level of ink is inside the cartridges). This means an Inklink can be fitted to these printers. The firmware has been developed by a third party called Tintec and available from their website
https://tintecshop.cafe24.com/
If you have a WF-4745 model please downlad and install the WF-4740 firmware. From that point onwards the printer will be identified as a WF-4740 (essentially these printers are identical with the WF4745 sold by officeworks and the WF4740 sold by other retialers)
The firmware is free to download and install, however you need to purchase an activation key to activate the firmware. The activation key is $25 USD (so roughly $40AU), and available to purchase from their website
(click here)
The website provide full instructions on how to load and install the firmware
(installing WF-4700 series chipless firmware)
. It is worth pointing out that Rihac do not warranty or provide ongoing support for the chipless software as it is made by a third party. Having said that we have installed chipless Inklink systems into thousands printers already with no issues.
Once the chipless firmware has been activated (using the activation key) an Inklink CISS system can be installed.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q1: How Do I install the Firmware?
A1:
The TinTec provide instructions on how to load and install the firmware
(installing WF-4700 series chipless firmware)
. A complete guide on how to install and activate the firmware is provided with the rihac Inklink CISS system.
Q2: Does the firmware void my printer warranty?
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.
Q3: Can I remove the firmware and go back to normal cartridges?
A3:
Yes, absolutely the firmware can be removed easily leaving no trace by simply updating the printer as per Q2.
Q4: If my printer dies can I transfer the firmware over to another printer?
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.
Q5: What if I accidentally update my printers firmware?
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 file. This recovery key file can be used to recover the chipless firmware if you accidentally overwrite the firmware.
Q6: I’m confused at the cost of getting the chipless firmware and an inklink system
A6:
It does vary from model to model but here is a typical breakdown for the WF-4745
Firmware Activation - Roughly $40AUD ($25USD)
Inklink - $145
Installation charge - $55 Instore at our Maidstone, Victroria HQ, or, free if you do it yourself.
