If it doesn't dry out by itself, then get the can of air and blast away but make sure that you don't blast into the ink intake spigots. In all likelihood it has not burnt anything out as we are not dealing with high currents at all. If you are not, you will destroy the contact carriers whilst trying to remove them. These contacts can be removed if you are careful and know what you are doing. Your best bet is to carefully wipe the areas AROUND the contacts dry and/ or get a can of compressed air and attempt to blow the liquid that you had worked with away from the contacts or dry them out. Simply put the liquid you messed around with is causing readings across the two sense points that are now out of range.

The issue is not really that it is not recognizing the cartridge per se but it is not recognizing the values of the readings it is getting across the two contacts that connect to the liquid sensor. I fully suspected that you had messed around with liquids around the contacts as that is most likely the cause for failure or the printer not recognizing the cartridge. What they do is emulate the sensor so that a similar reading is produced as when the OEM cartridge is sensing liquid. No aftermarket chips have this sensor built onto their bodies. On OEM cartridges this liquid sensor looks to be a capacitance or possibly resistance sensor. These two contacts are there because the OEM cart has a liquid sensor that works by detecting if there is ink at the bottom of the cartridge just before the internal pickup. The problem you are having is that this generation of printer is different from the other ones you worked on because there are an additional two contacts on the cartridge and carrier.
EPSON STYLUS PHOTO 1400 ERROR DOWNLOAD
The Epson 1400 is very easy to reset (Websnail has this utility for download on his website). Did you press the cartridges deep enough into the printer ? Back to your problem: I too had some problems with the chips being recognized by the printer and I discovered I had to press really hard to fit the chips to make contact with the printer's electronic circuit. Not sure about the fade resistance, but I am now doing some real world fading tests (will report back in a few month time). The first prints are actually very impressive with the canned profiles and B/W prints do suffer much less from the greenish tinge which is very visible with the original Epson Claria dye ink. I was rather sceptic about the ink quality (low vibrancy, small gamut). I believe I only paid about 37.- (about $45). I am now testing the dye based 's version and I am actually quite impressed by the print quality and vibrance of the refill ink. However: I also have an Epson 1400 and I am now currently testing two types of CISS (one from (dye) and one from ).
