Question:
I have an old Epson R2880 printer that still works very well, but finding cartridges has become very difficult since Epson discontinued this model. The cartridge type is T096X. Do you carry all the inks for this printer, especially Light Light Black, Light Black, and Light Cyan/Magenta? If yes, what are the product references, and what type of resetter is needed for the T096X cartridges?
Answer:
-
Light Light Black (LLK) and Light Black (LK)
-

Chip Resetter for T096X Cartridges

The Epson R2880's T096X series uses 7-pin chips that can be reset with a compatible tool. We recommend the following:
-
Chip Resetter for Epson 7-Pin Cartridges (T0xx Series, including T096) (https://bchtechnologies.com/collections/accessories-resetters-cartridge/products/chip-resetter-for-epson-7-pin-cartridges-t0xx-series-t048-t049-t054-t055-t056-t057-t058-t059-t060-t062-t068-t069-t071-t077-t078-t079-t080-t081-t088-t099t098-as-reset-ep0)

This resetter works across a wide range of Epson cartridges in the T0xx family, including the T096X used by your R2880.

Practical Tips
-
Since Epson no longer manufactures these cartridges, refillable versions paired with a resetter are the most reliable long-term solution.
-
Always reset the chip before refilling, otherwise the printer may still read the cartridge as "empty."

Addressing printer issues and supply shortages can be complicated because of the hands-on work required. For this reason, we're unable to provide remote troubleshooting or repair support. However, we do offer an in-person diagnostic and repair service (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service). This service is first-come, first-served, and due to high demand, it may take a few weeks before we can handle your printer. Our team provides full printer repairs or part-specific servicing, but we recognize our rates may not be the most economical. Many customers find that self-help through research is the best option. We recommend starting with our YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). Use the search icon next to the "About" tab to look up content on Epson cartridge resets, refills, and ink alternatives.
Thank you again for your thoughtful question. We truly value your support and are glad to guide you in keeping your Epson R2880 running strong despite cartridge discontinuation.
