Customer Question
Is there a resetter available for the Epson WorkForce WF-3730 printer, particularly for T822 ink cartridges?
Answer
Can the Epson WF-3730 Use a Resetter?
The short answer is no; there is no traditional physical resetter available for T822 cartridges used in the Epson WF-3730 printer. This is because not all Epson printers support chip reset technology, especially newer models like the WF-3730. Traditional ARC (Auto Reset Chip) tools and hardware resetters are largely being phased out, especially for newer-generation printers.
What Are Your Options?
Fortunately, there is a more modern and flexible alternative: chipless firmware conversion. Instead of resetting individual cartridges, this method modifies the printer’s firmware so it no longer checks the cartridge chip at all. This makes the printer "chipless," allowing the use of third-party or refillable cartridges without interruptions from ink-level warnings.
Recommended Software Tools
We recommend using InkChip.net for chipless solutions. Their software is user-friendly, and they often support the latest printer models quickly. You can explore their chipless firmware options here:
➡️ InkChip chipless firmware (https://inkchip.net/soft)
If your model isn’t listed yet, it may be too new—but check back regularly, as they frequently update their support list.

As for monitoring ink levels after switching to chipless, you won't be able to check ink status through the printer's LCD. Instead, we recommend using transparent refillable cartridges. These allow you to see the ink levels visually, which can be a simple and effective workaround. While BCH doesn’t currently sell these cartridges, you can find them on platforms like eBay by searching for “T822 refillable cartridges” or “Epson WF-3730 empty ink cartridges.” OEM empty cartridges typically sell for $1–$2 each.
