Answer
Compatibility of the Waste Ink Tank with Epson ET-2850
Yes, the Waste Ink Collection Tank Combo (AS-EP-WASTE-25MM) is compatible with the Epson ET-2850. While the product listing may show 25mm, that number refers to 2.5 mm, which matches the diameter of your printer’s waste ink output tube.
Both the 2.5 mm and 4.0 mm versions of this kit feature a dual-size connector. One end connects directly to your printer’s 2.5 mm tube, while the other end accommodates either a 2.5 mm or 4.0 mm fit, making the product versatile across multiple Epson models.
Essential Notes on Waste Ink Counter Resetting
Please note that this kit is a physical modification only—it does not reset the printer’s internal waste ink counter.
To reset the ink pad counter on the ET-2850, you’ll need to use software such as:
We recommend Inkchip for its ease of use and affordability. If your printer model uses a waste tank with an electronic chip, software resets may not work. In that case, you’ll need to identify your tank’s part number and source a physical chip resetter designed explicitly for that model.
