Which Waste Ink Kit Works for Epson EcoTank ET-2850? A Detailed Guide

Question:
I have an Epson ET-2850 printer. Which of your waste ink kits is compatible with it?

Answer:
Now, let’s address your question regarding the compatibility of our waste ink kits with the Epson EcoTank ET-2850.

The good news is that both our 2.5 mm kit (labeled 25 mm) and our 4.0 mm kit (labeled 40 mm) will work with your printer. Here’s why:

• The Epson ET-2850 has an output waste ink tube that measures approximately 2.5 mm in diameter.

• The dual connector that comes with our kits has been specially designed to fit 2.5 mm on one end and to accept either 2.5 mm or 4.0 mm tubing on the other end.

• Please don’t be confused by the SKU labels like “25 mm” or “40 mm”—these are internal references and sometimes limited by character constraints. The important part is the 2.5 mm internal tube diameter, which both kits support.

So, you can confidently choose either:

• The 2.5 mm Waste Ink Kit (https://bchtechnologies.com/2-5mm-waste-ink-kit.html)

• The 4.0 mm Waste Ink Kit (https://bchtechnologies.com/4-0mm-waste-ink-kit.html)

Important Note on Waste Ink Counter Reset

While the waste ink kit provides a physical container for collecting ink (preventing internal overflow), it does not reset the printer’s internal waste ink counter. You’ll need to use reset software for that purpose.

For your ET-2850, we recommend:

• Inkchip.net (https://inkchip.net/wic) – It’s user-friendly and cost-effective.

• WICReset (https://www.wic.support) – Another viable option if Inkchip is not accessible.

Keep in mind:

• If your printer has a waste tank chip, software resets won’t work. In such cases, you’ll need to identify the specific model of the waste tank and purchase a physical resetter that matches it exactly. This is more common in certain newer models, though the ET-2850 typically does not use a chipped waste tank.

Important Service Note:
Tackling printer problems often requires hands-on interaction, which limits the effectiveness of remote assistance. Therefore, we’re unable to offer real-time troubleshooting or repair support remotely. However, BCH Technologies does provide in-person repair services at our diagnostic facility (https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service). Please note that due to high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis, and turnaround may take a few weeks.

We offer repair solutions for complete printers and specific components, and our process includes clear guidance. Still, we acknowledge that our rates may not be the lowest available. For this reason, we encourage self-guided troubleshooting by leveraging resources online. A great place to start is our BCH Technologies YouTube channel (https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies). Use the search icon (found next to the “About” tab on our homepage) to find videos on your specific printer model or issue. With over nine years of content, searching by keyword is the fastest way to locate what you need. And don’t forget—YouTube may also recommend helpful videos from other reliable sources.
