Which Waste Ink Kit Works for the Epson ET-4850? Here’s the Definitive Answer

Customer Question:
I'm using an Epson ET-4850 printer and would like to know which waste ink kit is compatible with this model.

Answer:

Waste Ink Kit Compatibility for Epson ET-4850

Your Epson ET-4850 printer features an output waste ink tube with a diameter of 2.5 mm. That’s the key measurement to consider when selecting a compatible waste ink kit. While our product SKU may reference a "25 mm" label due to system limitations, rest assured that it correctly refers to 2.5 mm, not 25 mm.

We currently offer two connector kit options:

• 2.5 mm Waste Ink Kit [https://bchtechnologies.com/2-5mm]

• 4.0 mm Waste Ink Kit [https://bchtechnologies.com/4-0mm]

The dual connector system included in both kits is flexible. One end fits your 2.5 mm tubing, and the other end can connect to either 2.5 mm or 4.0 mm tubes, depending on your setup and waste container tubing size.

Waste Ink Counter Reset – Not Just the Tank!

Please note that the waste ink tank is just a physical container. It does not have electronic components that automatically reset the printer's waste ink counter.

To reset the waste ink counter, you’ll need to use a software tool. We highly recommend:

• Inkchip reset utility [https://inkchip.net/wic]

• Or WICReset (available via several third-party vendors)

We typically suggest Inkchip because it's user-friendly and affordable for most home and small business users.

However, if your printer’s waste tank includes an embedded chip (some models do), software resets will not work. In such cases, you’ll need to:

1. Identify your waste tank model number.

2. Find a physical resetter specifically built for that tank model.

Addressing printer issues can be a complicated affair due to the hands-on nature of the problems. So, we're not able to provide remote troubleshooting, suggestions, or support for printer repairs. We offer an in-person evaluation and repair service via our local diagnostic facility [https://bchtechnologies.com/printer-repair-service]. Given the high demand, we operate on a first-come, first-served basis. So, it might take a few weeks before we can get your printer to drop it off. Our services are structured to repair either a whole printer or specific parts, with clear instructions on how to proceed. However, we acknowledge that our rates aren't the most economical. Thus, we highly recommend that you resort to self-help via online research. You can start by checking out YouTube or visiting our YouTube channel homepage [https://youtube.com/@bchtechnologies]. Look for specific videos using the search icon next to "About" on the right-hand side of the menu bar. I receive dozens of queries every day asking about videos for specific topics. Having created videos over the past nine years, it's challenging to remember every single one. Therefore, using YouTube's search function would be most efficient. Plus, YouTube might suggest relevant videos from other channels that could assist you.
