If you've switched your printer to a DTF or external waste ink system, this Maintenance Chip Holder is the perfect solution. Once you start using an external tank to collect waste ink, the original Epson maintenance box becomes unnecessary - its only remaining function is to hold the chip. Over time, repeatedly removing and resetting the maintenance box wears out its internal alignment, often causing detection failures or "Maintenance Box Not Recognized" errors.
The BCH Maintenance Chip Holder eliminates that problem entirely. It allows you to remove the bulky maintenance box and mount your Permanent Auto-Reset Maintenance Chip (ARC) directly into this secure holder. The holder keeps the chip perfectly aligned and firmly connected, ensuring the printer always recognizes it without interruptions.
Features & Benefits
✔ Essential for DTF Users: Perfect for printers using external waste ink tanks where the maintenance box is no longer needed.
✔ Prevents Detection Errors: Holds the chip securely, preventing contact wear and "not detected" issues caused by loose OEM boxes.
✔ Simple Setup: Installs easily inside your printer - no cutting, soldering, or special tools required.
✔ Long-Term Reliability: Built from durable materials to withstand repeated chip use and printer maintenance cycles.
✔ Compact & Professional: Keeps your printer interior clean and organized while eliminating unnecessary parts.

Epson ET-8550, ET-8500, C-7000, ET-16000, L15158, L15168, L15150, L15160, L6558, L6578, and ST-C8000.

Why It's a Must-Have for DTF Conversions
For anyone using an external waste ink tank, the maintenance box serves no practical purpose except holding the chip - and repeated handling causes contact alignment wear. With this chip holder, you'll have a permanent, stable, and maintenance-free connection, keeping your printer happy and your workflow uninterrupted.

I have an old Epson ET-2750 eco tank printer, which I have used for years, and since it is uses refillable ink tanks, have used very little ink over the years. I love this printer because I can print lots and lots of pages, including double-sided at very low cost, and it is very reliable. I recently had a paper jam, which is very unusual. When I took off the back panel to clear the jam, I accidentally dropped it on the floor, and when I replaced the back panel, the printer jammed every time I tried to print double-sided. I found a small plastic piece on the floor that fit on one end of the roller, but didn't realize I was missing the other end. I eventually noticed that there was a gear on the back panel next to where the roller fits into the panel. I deduced that I must be missing a gear to pop into the end of the roller, to mesh with the gear on the panel. I couldn't find the missing gear anywhere, and figured my cats must have lost it or my wife might have swept it up when sweeping the floor, and discarded it. Through a Google search, I found BCH Technologies, ordered the part from them, it fit perfectly, and now I can print double-sided again on my faithful old Epson printer. I very much appreciated being able to get the missing part from them. I thought the price for the part and shipping was high for such a small part, but that was the only down side.
