Huge money and time saver!! I've been refilling my cartridges for a long time, but with my daughter becoming a teacher, printing has grown exponentially. After lots of research and pondering options, I decided to go with the Spongeless kit. I watched the YouTube videos several times before doing the conversion. It's not an easy process and requires patience, but it was the best decision ever! After the conversion, we were able to print about 300 pages without any issues, and the refilling process was super easy. Highly recommended if you have the patience and skills.

I'm such a happy customer thank you! Finally!! Beautiful prints from ink I installed on my own! As someone who recently ditched HP after years of paying for a subscription I had enough of over charging and the control of the company over a printer I bought! So I bought a Canon just to have issues with ink suppliers. And then i.found Kevin's YouTube and my confidence grew that i.could buy this kit and refill my own ink! It came so nicely packaged yesterday and within 40 min, I reviewed the video 🤪, I was printing! Now I want to go sponge less! You can't lose by buying this kit, and Kevin is a phenomenal teacher! Thank you so much it only took til 46 yrs old to learn!

Found this item on a Reddit post somewhere and their YouTube video on how to replace this module. My Epson ET-3850’s WiFi has been inconsistent the past 6 months or so and then finally clonked out, giving a WiFi error message on the screen. Without the WiFi working I wasn’t able to print anything via AirPrint, only hardwired via USB. For $25 this was worth a shot to bring it back to life. The disassembly and swapping out the module was relatively easy, just follow their video tutorial. It was a simple plug and play. My printer’s WiFi is stable now for over a month! No resets, reboots or reconnections needed! Thanks for this, highly recommended!
