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.

Best thing ever!! i used to put cleaning solution in the capping station with a syringe/hose then had to suck out f the wast line with a syringe.... over and over until the capping station was clean. maybe up to 10 times. now i just use maybe 1 or 2 - 30ml syringes full of water and the pump cleans it out so good.... then I put capping solution, place printhead over capping station and turn on the back of the machine. thats it. when i print again, usually next day, I pull from waste tank a few times until I get ink, then i run 1 head cleaning , print a test strip and usually good to go. I sometimes print a 2nd test strip. SO MUCH easier to use this little pump. so glad I bought it.

This is a must have modification to save time troubleshooting. You will need to download Kevin's capping station video to disassemble the capping station. A definite must. You will also need a few other connections to hook this up. All parts are linked in his videos. Pro tip. Have patience and go slow. This modification will save you from a lot of headaches . I did this mod on Procolored L1800 about a year old . Thanks Kevin.
