Just did this process on my ten-year-old Epson XP-810 and it worked beautifully, printing even better than it was before. Thank you!!

Excellent video. I just replaced the ink pads on my XP-830 by watching it. I doubt seriously that I would have figured it out without your help.

This video just saved me the cost of a new printer. Worked perfectly for XP-760. Replacement ink pads and reset key obtained from Octoinkjet for £14.95. Thank you for the very clear instructions.

Spot On. For £13.50 I get a key and New Pads. My Epsom XP-605 up and running again. Thanks for the spending the time on the video. Very Good!

I rarely comment on KZread but this video has been absolutely brilliant. I successfully replaced the inkpads and reset the waste ink counter on my Epson XP750 with ease. Thank you Tristram O!!! 😊😊😊

Finally got my parts and did this with your guidance. I can't thank you enough. Epson emailed me saying it's time to buy another printer. I love the XP-810 and you can't get printers with these options anymore. Hopefully I'm good as new now.

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you! Your tutorial has made my 850 printer (which went into end-of-life mode) become like new again. So easy to follow and so effective. Thanks again.

I would really like to thank you for an extremely straightforward set-up/repair/OctoInkjet contact info which has saved me a couple of hundred pounds - MUCH APPRECIATED! Simple to do in 15-20 minutes after watching! Cheers bud!

Totally legit & so very helpful! Thank you!

Tristram O, Thank you for an excellent video about replacing the ink pads on an Epson XP 800 printer, once their full. You would not believe how much time I've spent searching for this exact information. I am so grateful for your concise, easy to understand explanation about this process. Many Thanks. Garry👍

Wonderfully clear - just cleaned my waste tank and reset the counter as you described. Much easier than I expected. Thanks for taking the time to document how to do this for the xp800

Thank you soooooo much. I had this same problem with my XP720 and couldn’t find any tutorials for that model but luckily enough is exactly the same as your so I was able to fix my printer. Appreciate you taking the time to record the video and sharing. Greetings from Spain :)

Thank you for the comment and so pleased you got it to work again.

Absolutely brilliant - so very helpful, well explained and filmed to illustrate. Thank you for uploading this to help us all. I've just successfully sorted my Epson XP 605 ... and even managed to wash out our ink pads to make it a cheaper resolve and was charged £6.50 ish for the key. I'm a happy printing lady again.

Very well done. Found WIC pads from China for like $6US. Took about 15 minutes to complete the entire process of disassembly, clean tank, replace pads and reassemble. I have been a lifetime user of epson products and it is totally disappointing to have them declare a product obsolete and make it non-functioning through software. Thank you for the video.

Hi, just to say 'Thankyou' without your video I would not have had the confidence to try this, followed your instructions to the letter and also purchased the pads and reset code from Octoink, no issues with either it was easy and I'm not really computer confident. (we still had pencil and paper when i was at school!) -thanks again.

Excellent and like other users really pleased that I could “recycle” my XP-620, rather than putting a perfectly usable printer into landfill. For my XP-620 the instructions are slightly different. At 06:14 it says there is no need to remove the front screw (part of 2) holding the tank in place, for the XP-620 you do need to remove this screen

I'd like to add my thanks and congratulations to the man who made this video - it's absolutely excellent! His calm, clear voice delivered such precise detail - I just felt a confidence doing the job with his video playing as a guide. Pure brilliant - thank you!

Thanks so much for this video. I have just finished replacing pads and resetting my printer, could not have done it without your step by step video. Working as new and saved me having to buy a new printer when this one is still working well.

Hugely grateful for your one-handed repair and filming, and the time you took to describe each stage of the procedure. Result: success on my Epson XP-800. (I wish the inkpad & keycode suppliers' website was as orderly as your film!) Thanks again.

DUUUUUDDDDEEE!!!! Thank You. That was absolutely awesome. Saved me from having to get a new printer. Instructions were clear and precise. Anyone can do this.

You're a true hero for uploading this video! It couldn't be more helpful than this. Very clear instructions. After replacing the pads, when I was about to reset the waste counter, I had a message saying my printer didn't require resetting the waste counter but I did it anyway.

Your video was a pleasure to use. I was able to follow the ink pad replacement with confidence that the needed steps were taken. Thanks again for a thorough presentation of the task.

Thank you so much. My trusty epson xp 610 is now up and running again. Octoinkjet were as good as you said and new printer pads and reset key arrived promptly. I did go against your advice and tried to wash out my old pads. What a waste of time. After numerous rinses I binned the soggy pads and spent quite some time clearing up the mess. Thank you again. 😊

Excellent video. Many thanks. Just sorted my Epson XP-800. I didn't find the paperwork from Printerpotty particularly clear, but your video helped to do it with confidence.

Agree with your assessment Ray. We're currently replacing the images in our printed instructions, with ones from one of the white coloured printers to make those easier to understand and follow.

With the guidance of your excellent video, I was able to remove the blackened waste ink pads (when I tried to wash them they dissolved!). I ordered new pads, easily installed them, watched your video step-by-step and successfully reassembled the printer (Epson XP-830). I ordered the code from OctoInkjet, received it immediately, watched their super video and viola!! I have a working printer again! Many, many thanks!

Brilliant easy to follow video on how to replace ink pads and reset the printer counter. Well done, you got my printer working again for minimal cost. Thank you.

Thank you, thank you. Extremely clear, extremely helpful, deeply appreciated. My XP-7100 has a new life.

Thank you so much for your easy to follow video, we got the ink pads with tray from Unicomp for old Epson model XP 530, for £2.45 plus postage £8.45. And we’ve managed to insert pad tray as you directed, put everything back together again. Also we were very surprised, but we didn’t need to reset, the printer reset itself, and is working. Big thanks

This is the best instructions, I have done it 3 times very successfully! I had to pause the video and start so I can follow as I go along, I highly tecommend this video, THANK YOU SO MUCH, it beats being a new printer!

Many thanks for your brilliantly clear and helpful instructions. I've gone through the whole process without any problems and the printer now appears to work perfectly. My printer is an XP-630 so not identical but it is nevertheless essentially the same machine. Interestingly, I did not even need a reset key at the end but simply switched on the machine and it worked straight away. I reused the old pads which I think will be just fine. One word of advice: put on gloves if you rinse and reuse the pads! I didn't and I will now have inky hands for the next few weeks... The printer has been a totally reliable workhorse for years so no complaints there but I am disappointed that Epson are making it so difficult to service and repair. Their online help pages are directly misleading and unhelpful.

Thank you kind sir, worked a treat. The XP-860 did start throwing up this error before we ordered the replacement + key, but it was intermittent. After the replacement arrived, the printer was still working, so we just waited about 10 days until it was permanently erroring - then replaced. I think if you fail to do that, the printer software more that likely will still see the ink waste pot as full - not sure, didn't want to risk it.

I've had this problem on my XP530 which is the same principle and this has given me the confidence to have a go at replacing the pads myself. I've ordered a complete pads/reset kit from Octoinkjet for £17

Just heard from Epson Service Centre. Their charge would be £48 + the hassle of returning it to them, with an estimated wait of 2-3 weeks.

Your very detailed instructions were extremely helpful for ink pad replacement and reset of my printer, an Epson XP-630. I followed your instructions step by step. With the soiled ink pad you have to be double careful and use plastic gloves and a plastic bag. In cleaning out the excess ink reservoir I also have a helpful suggestion. Spray Oxi Clean Laundry Stain Remover in the reservoir, swish it around and rinse with hot water. Even drying out the reservoir with a paper towel, the towel was completely clean. The messiest part of the procedure was the easiest. With your fantastic instructions, and my little helpful hint it makes a complicated procedure easier than I thought. Thanks again.

Brilliant! Saved me £100 on a new printer - thanks so much. Great step by step commentary as well as visual.

Thank you so much! Due to this excellent video, I was able to fix my XP-7100. The step by step instructions are brilliant.

Just a note to say thank you for the detailed explanation, like other folks I don't have the same printer as you but this is essentially the same process for the XP-520 which worked flawlessly.

Wonderful instructions. Worked perfectly on an XP-830 which I now expect is resurrected from the dead. Thank you so much. The detail was entirely necessary both in disassembly and assembly.

This is an excellent descriptive video..easy to follow too. My printer is an XP-820 so slightly different, however, because the video wwas so well put together it was very simple to change the Ink Pads and reset my machine. For just over £10.00 it saved the cost of a new printer. Well done.

Your instructions and detailed video are amazing and thank you doesn’t quite cover it, but THANK YOU! Also thank you for the info. on where to buy the replacement pads and rest code, you’ve made it so simple. I am so happy my Epson-605 printer is up and running again and you've given me so much confidence!

Thank you for the feedback. You have made my day as that is exactly what I was hoping for; fix and keep it going!

Great video. Gave me confidence to do this myself and save 70% repair cost offered by Epson - comparable to the cost of a new printer! The one screw that couldn't be positioned by hand to tighten was tricky, but I sellotaped the screwhead on to the screwdriver that gave enough hold to just position the screw upright in place and provide a slight turn that enabled the screw then to be tighten in place. Thank you.

Wow thank you so much! It was so easy to follow along exactly with the instructions in this video and my printer is up and running again!! I used another commenter's tip of using a piece of tape to help guide that one tricky screw in , which worked really smoothly.

I'm extremely grateful for this video! On your recommendation, I ended up purchasing the repair pack from Octoink as well and even though it came with instructions on how to take apart the printer, your video was far more helpful for actually walking through what I needed to do. Thank you!

Thank you so much for this video. I appreciated videotaping putting the printer back together or I would have had to do a lot of rewinding. I did this with the help of my 12 year old son. I normally would never attempt anything like this. We were able to replace the filters, follow the instructions for the key code (watched another video for that), and continue using our printer. Saved time and money. So happy!

Thank you very much for taking the time to go through the process, which has made it much easier for me to fix my father-in-law's printer.

So incredibly simple w/ your expert instructions! $35US and 20 minutes time, saved me from having to buy a replacement printer... Thanks so much!

Excellent tutorial. Thank you very much. I can also add that the steps, screws, colors, etc are all identical for the XP-830. The part number for the waste bin (w/pads) is Epson part # 612162.

Thank you for this excellent video. I have just purchased the kit and hopefully will be able to get a perfectly good machine back working again. I so hate having to throw kit away that, with a bit of effort, can be bought back to life.

All sorted. Though I seem to have a silver screw left over. Very easy, and straightforward You need to be comfortable with handling a screwdriver and not frightened to bend plastic. The rest is a doddle. The windows software is so easy to use. You do need a USB connection between PC and printer though. 48 hour delivery for the pads via royal mail so reasonably quick

@@richardauckland4191 That spare silver screw was probably the one that secures the front of the waste pad holder. Lots count of the times we forgot that step while we've done this process :) Luckily the lugs on the front of the pad holder will stop it from falling out so it's not needed.

Just followed all the steps for a XP-820, worked liked a charm!!! Thanks for your instructions!

Thanks! Mine is an XP-820 but your instructions were a great help!

Hi Tristram - thank you very much for taking the time to record and upload this extremely helpful video. I have just completed the process on my elderly XP-610 and everything went very smoothly. The only thing I would note is that my connection is wireless over my home office network rather than by ethernet or USB cable, and it worked just fine, no issues. I took the opportunity to update the firmware using the official EPSON utility, clean and realign the heads, and it is working very well indeed - good for another 8 years I reckon! I don't use this printer for photos - just normal office duties - and I've put all sorts of pattern cartridges through it with no issue at all - it's more sensitive to good quality paper for the kind of work it does. Once again - thanks for the video!

Thanks for this video! Just did it with the Epson XP-700 and had no issues so far. Used WiFi connection instead since I can't find the USB cable. Seriously, thank you!

Thank you. This detailed and thoughtful explanation saved me from having to replace my printer. I am very appreciative of your effort.

Thank you so much! Very empowering to be able to do this. Your video was perfect, with everything I needed to feel confident to take my printer apart and put it back together again.

Thank you SO SO MUCH!! By following your instructions i was able to get the potty out only 2 variation btw your & my printer.😮 New pads cost $7. Washing took too much time & distorted size of pads. Im 80 yrs old so if I can do it so can you.😅

Yes - agree with comments - very helpful video - thanks. (Procedure is same for XP-600).The error message took me by surprise! Have been using non-Epson inks and ran into trouble because cyan jet got blocked. Flushed OK but then printer refused to work with non-Epson cartridges! Then I I got the inkpad message. Washed the existing ones but messy! Haven't put them back yet as still wet but I assume they will be OK, at least for now. Will buy a replacement set just to be safe. Next I need to do reset. :-)

UPDATE: OK got a reset code and the reset utility program. Worked fine but a bit of an obscure process. I don't see why a user should pay for the privilege of resetting their printer when a normal part of the useage cycle shuts it down. Seems bizarre and somewhat exploitative. Epson should give a reset code free shouldn't it? And how do third party vendors (Tom, Dick and Harry) get the right to issue reset codes? Money for nothing it seems. An odd setup all round. Still, printer's working again thank goodness and couldn't have done it without this video. When I reassembled it I had a screw left over!! No problem just had to backtrack and found the empty screw hole ... Thanks again.

Just watched your video and replaced the waste pads and reset the printer. Thanks for a very useful video!

Very clear video. Replacement of pads and reset made very straight forward. Thank you.

great review i ordered the parts and code for the epson XP-610 from octoink and 4 days later i have a fully working printer thanks

Thank you so much! Everything worked out fine (Epson XP 820). Greetings from Germany ☺️

This was very useful to follow on my XP-900. Slightly different cover parts but essentially the same with similar screws. Thanks very much!

Excellent video, thank you. I had this problem, ordered from OctoInk yesterday. The kit arrived this morning, I followed your (and their) instructions, Job done. Printing again - perfectly. Much obliged to you, Tristram.

Thanks very much. Very accurate instructions. Cost only £15 to fix.

Thank you so much for your very clear instructions. The whole thing has worked like a dream. This has been a great printer, and now it lives on - at minimal cost!

Daaaaaamn. I got worried that when I turned the printer off & on again, that it'd still come back with the "ink pad has reached the end of its life" msg.

Thank you for such a clear descriptive video, made life a lot easier to replace ink pads and to reset.

Great video thanks. I have pads arriving in the mail tomorrow from Octoink for my XP 860 and your video will be very handy as a double check! However, I reset the counter the other day with Octoinks utility and a new code and as you found it was so easy and seamless. I actually did it on WiFi and it worked perfectly I have a strong stable connection from my laptop to printer and was pretty confident it wouldn't be a problem. Many thanks. As you say, the actual error is purely a page limit (20,000 or thereabouts I think) and not the condition of your Printer Pad as such. So if like me you reset the counter with an online download of code and utility from Octoinks it does resurrect the printer though I would recommend replacing the pads soon after. Many thanks.

This video was a game changer! Thank you for posting! I was able to fix my printer and I am back in business :)

Excellent, I will be replacing my pads as soon as they come in. Very clear walk through, thanks

When you ordered the new ink pads, how long did it take to get them? How did you clean the pads you already had/with what? I may have to do that, too-in a crunch and need my printer working. Seriously ticked that Epson has their printers like this, yet mentions NOTHING at all about what to do or what the message means, or that the pads can actually be replaced! Seems like they should have at least mentioned them and what to do about that message somewhere on their website or in the ptr. manual!

@@JaimeDornanLady We manufacture the pads here in the UK and have more than 1,500 sets in stock so they aren't running out. Shipping times depend largely on where you are in the world and what shipping service is chosen. Regrettably Brexit, Covid and world events do slow things down but it is possible to do a partial reset of the waste ink counter using the key "TRIAL" (all caps without quotes) to get the printer up and running again while you wait.
