This is a grey cart Epson, so it’s cartridge DRM rather then firmware DRM. These have a wetness sensor behind the visible chip, which does not like being removed or being reset once it’s low. If you removed the cartridges (even with plenty of leftover ink), that’s likely what killed it.

The only good option is to buy new carts once the chips go bad :-(. Epson is sue happy as well as anti 3rd party so GFL finding new chips.

This isn't going to do you much good now, but for future reference don’t buy another Epson printer if you know what's good for you. They’re more infamous then other manufacturers for such stunts to protect their ink sales. I rank HP to be the 2nd most agregous - but I've always spared them from the level Epson is at since they provide some give to earn it. Brother sort of cares but they don't go out of their way to be actively evil - just flag the clones as “non genuine” on the chip and they don't care.
With HP you have the “cartridge protection” scam which locks the initial inks to the printer but after that first set kill it and leave it off - but on lasers it isn't enabled unless you do so actively lol. The reason I like how Brother does it is they go off of the honor system and ask for a “non-genuine” flag so the consumer knows but legitimately does not care beyond that point. They make money off of other lines of business so chasing someone down isn't worth the headache.
Canon is awesome about it - go for it with this sanctioned bypass but you can't use Creative Park so if you do not care don't cry about your warranty or losing Creative Park.

Don’t buy another Epson printer again - they’re horrible compared to others like HP and Brother who pull similar crap, but nowhere near as persistent. Brother stops at displaying “non-genuine” and HP “locks” the first ink set under “Cartridge Protection” with the inkjets (not laser because erm… don’t want to !#^& them off) but lets you disable it. First set is dead, but the rest are immune once disabled. DO NOT leave it ticked on those HPs; protect 2nd+ ink sets.
