You could look for the Web and try to find a "reseter" specific for your Printer, so you can reset the ink pads counter, of course you must change the pad When they be really full of ink. You coulf find some similar material to the ink pad onto fabric places /stores. About buy an Epson o HP printer in my experience is much, much better a HP printer, they do not bother you with plugged cartridges or injectors as well you could use very heavie paper or wrinkle paper and HP just work. If you may look for "Eco tanks" or similar It is tanks of ink outside the printer (60 ml of ink -average)and you could refill them http://www8.hp.com/co/es/deskjet-gt/overview.html)
