  • Brother printer reset ink / out of ink hack
    Do you have a Brother printer that saying it's out of ink when it really has quite a bit of ink left? Check out this video for a quick and easy hack on how to trick it. This is specifically for a MFC-J870DW. If it works for your printer please comment below and also please subscribe.
    Also don't bother with the Sharpie marker way of doing it. It only works about 50% of the time. Just get some electrical tape and get the job done.
    For the MFC-J870DW printer, here's the ink I use:

    Hi This just saved my life. My Brother MFCJ4625W erroneously reported ink run out on a new yellow cartridge. I then stupidly removed the magenta cartridge and when I put it back it said that was empty too. Tried to get help from Brother via chat and it was pathetic. I'm never going to buy another Brother printer again, I only have this one so I can print on card. However this fix has got it working again....Many thanks.

    So it is possible to make a video actually explaining what the title suggest, in a clear and simple way.

    thank you, I already had to throw a dozen full cartridges.
    thanks to you I will not throw any more.
    I'm watching you from Belgium
    many thanks.

    Great. Thank you. In 12 years of using my Brother MFC-465CN I probably replaced the cartridges twice. I always thought it was possible to bypass it but I never tried it. After seeing your video; I think I will. Great hack. Thanks, Rob.

    Thank you. I used vinyl red tape since I couldn't find the electrical. It worked beautifully. I purchased a set of color just two weeks ago and never used it. The error message popped up. The sharpie didn't work but I found ur hack and I'm printing, thanks again.

    it worked for me. I have a J43OW
    I took a piece of paper and colored it black, and cut the strip and put scotch tape on it and put is between the little bar that is in front of the ink window. I Inserted it so that no light could get in.. and it worked. I didn't have any black electrical tape. I just need to block the sensor in the machine. Sweet.. wish I knew this trick sooner. But happy to know it now~!!!!! This will save us money... :)
