if you look at the cartridge you will see a split line where the grey plastic can separate, with some muscle (difficult for you I know) these two sections will come apart. This will now give you access to the white ink egress hole, the tall white plastic nozzle will come off via a 90 degree turn, be careful not to lose the spring inside. Refill, replace white nozzle and the plate, filled.
Hello Jeff, are You challenging me ? 😊 Give me some time - by the end of 2020 I will have built up sufficient strength for going Your described way ...
I am with You about separating the cartridge´s housing plus the white part and it´s inner parts from the cartridge. But we have to find a balance for our users. Taking apart the ink egress bears to much potential risk of losing parts (as You mentioned) and inflicting damage to the cartridge.
Have you run many tests on inks filled this way and were the results promising? Did you use pigment or dye ink?
We have developed our refill inks according to the original Brother® ink setup - all colors for LC3219 LC3217 are pigmented refill inks.
LC3211 LC3213 is a different story - with these cartridges only the black is pigmented and cyan magenta plus yellow are dye based inks.
@@octopusoffice Well, not a challenge so much as an easier method that overcomes the problem of the air in the bag being presurised. Your rubbertip and syringe is still good for a seal. Jeff, Australia.
Hello Jeff, we actually did not hit the problem of the air being pressurized while filling in new ink using the refill tool tip and filling it in using the ink port.
In the older Brother cartridge models (in Europe for example LC227 LC225 LC223 and so on) there was a one way valve built in. There we had have that problem too and we used the refill tool BroLuer that filled these cartridges using their air port.
With our LC3217 LC3217 the air inside the cartridge is pushed out by the new ink through the air port in the cartridge´s upper front part - no pressure builts up at all.
Does this system support, or can you supply, a chip resetter for a Australia / New Zealand LC-3317 / LC-3319 / LC-3319XL cartridges?
Hello Rod, thanks for the question. Yes, our resetters also work for the Australia / New Zealand regions versions LC3317 / LC3319.
Hi Guys, so i ordered your refill kit from your site (with your pigment inks and your filling tips).
I must be doing something wrong because I am having the same result every time. When i inject the ink, it goes into a different area of the cartridge completely. Instead of filling the chamber like if does in the video, it seems to go into the air ducts in the bag and immediately the bag becomes pressurized. I've tried it now on several LC3217s and getting the exact same result each time. Any idea where I'm going wrong? Thanks, John
Hello John, thanks for Your order and trust in our process. To be honest we have no clue what happens on Your side. Let´s see that You can achieve a different result with the new material.
@@octopusoffice This is happening to me when I use your material . Maybe I will make a video and email to you..
Does the chip resetter work for LC3219XL cartridges?? thanks!
Hello Adrian, thanks for your question. As long as the LC3219XL is an original Brother cartridge - YES.
Thank you for sharing this. With the Chipresetter does the problem of the unidentified ink cartridge (question mark) disappear? I already had this problem with question mark appeared after replaced all the ink cartridges with compatible ones it gave a problem and stopped printing, and I need to contact Brother support. Do you guarantee that this chipset solves the ink cartridge problem? Thank you.
Hello Alina, thanks for describing Your situation. Please check our stand alone video tutorial for the chip resetter. There You are going to see that also the set back original cartridge is shown with the question mark and full ink level on the printer´s display. This display does not mean unidentified, it says that the material is non original Brother material anymore. Showing the cartridges this way is necessary due to legal requirments.
From the distance it is hard for us to evaluate where the problem on Your side has it´s origin from. Using alternative cartridges suitable for Your printer should not cause problem that the printer does not work anymore.
@@octopusoffice Thank you for your answer. Maybe because they were not original Brother cartridges? Why does the question mark appear in the color ink cartridges and not at the black ink cartridge? I just ordered the chipsetter and the cartridges refill to try. Thank you
I didn't need a chip resetter even though my brother printer is brand new.the ink cartridges lc3217 etc all I did was drill little hole in the ink window at the top fill up and printer recognised them all as full
This Process Works on the LC 3029 cartridge of the J6935 - BROTHER printer
?
Hello Antonio, thanks for contacting us. Yes, the method also works for the LC3029 and the chip resetter also works on the chips on original LC3029 cartridges.
Hi
There is a video for brother peinter mfc 491? Ink LC3211 LC3213.
Can you plz send here a link for what should I buy for the printer?
I saw too that you used sometimes wjth the original cartidge and I have only the small cartidge that came with the orinter should I buy for your packege a biger originale cartidge?
And for last how much print I can make with your packge vs with the originale cartidge
Thanks!
Thanks for asking: We recommend the following set of inks www.octopus-office.de/shop/en/printer-ink/printer-ink-brother/brother-lc-3211-lc-3213/5811/refill-ink-set-for-brother-lc-3211-lc-3213-cartridges-cmyk?number=BL3211S0
and the resetter:

The resetter works for 120 original Brother cartridges - so invest in the bigger original cartridges as You get a better price per reset for the bigger amount of inks being stored in them.
Your question about the ratio our set vs the orignal cartridges - we see it this way - the price of 120 original cartridges compared against the price for one resetter and the amount of ink for filling up 120 cartridges - the savings by filling up are attractive - of course You have to do some work.
@@octopusoffice Thanks!
I have few more questions.
I have 3211 cartridges, I understand that its can contain less ink than 3213, so should I buy before starting use your equipment 3213 original cartridges or I can fill the 3211 with same quantity of ink like the 3213 have?
Another thing cant I just fill the cartridges before its empty and without reset the chip?
And last thing, I dont know how much ml should I fill the 3211 or 3213.
Thanks
hello, is there not a chip reset tool for LC406 , is it even possible to reset that chip without a deticated tool for certain models?
Hello Lawrence, thanks for Your question about LC406 - You need to have a chip reset device dedicated to the cartridge model LC406 - status today March 13th 2023 is that such a resetter is not available yet - without setting back the ink chip on the original cartridge it makes no sense to refill the original LC406 cartridge with printer ink as the printer is not going to accept this cartridge with its "empty "chip for further printing... we are on that topic...
Hi Guys, I am attempting your technique but having some difficulty.
Using an LC-3217 Magenta. Followed your steps but begin to encounter pressure/resitance from the syringe after about 4-5ml. When I remove the casing, I can see a lot of air bubbles, and the bag is swollen and tight, (like a blown-up baloon). Have I made a mistake in the refill process? Is there a way to ensure the cartridge just takes in ink and not loads of air?
Hello, thanks for contacting us. Do You apply the refill on an original Brother cartridge or on an inkjet made by an alternative supplier?
Using OEM Original LC3217 starter cartridge.
@@octopusoffice Hi there, i used an original Brother LC3217 magenta. I also did a black, cyan and yellow. Some filled easily according to your method, and with some i encountered a resistance after only half the ink had been inserted. I tested all cartridges in my MFC-J6530DW and did not have good results. Admittedly I was using ink intended for the LC-221 series but i don't think that was the cause. I think the air bubbles in the cartridges are the big problem. Interested to know your thoughts.
if you look at the cartridge you will see a split line where the grey plastic can separate, with some muscle (difficult for you I know) these two sections will come apart. This will now give you access to the white ink egress hole, the tall white plastic nozzle will come off via a 90 degree turn, be careful not to lose the spring inside. Refill, replace white nozzle and the plate, filled.
hi, does this method work for LC3717/LC3719XL cartridges ?? thanks in advance.
Thanks for contacting us. Yes, the method demonstrated in our tutorial can also be applied on LC3717 and LC3719 original Brother cartridges. Our resetter is also capable to set back the chips on these cartridge models.
I have just filled my new cartridges up as they were running low all I did was use a thin drill bit drilled a hole through the clear plastic window that shows the ink and put straight back in thr printer reg straight away as full
Hello Martin, thanks for Your description. From our experience we knoe that Your way will extend the time that the cartridge works in Your printer. But unfortunately the chip is counting down the cartridge´s page yield independent from the physical amount of ink inside the cartridge. So there will be a point that the printer is going to start further print jobs without setting back the chip on the original cartridge.
@@octopusoffice I have an old brother printer prints A3/A4 about 7 yrs old still with original cartridges still in working order I fill the cartridges up since new never needed to buy replacements used a resetter
Hello Martin, thanks for the explanation. So Your cartridges are not LC3219 or LC3217? Yours do not have chips? - these were the old happy days 🙂 in that case You are doing everything right - find a spot on the cartridge´s frame to make a fill port for the printer ink and use the right kind of ink. There You go!
@@octopusoffice I actually have s new brother printer with fax lc3217 cartridges etc that I am using at the moment filled all cartridges up yesterday by drilling a little hole in the ink window and the printer accepted the cartridges without a resetter
Hello Martin - so please do not harm the messenger 😉: For these cartridges sooner or later the printer will refuse to accept them for further print jobs. Have You received any warning messages about the ink level status of these cartridges yet?
Does your system also work on LC 3617 Cartridges ?
Hello Bob, thanks for contacting us. Yes, the chip resetter, demonstrated in our tutorial, als works on chips on original Brother cartridges LC3617 and LC3619. Filling in new ink goes also the same way.
Does your system works on LC 421 Cartridges?
Thank you
Hello Fernando, thank You very much for Your question. The LC421 also requires to have a dedicated chip resetter for setting back the chip on these original cartridges. With status today (Feb 23rd 2022) such a resetter is not available yet - due to that we have not developed an ink yet. So we have LC421 on our watch list and will do a refill instruction as soon as all the necessary material is ready.
My printer mfc-j6530w , the original ink is LC3317 type LC3317 , ...CAN I USE LC3219 or Lc3217? THANKS
Hello, thanks for Your question. LC3219 or LC3217 cartridges will not work in Your printer when it is made to print with LC3317 or LC3319 cartridges. The ink in both cartridges is the same but the chips are programmed differently.
for original cartriges lc3617 we must use pigment or dye ink ?
Hello Cristian, thanks for contacting us about refilling LC3617. The original inks in there are pigmented in all colors. SO we have developed our refill inks to be pigmented for black cyan magenta and yellow too. When You use a different refill ink solution pay attention to that the inks are said to be compatible especially for LC3617 cartridges and no universal refill inks. A refill ink solution compatible to Your cartridges can also be non-pigmented ink - but is needs to be developed and tested for this cartridge model.
@@octopusoffice I can buy from you ? what would be the price for a BK C M Y ink refill set, with delivery in Romania?
Hello Cristian, of course You can purchase from us :) Thanks for asking.
Please note that You also need to have the suitable chipresetter available to refill original LC3617: www.octopus-office.de/shop/de/refillzubehoer/refillzubehoer-tinte/chips-chipresetter-brother/brother-lc-3211-lc-3213/5790/chipresetter-fuer-brother-lc-3211-lc-3213-lc-3217-lc-3219-druckerpatronen-fuer-120-resets
The resetter is good for 120 resets - Your cartridge version LC3617 is a regional variation of the LC3217 - so the resetter can set back the chips on Your LC3617 too.
The inks You can purchase as a kit:www.octopus-office.de/shop/en/printer-ink/printer-ink-brother/refill-ink-for-brother-lc-3217-lc-3219-cartridges/5912/refill-ink-set-for-brother-lc-3217-lc-3219-cartridges-cmyk-pigmented
Here applies the same as with the resetter - the inks are made to especially for LC3217, LC3219 cartridges - so they also fit into Your LC3617.
it was showing not brother ink .. will it work even after showing that notification ? will it work if we print even after showing not brother ink.... ? i tried yours ways and it shows same notification as urs ..
The "no brother ink" message showed up after You have set back Your original Brother cartridge, right? That´s fine as the printer considers the refilled original cartridge as non original material. Printing works fine with such a cartridge too.
Does this work with the latest firmware on the printers? (e.g. brother j6530dw)?
Thanks for Your question - as long as You work with original Brother cartridges the reset of the ink chips on LC3219 and LC3217 also works with the current firmware versions.
@@octopusoffice Ok. Thanks.
Hi, where can I buy these syringes with that tips?
In Ebay I not find......
Hello Paulo, thanks for Your question - You can purchase these syringes + tips from our shop - if You like: www.octopus-office.de/shop/en/refill-supplies/ink-refill-supplies/tools-equipment/1934/eco-fill-set-of-syringes-with-filling-tips
They sell these in eBay but no resetting device. Do I have to reset the chips??? What happenes if I didn't reset??
Hello Mike, thanks for Your question. From our tests we have learned that You can refill ink into the cartridge, that has the empty ink status, BUT after placing that cartridge back into the printer - the printer does not accept that cartridge again for printing, it keeps on asking for changing that cartridge. To get that original cartridge back to work You have to set back the ink chip. We have found no other solution or work around.
@@octopusoffice what is the point to refill if no solution to reset chips? Only if you got that device.
Hello Mike, by refilling You have the opportunity to control which quality of alternative ink You are using in Your printer. A good quality keeps You away from running into trouble using for example ready made alternative cartridges that may come with a not suitable ink. Such an ink can cause print head problems. Beside that refilling the original cartridges makes sense to us in the meaning of reducing the amount of waste created by printing. We see the resetter as a part of the refilling solution. Even with the pricing of the resetter You can achieve attractive savings compared to buying new orignal cartridges each time such cartridges run out of ink. Our way of thinking.
can the chip be reset several times?
Thanks for the question. Yes, the original Brother chip on the orignal Brother cartridge can be reset as often as You want as long it stays intact - please pay attention to that the resetter is limited to a certain amount of resets - when these are used up You need to get a new one.
Does this method work for LC404 cartridges for Brother MFC-J1205?
Hello Athena, thanks for contacting us about our turorial - for LC404 cartridges have a different ink port. Therefore You need a diffent refill tool. Please check the following refill tutorial - the cartridges in there have the same ink port:
ruclips.net/video/ZpT6dMG2t8A/видео.html
Beside the refill tool You also need to have a resetter to set back the chips on the original cartridges - the suitable resetter is not available yet (status March 22nd 2022)
@@octopusoffice Thank you! I'll watch right now.
@@octopusoffice Sorry. I have another question. Do you know when the resetter will be available for the LC404 cartridges? My ink level has a warning sign on the yellow. And may I add that in no way did the ink last a year. I bought the machine in September 2021.
I may switch to all black printing and invest in a black cartridge until the resetter is available.
I did check the ink port and I see what you mean about the tool. Thanks!
Hello Athena, thanks for looking into our suggestion. As we do not make the resetter we also rely on suppliers - for some cartridge models we ask them regularely when certain products will be ready :) - the resetter for LC404 is such a product - unfortunately they have not told as an estimated date for the resetter appearing on the market yet. Sorry, that we cannot be more specific.
@@octopusoffice Thank you! I really appreciate your communication.
I would have replied sooner but forgot I was using a different browser and for some reason messages were not popping up.
Why do we have to reset chip? Can it work without reset chip
Hello Adnan, thanks for Your question. To reset the chip is necessary technically - without the reset a refilled cartridge LC3217 or LC3219 will not start to print again. The printer refuses to accept an "empty" chip to start a new print job.
can u fix this problem on j3540dw??
Hello, thanks for Your question! Which problem are You refering to especially?
Will Brother know if I reset the cartridge chips? I'm afraid I'll lose my guarantee because of this.
Hello Yunus, thanks for Your question. You need to distinguish between the guarantee that is binding for Brother by law and the guarantee that Brother provides for Your printer voluntarely. The guarantee by law cannot be denied as long as the reset cartridges are not responsible for the damage for which You might make use of the guarantee covered by law. The guarantee offered by Brother voluntarely is a different story - there Brother has the choice to deny it and saying You have nor used our new OEM cartridges in Your machine.
@@octopusoffice Thanks for the reply. From your question I can conclude that Brother does know that the cartridge has been re-used?
Hello Yunus, thanks for Your reply. Usually the printers read the set back cartridges as non OEM cartridges (but not all models). The printer than saves the fact that non OEM material has been used in it. This can be read out during a service.
@@octopusoffice Thanks for the reply again. I'm thinking of buying a MFC-J5330DW. Would this printer read the reset cartridge as non-OEM?
If you have the time for it, I would also like your opinion about choosing a printer considering your knowledge. Either way you have an extra customer from now on :)
I'm stuck between an officejet 7740/7720 or an officejet 9015 or MFC-J5330DW. They are all sufficient for my needs, and I wont need A3 function. Considering the cost effictivity, reliability and durability, which printer would you buy for your home/home-office?
Hello Yunus, thanks for aksing about our opinion about these printers. The HP printers are great and their cartridges are similar to each other. Refilling them is a bit tricky to be honest - for both cartridge versions no resetter is available. So for them You need to have 4 sets of OEM cartridges that You use in rotation inside Your printer. HP is working with thermal print head technology - in general such heads are more sensitive compared to piezo element print heads.
For the Brother machine we have the resetter solution and high quality refill inks ready. You should have two sets of OEM cartridges, this is sufficient to keep on working with this printer continiously. Brother used the above-mentioned piezo print heads - such a print is more sturdy. From the refill perspective the Brother machine is covered by the more complete products solution - with our inks You can control all the time which alternative ink quality is fed into Your printer. There are also alternative cartridges on the market - but they can be some surprise because You never can be sure what ink is used in there even when buying from the same seller twice.
We hope that assists You to make Your decision 🙂

how to reset for brother mfc j3540dw LC462
Thanks for contacting us about our tutorial. Status per January 16th 2023 is that the LC462 suitbale chip resetter is not available yet. Without that resetter refilling these oroginal cartridges with new printer ink makes no sense as the printer does not accept a filled up cartridge without reset of the chip.
I can't found lc401 chip resetter
Hello, thanks for contacting us about a resetter solution for Brother LC401 cartridges - status today (Nov 15th 2022) is that the suitable resetter is not available yet. We communicate with the manufacturer of our resetter solutions regularly - as soon as such a resetter is ready for sale we will take it online in our web shop.
@@octopusoffice thanks for replying 🙏
You are welcome - thanks for Your nice response! 👍🏻
Why is the chip resetter limited to a certain amount of resets? Seems inefficient and pointless... Couldn't the program be ran an infinite amount of times?
Hello, thanks for the question. Actually we are on Your side with this. There are multiple reasons why the manufacturer has decided to go this limited approach with this product - You basically pay per reset. The manufacturer needs to find a balance between selling a certain amount of products for getting their investment on engineering back and still beeing able to make a reasonable offer to the customers. The number of resets of this resetter is still sufficient high enough to last for a printer´s life span using these cartridges. The limitation also has warranty reasons - beside the programming the resetters also has parts that wear off during the use of the resetter - it cannot be guanteed that the parts of the resetter last forever. A resetter product built to last for decades would not sell to private customers.
We offer the resetter as the calculation costs per reset plus our high quality refill inks still end with an attractive saving compared to the original cartridges.
We hope that answers Your question 🙂
I have an old brother chip resetter had it about 7yrs now cost me £14 I think and it still resets cartridges
