How to workaround the new Epson firmware update so 3rd party ink cartridge will work.

Basically, look for a small silver strip on the corner or edge of the chip. Just a little silver/grey rectangle. It's not always in the same place. The brand I use has it in the top right corner. Make sure to scrape it away thoroughly in the middle or it won't work (the first time I tried I didn't scrape away enough and it failed, then I scratched more off and that did the trick.)

Here is a link that explains how to do this workaround better than I did (if you scroll down on the page, you will find it under the heading called 'alternative method'):
