    Hi, i've just bought an Epson SX100 and the rest of the money I have on 20 ink cartriges from eBay which says that it works on my printer. I install the ink and now its saying that the ink cannot be regognised. Is there some way to get around this!? I can't afford to buy the official Epson ink cartriges now. But they're still ink cartriges which fit my printer and produce ink.. there must be a way around this? or to hack into my printer or something?

    Please help.

    Thanks.

    Fixed it! Just needed to take out the ink, switch it off, wait a minute, switch it on, put the inks in and it worked!

    Lesson learned; Be cautious when buying cheaper no-name cartridges. Sometimes they can do more harm than good.
