I've been using this printer for almost 2 years. I have used 2 different refillable cartridge manufacturers. Both worked well - until the waste ink needed reset.
I learned the printer must initially be set up using OEM Epson cartridges. After a successful setup the 1430 used both sets of non-OEM refillable carts.
Also. if the printer is working OK on either OEM or non-OEM carts DO NOT (REPEAT) DO NOT UPGRADE THE FIRMWARE. My research has informed me that printer manufacturers sometimes make changes in their firmware that disables the use on non-OEM carts.,
