Reset Epson M105 Waste Ink Counter
Fix your Epson M105 'ink pad end of service life' error. Reset the waste ink counter in minutes with PrintFix. Free diagnostic included.
Your printer is showing:
"A printer's ink pad is at the end of its service life. Please contact Epson Support."
Your Epson M105 from the EcoTank is displaying the waste ink pad error. This means the printer’s internal software counter — which estimates how much ink has been absorbed by the maintenance pads during cleaning cycles — has reached its programmed limit. The M105 is not broken; this is a software lock that Epson builds into every inkjet printer.
PrintFix connects to your M105 over WiFi or USB and resets the waste ink counter back to 0%. The process is entirely software-based — no disassembly, no technician visit, no sending your printer away for service. Start with the free diagnostic to see your current waste ink level, then apply the reset with a one-time key.
Under the EU Right to Repair Directive (2024/1799), you have the legal right to reset this software counter. The diagnostic is always free, and you only pay if you choose to proceed with the reset.
