Ripped Off?!! XP-510 to XP-540 owners get half a waste pad, half a printer life! But you can fix it

The Epson XP-510, XP-520, XP-530 and XP-540 Expression "Premium" printers were designed with half the waste pad capacity of their cousins (like the XP-600) despite their being zero reason for such a limitation to exist.
We're highlighting this "feature" as owners of these printers will undoubtedly be hitting the waste ink pad error much earlier than other printer models and in many cases will be advised to dispose of their printer or pay for a potentially expensive service centre repair, particularly if the printer is out of warranty.
Instead of accepting this ridiculous limitation we wanted to raise awareness of the problem and let owners of these printers know that a DIY solution is readily available in the form of our XP2 Printer Pad (and reset key) bundle using the instruction videos below:

You can also find our other videos on resetting the waste ink counter and for solving the same problem on other printers too.

We positively hate planned obsolescence like this and were stunned at the blatant way Epson embraced this strategy with these printers. So, please share this video to and help us to reduce the unnecessary electronic waste this sort of approach creates.

Silly question "What is a waste pad on my XP-540", I have had it for quite a few years and things are starting to go wrong. Paper Jams and a small white piece if plastic has come off the printer at the back just above the paper tray. No idea where it is meant to go either?

There’s another video on this channel, around the same release date, that shows you where the pads holder is. In terms of other issues, we might be able to help but details and pictures help. So please send to [e-mail] and we’ll see what we can do.
