WIC Reset Utility: A widely available utility that is free to download but requires a paid single-use key to perform the actual reset. Step-by-Step Reset Process (General)

Waste Ink Counter: Navigate to the Particular Adjustment Mode and select Waste ink pad counter.

Final Verdict: Is it worth it?

Full service utilities: More advanced tools can adjust parameters, run nozzle checks, initialize parts and perform deeper diagnostics.
Hardware solutions: In some cases technicians replace or modify the waste pad sensor circuits or bypass sensors physically; other times they replace the pads themselves and then use software to reset counters.
