Don't know why though. We have a large format inkjet at work. The waste ink container holds 500ml. And we print at least 10m a day on it. plod (107)

My Epson most certainly does not,m cartridges run out as used, not all at once.

As with my Canons. They'll run until they go dry (empty) and keep going, but of course that is not good for the print head, so don't do it!

There was a way with mine to reset the counter. The other way was to use more than three cartridges and the forth would automatically do a reset.

It recently went from being happy with the state of all tanks to reporting the yellow as getting low, without me having printed any colour... so I assume the difference is in the ink it trashed itself.

The entire floor of the printer is a big plastic waste tank filled with an absorbent pad to prevent spills if tipping the printer. THere's quite a significant amount of resources gone into containing all this waste (or concealing all the waste).
