🖨️ MC-G02 Ink Maintenance Box for Canon G-Series Printers
I bought this MC-G02 ink absorber with chip and sponge for my Canon G3260 after seeing it listed among the top sellers. My Canon had started giving me the dreaded “ink absorber full” error, and official replacements were way overpriced or simply unavailable here in the US.
The delivery took 15 days—decent by AliExpress standards. It arrived well-padded in anti-static bags. The chip clipped into place without issue, and the sponge quality was surprisingly good—thick and absorbent.
Pros:
-
Chip recognized instantly by printer
-
Sponge is dense, not cheap foam
-
Saves $30+ compared to OEM parts in the US
Cons: – No printed instructions (but YouTube came to the rescue)
It cost me under $6, while similar kits on Amazon range from $25–$40. Yes, it absolutely exceeded my expectations and saved me from tossing a perfectly good printer.
US $1.19

🔁 T04D1 Maintenance Tank Chip Resetter for Epson Printers
I ordered this T04D1 resetter for my Epson XP-5100 after the maintenance box hit max capacity. I couldn’t believe Epson actually expects users to throw it away and buy another. Ridiculous.
This tiny tool reset the chip in seconds. I followed the included photo guide (no English text), pressed the reset pin, and boom—the printer accepted the tank as brand new.
Pros:
-
Super fast chip recognition
-
Works as advertised
-
Way cheaper than buying new maintenance tanks
Cons: – No instructions in English – Build quality feels light, but functional
Paid around $5—similar US products are $20–30 if you can even find them. It did exactly what I needed.
US $13.21

🎧 Walkie Talkie Earpiece for Baofeng Radios
I got this G-shape PTT headset for my Baofeng UV-5R after the stock one died. What sold me was the soft, flexible earhook and clear mic.

Pros:
-
Soft, comfortable ear hook
-
Inline PTT works flawlessly
-
Audio is clear for this price range
Cons: – Cord feels thin – Could be louder
It cost about $2.80 versus $10–12 for similar US options. For that price? I might grab a few more spares.
US $8.65

🧼 C13S210057 Waste Ink Box for Epson F-Series
I purchased the C13S210057 maintenance box for my Epson F570. Epson’s boxes in the US go for $30–40, so when I found this for around $9, I had to try.
Fit perfectly, chip was detected, and printer resumed immediately. The sponge inside is as dense as the OEM version.

-
OEM-level quality
-
Perfect compatibility
-
Arrived in 12 days
Cons: – No Epson branding (expected) – Very basic packaging
More than met expectations, especially at a fraction of US prices.

Final Verdict
I’m honestly impressed. Out of 12 products, every single one worked as expected or better—especially the chip resetters and maintenance tanks. The shipping took anywhere from 10 to 18 days, but nothing arrived damaged, and everything was packaged securely. I saved well over $200 compared to buying these parts or equivalents in the US.
Would I recommend these? Absolutely, especially for anyone dealing with Epson or Canon printer maintenance. I’ll definitely be ordering more—it’s kind of wild how much money you can save when you shop smart on AliExpress.
