Abstract: A printing consumable and an ink cartridge are provided in various embodiments of the present disclosure. The printing consumable includes an ink container, detachably installed on an ink cartridge main body; and further includes a first memory, disposed on the ink container, where the first memory is capable of being accessed by a printer and stores ink amount data related to an ink status in the ink container. The printer is configured to rewrite the ink amount data during an ink consumption process, where when ink is substantially used up, the printer is configured to rewrite a part of the ink amount data; and the rewritten part of the ink amount data is configured to be at a non-rewritable protected state.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a toner cartridge. The toner cartridge includes a toner hopper containing toner, a waste toner bin containing waste toner, and a developing part disposed in the toner hopper. The toner hopper and the waste toner bin are movably connected; and the toner hopper is capable of moving from a first position to a second position relative to the waste toner bin. When the toner hopper is at the first position, the developing part is electrically connected to a printer and capable of receiving a developing voltage signal sent by the printer; and when the toner hopper is at the second position, the developing unit is electrically disconnected from the printer and not capable of receiving the developing voltage signal sent by the printer or not capable of sending an electrical signal to the printer.

Abstract: A nozzle ink cartridge includes an ink cartridge main body and a first circuit substrate disposed at the ink cartridge main body. The first circuit substrate is configured with, a nozzle circuit and a first interface circuit. A second circuit substrate is disposed on the ink cartridge main body, and configured with a second interface circuit and a third interface circuit, which are electrically connected and disposed on a same side of the ink cartridge main body. A replaceable ink container is contained in an accommodation portion and configured with a first storage circuit and a fourth interface circuit electrically connected to the first storage circuit and the third interface circuit. The first storage circuit at least stores ink amount information of the ink container. The second circuit substrate is further configured with a switching circuit capable of processing signal transmission between the second and third interface circuits.

Abstract: A remanufactured ink cartridge and an electronic patch are provided in the present disclosure. A remanufactured ink cartridge includes an ink accommodation container; an original chip disposed at an outer side of the ink accommodation container, where the original chip includes a first memory; and an electronic patch disposed between the original chip and the ink accommodation container. The electronic patch includes a second memory and first programming terminals electronically connected to the second memory; the first programming terminals are configured to program data for repairing to the second memory; the data for repairing is configured to repair or replace at least a portion of data in the first memory; and at least one of the first programming terminals is exposed outside the original chip.

Abstract: A printing consumable, an ink cartridge, and an ink cartridge reforming method are provided in the present disclosure. A printing consumable includes a first nozzle circuit, configured to feed back a first signal in response to a detection signal transmitted by a printer; and includes a second nozzle circuit, configured to not respond to the detection signal transmitted by the printer or configured to feed back a second signal different from the first signal in response to the detection signal, where the first nozzle circuit includes a nozzle circuit that has not been reformed and the second nozzle circuit includes a nozzle circuit that has been reformed. The second nozzle circuit includes a first circuit and a second circuit which includes a first conversion circuit and/or a second conversion circuit.
