If this is accurate, then this should prove to be really good information. I have only been able to find out that this will not work on Brother Ink Cartridges. They do not have a memory strip. You might consider looking at your printer cartridge, see if it has a reset button and then checking again for the status of the ink level. According to this video, what first appeared to be empty moved to 1/2 after the cartridge was reset. If this does proof to be true, then we all will save some cash... In these tight budget times, any cost savings we can provide for our families and departments is always appreciated.

Here's the video transcript:
Does it seem like you always running out of printer ink?
Don’t you hate it when you see that low ink symbol?
It means you have to go out and buy another expensive ink cartridge.
But wait, before you throw that ink cartridge away here’s a big secret that I guarantee the ink companies don’t want you to know.
Most ink cartridges have a circuit board built in that circuit board has a small amount of memory that keeps track of the level of ink within the cartridege, in the most often than not, the cartridge but is not accurate so let’s reset the memory.
On most cartridges, look just above the circuit board and you will see a small hole.
Press the button in that hole, using paper clip, this will reset the memory on the cartridge which should now give us a more accurate reading.
Let’s refresh and see what happens
Look there’s almost one-half cartridge left.
So the next time your printer says you are out of ink, remember, forget it and reset it.
