So if I replace the cart before it is empty there's a chance it will not reprime, but if I wait until the cart is empty it will?ghwellsjr said:except that with my printers that use CLI-8 cartridges, they do not do any priming if the cartridge is low as opposed to empty and replaced with a full cartridge.
That's a good rule which I like to follow too, but haven't you observed that the printer doesn't automatically take the time to do a prime cycle? I always do a nozzle check after replacing a cartridge and it sometimes immediately starts printing.The Hat said:The rule of thumb I use is, replace the cartridge when showing (low ink).
That way the cartridge is far less lightly to have any problems when refilled (no time to dry out)..
The answer to that is simple NONE, Just reset the cartridge then top it up with ink and reuse.tony22 how much ink do I wind up throwing out?
