Hi there,
Okay, I tried the method suggested to me in the last thread, and it does seem to improve things.
However, there are two problems I'm running into. One is, I can't seem to prevent corruption of the yellow tank by the magenta, when I have the cartridge upside down and I'm forcing air into it to clear air from around the printhead. The second is, I don't know how to tell how much ink to put in each chamber, so I think maybe the first problem might be being caused by overfillinget rather than ink leaking over during the air-purge process.
The process suggested produces a good test page a few times, but eventually the colour corruption thing happens as described, or you start getting bands of much lighter color in the print test patterns (so like, 75% of the horizontal band for a given color is correct, and then 25% is noticeably lighter).
Any advice on how to judge ink amounts and stop further problems would be greatly appreciated!
Thanks again for all the help so far!
