Getting Fingers Dirty
So I refilled my first cart today on my pro9000, photomajenta.
Everything seemed fine, reset chip (was using an OEM cart), printed test- looked perfect.
A few hours later, decided to replace the old non-oem carts than were running low (C & PC).
refilled, reinserted, run nozzle check and PC and PM come out nearly blank!
Also- got a warning it didn't recognize the PC cart (its an oem cart I bought empty from hobbicolors).
If i push it down a few times- it lights up and the error goes away.... but I'm now afraid to run the nozzle check again if its starving the nozzles...
:-(
Help. I hope I didnt blow up the printer!
Not sure what to check/troubleshoot on the carts.... one thing I noticed, the sponge is definitively NOT saturated all the way to the top.... but I thought that was a good thing. I can blot the bottom of the port with a papertowel and get it to spot the color....
I covered the vent ports with a piece of tape during refill- but I removed it afterwards.... not sure what else i could have done wrong? ARG.
