I had conversed with Grandad a few months ago to digest his observations about flushing carts. I've been getting quite a few newbies to refilling because many of them cannot digest the cost of OEM carts anymore. Many however don't appreciate that flushing is sometimes necessary.
As a result of my discussion with Grandad and also based on what I experienced, I started to piece the puzzle together. I experimented with some cartridges and can positively easily demonstrate what probably causes the most flow problems when refilling.
Grandad calls this the "ink link" and he attributed his thoughts about this to something I demonstrated at some previous time. Well I was not aware of what I had mentioned but by some stroke of luck, it seeded his thinking and his thoughts seeded my thinking about it. So I credit Grandad for his thinking.
The reason also makes sense for many people who have found that the lower profile carts like the 521/526/221/226 need more flushing than normal.
I will find the time to make this video because I think it is seminal.
In the meantime, observe what the printer does more often as soon as the optical sensor is triggered by the reservoir being out of ink.
