    Pro 10s Not recognising ink cartridge

    Hi I got the new black in the post today and it worked great. I will try the alcohol on the old one when I have to reload them next time. Whatever happened, even the CO started to work as well. Thanks for all your help!

    Pro 10s Not recognising ink cartridge

    Hi Hat Sorry, I should have written, I had already tried that. I will see what happens when the new cartridge comes. Fingers crossed On the plus side I can get A2 prints done for £5 in work, but they use roll photo paper. I can't even supply sheets for it W

    Pro 10s Not recognising ink cartridge

    I know I sholudn't have done this. When I was reloading the ink cartridges with ink I unplugged the printer to stop it moving the tray back in. When I had completed the refill and reset cartridges the printer flashed the orange light despite all the cartridges being solid red. The trouble...

    Any thoughts on these?

    I wondered if anyone has tried these? What do you think. I just bought a new set of Octoink, but I might give these a try next time...

    Idiot mistake

    I did a test today and some of the CO has started to return. Once again, my thanks.

    Idiot mistake

    Yes, I am talking about nozzle checks. So it is just a waiting game.

    Idiot mistake

    Thank you Hat. So should I just keep doing test prints each week and it will eventually push the ink through?

    Idiot mistake

    I wasn't using the printer much except to do tests once a week to keep the heads clean. I got that bit right. Unfortunately I let the CO on my Pro10s run out and suck air in. Can it be salvaged, or am I stuffed? Thanks for any help.

    I have seriously screwed something up

    As I was doing those two carts, I thought I might as well do the lot of them. I got to the end and thought... Have I made another mistake? Why was the photo cyan still in the box. Had I used it twice???!!! When I checked the laptop software it was showing half full. Had I forgotten to reset it...

    I have seriously screwed something up

    Thank you ALL very much. I am not 100% sure what the problem was. I dumped and flushed both Magenta and Photo Magenta and it solved the problem. I think the magenta was ok, but I strongly suspect I put red in the photo magenta. I am a complete muppet.

    I have seriously screwed something up

    This is the feedback from Octoink: Hi William, Bit difficult to tell from those images but at a guess it looks like it might be the Magenta and Light Magenta's switched around. If you've topped up the cartridges rather than refilling from empty that might be a factor as it does look a bit...

    I have seriously screwed something up

    Thanks for that I will try it tonight when I get home and let you know how it goes.

    I have seriously screwed something up

    Thanks for that. How do I empty it? Do I just put it on some tissue and let capillary action take effect or is there an easier/quicker way to flush it?
