    MB2700 Ink levels for color carts incorrect

    I do not know guys, but when the carts give you a warning message that they are empty, they weigh exactly 28 gr. I filled in and reached 40 gr. with the Magenta. At that point, I got the B504. The C and Y, had not given any message yet, but they were low, so I removed them, both 28 gr., and I...

    MB2700 Ink levels for color carts incorrect

    Hi folks, This my third refill with the color carts, so far I did not encounter any issues. Today, my Magenta came up with the refill message, so I removed the cart and refilled as usual. I use the genuine carts and this method to refill them. I put the Magenta cart on the scale, it was 28 gr...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Perfect, so it is just a question to wait for the printer to report the out of ink, and then, once ARC and ink are leveled, they should be in sync. Now, I want to see how the printer behaves when printing after one or two days, hopefully the problem has been resolved. The nozzle check is...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Look, the carts I removed were 3/4 full, I could not certainly wait to finish the ink with those carts, they were a disaster. So what you are saying is that at a certain point, the printer will tell me that I am out of ink, but in reality that won't be the case. I assume, at that point, all I...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    I just finished to refill the PGI-1200 BK OEM with 35ml, put it back in the printer. The color tanks are still the aftermarket ones (for the moment). The print nozzle is perfect, but the ARC does not seem to trigger the right level. This is probably because the ARC thinks the cart is the...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Hi, @The Hat : There is no need to apologise man, it happens with kitchen scales, they have multiple units of measure, you press the button more than once, and you get the wrong unit. The important is that we got the numbers corrected, for those who will read our posts in the future, they will...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    PeterBJ, We are far away from any tolerance, there must be another reason. Actually, it looks like I get 2/3 of what @The Hat specified, this cannot be by coincidence, we are missing something. Taken by curiosity, I weighted the coins and the scale is correct, it rounds up to the next gram...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Very good point,so... the question is whether the chips I currently have on my aftermarket tanks are good to be used or not. When refilled the precisioncolors aftermarket carts, I was able to put in 55ml (BL) and 25ml (Colors), so really, this is a lot comparing to what an XL can take. What do...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Palombian, By chance, do you know the weight of a new PGI-1200XL (Black) as well as the weight of the colour ones? I am aware of the difference in ink density, but it is just for me to have an idea. BTW, I give for granted that the tank that comes with a new Maxify printer can be refilled to...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    If that is the case, I should suck out ink from the aftermarket carts to accelerate the triggering of the 'red cross' so that I can then insert the OEMs ASAP. I can probably re-use the ink I suck out from the aftermarket tanks to refill the OEMs. In a nutshell, it is necessary that the tanks...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Thank you for the tip Palombian. I am waiting for the syringes and tapered tip to arrive so that I can refill the OEM Carts. I have printed more than 150 pages with the aftermarket carts, a total disaster, unless you run a cleaning cycle, every time before printing, which is clearly not what...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Thank you all. I use precisioncolors inks, I am sure Mike has the answer regarding his inks' density, let's see if he reacts. Do you think if I add the ink to the OEM color tanks, (which they still have some of the genuine ink in them), it creates a problem mixing them? If that is the case...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Stratman, Thank you for the links. So to summarize: I need to remove the 'one time reset' chip from the OEM carts (any best practice to snap them out?) and replace them, with the ARC ones. This means I could use the ARC that are on the refillable carts I purchased from preciouscolors, I...

    MB2720 - First refill with problems

    Anybody? Sorry guys I am stuck with this and both my printers do not currently work with colors. I really appreciate your help, and yes, I read a lot but I could not find the answer to my questions above. That does not mean it is not in the forum, but I simply could not find it... perhaps just...
