I believe you, I am just worried that my color cartridge are already destroy like my black one. Remember I purge it and it didn't do anything? I understand I put bad ink in there an that's another factor, but if purging will makes the cartridge like new, then putting low quality ink back in...

I am thinking about using the rest of bad ink on other color cartridge until they die or just get new cartridge for the new ink. Since purging the PGBK did not work, I am afraid purging the other color for the new ink will be a waste of new ink, what do you think?

put in the new OEM cartridge, prints fine on black now, semes like the bad ink destory the cartridge, but I use Atlantic ink before and the same thing happen before as I recall ?!

btw, I had similar problem using Atlantic ink before, but after I replace the cartridge, it worked fine, color came out the same on my old Canon ip5200. That's why I oder new OEM ink and giving it one last try since warm water+windex did not clean the nozzle means I am out of luck. I am not...

well, I been refilling for over a year now, as you may already know, MP990 purge a lot itself, so it does use a lot of ink and if one clogged up, the rest may be gone soon. Black was the obvious one, the others I can't even tell anymore. I tried all method of cleaning the printer head, and if...

thanks, but if you see my last reply, I did do a purge of the cartridge after the head cleaning method you told me, and still prints out light gray color from black cartridge. I will try to do another head clean with windex and do a nozzle check, but I doult that will do anything at this...

ok, I purge the PGB cartridge and refill it with ink, still comes out gray.

after about 6 deep clean and nozzle check, my black now looks lighter than yesterday...... this is after I put a few drops of windex in cartridge and nozzle

thanks for the tip on the right vender, I know the one I am using is bad, but when I bought my mp990 it was so new no one has gray ink except them. when I rinse my print head, I use air compressor to dry the whole thing before I put it back in. Didn't help a bit, and didn't make anything worst...

ok, will try the windex on the cartridge, ps: I already rince the nozzle with hot water until no ink and no good result, but will try windex this time. The brand of ink was an off-brand call "ultragamut" I remember I had an old canon ip5200 black cartridge also went gray and replacing with...

hi, thanks for the tip, but I am trying to avoid purging the cartridge if I can. I ordered a new OEM black cartidge and going to give that a shot, and see if that solve the problem. I need grey ink because my printer has a grey ink cartridge. My question is, does pruging cartridge=a new...

I uses OEM cartridge with refill inks inject form top of the resovior, I amn not sure about the ink quality since when I bought the printer there are not many vender sells gray ink, so far it has not clog the nozzle and working fine until yesterday the color becomes light. How do you clean out...

Hi all I have been using refill ink for my MP990 and it has been over 1 year without any problem. I discover my printer printing all colors lighter than usually, especially PGB, it looks like gray instead of black. I have follow the Windex instruction to check purge function and it checked...
