Problem began 1 mo. ago, after I began to refill my PG240 & Cl241 ink ctgs.using E-bay kit.Recommended fill volumes were low ( 7ml), but I followed directions. Did not clean nozzles, just fill & go. Black text page was light vs. vendor filled ctgs. Didn't improve with cleanings but nozzle test OK, Cleaned ink sponge, soaked & flushed ctg. w/Windex + 2-3 drops ammonia. Nozzle test worse. Color not bad but black pattern disappeared.Maybe poor quality ink. Got new ink: Pigment Black from Inkowl.com. Refilled a nearly pristine ctg w/ 15ml volume. Results attached.I can provide more detail, printer history, etc. if you feel it will help. I have not printed anything other than nozzle tests since all this began
Thanks for your help.
