    CLI-526 TopFill

    i don't see clogging as an issue when over filling, the problem that i had on over fills was cross contamination, which then lrequires flushing any cartridges that have been contaminated, hmmm but i quess you could run into the black pigment crossing over into the other cartridges

    rather than downloading a file and printing as a standard, i will get a photo from a color lab and adjust the monitor and prints off of that, that should limit the variables of monitor scanner etc
