This is really counter intuitive. It seems the most neutral one is R10. Does this mean I add 10 on the red? Will that not increase the warmth?

This could take forever with the trial and error. I know it is too warm, but how will I have any idea of how much to push and which sliders to push? It is going to be random guess work. With most photos I am not that fussy, but one in particular is really winding me up. I will give it a go.

Thank you for that. I see what you mean by somewhat. It isn't exactly scientifically based, more bodged. As I adjust the colours nothing shows me the effect this is likely to have on the output. Can someone plese post a link to show me how to calibrate the printer they proper way, in a simple...

I used a SpyderX Pro to calibrate the monitor on my Dell laptop and I am very happy with the colour renditation on the monitor. However, when I compare the test print to this: https://www.redcliffeprint.co.uk/news/calibration-print.html the test print is far too warm. I don't have a Monkey so...

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!

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

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...

Thank you both for the advice.

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...

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

Thank you for all your help.

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

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

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.

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...

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.

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...

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

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?

Thank you so much. I will buy a new photo magenta cartridge. Do I need a new photo cyan also? Once installed I will need to flush the lines. Do I do a nozzel clean or just run off a print. Thank you, thank you.
