...pads then there is a leak, break or disassembly of the tubing between the purge pads and the ink waste pads deep inside the printer. Ink starvation can be partial or complete depending on cause such as poor flow through the sponge in the cartridge or blockage of some nozzles in the print...

The delay in responding is from the lack of a email notification. Again/still ! If it was "starvation", they why would there be all that sludge on the ink pad? If anything it would/should be dry? The printing was streaked. I use aftermarket as I have for years and I do refill. The nozzle check...

...in the sponge an exposes the sponge to air. This exposure to air causes drying of ink in/on the sponge which will eventually cause ink starvation after several refill cycles. To avoid this issue, refill the cartridge at or before marked Low when the ink level in the sponge is still "full"...

Glad to hear you are printing again, but, how do you know it wasn't ink starvation from a poorly functioning cartridge? It might be that a new cartridge or flushing and refilling the old one corrects the issue. Then again, if the purge system was clogged then doing what you did did indeed fix...

Hi @Mario and welcome, from what I can see you’ve clearly got a case of ink starvation in one or more of your colours, but as to which colour is the big question, and manual cleaning of the print head on this model printer is out of the question, just let the printer do its own cleaning. It’s...

Based solely on what you have written is sounds like ink starvation. Have you tried a different new or known working cartridge to see if this resolves the problem? More information would be helpful. Please scan, crop and post a nozzle check. Do you use new OEM cartridges, aftermarket...

...experienced and reported. BTW, let's not forget that Mikling has said he tinkers with his inks. Maybe this has had an effect on potentiating ink starvation. Would be interesting to compare failure rates between his inks and webbie's for the same printer/color. :idunno If wishes were...

...of your refilling guideline. I recommend it to people on this forum. But you have not yet adequately explained jimbo123's lack of ink starvation refilling experience: Yes, me too. Please clearly explain why you introduced Brownian motion into the discussion and why your refilling...

...Jimbo did NOT refill when "Low", instead refilling after a cartridge was beyond "Low". He did not have to flush and refill due to ink starvation, the killer event we are warned about with cartridges designed after the CLI-8. So, why are jimbo123's CLI-8's, and mine, more resilient than...

Is this the one you mean… ? https://www.printerknowledge.com/attachments/cartridge-test-jpg.8943/

Please run one of Hats's cartridge starvation test images. Whenever you have printing problems....never use photos. Use artificially created simpler images. That will tell you what is really happening. What I am seeing is a phenomenon (look) where the first generation 6 tank printers had a...

When you print continuously the cartridges are stressed out and must perform perfectly in one go. Cartridges that are not in perfect condition can perform seemingly OK, as long as they are not asked to do so continuously. So bursts of printing followed by a period where the cartridge is allowed...

...and does happen to a print head. I have run 6 dye ink printers continually for years with more than 70 CLl-8 carts ready prepared for use and never lost a single head from ink starvation, dye ink printers need far more attention and should be monitored constantly, it’s the nature of the beast….

...issues with the the new, never refilled, OEM cartridge that came with the printer. I have also experienced a rare hair's breadth of ink starvation, etiology unknown and may not be related to ink flow at all but instead interplay of paper and transport mechanism. Other differences between...

I see faint horizontal banding in the Cyan. Maybe it is an artifact of scanning or image compression? Magnifying your original image file I see this transition issue as well. Maybe it is accentuated in your print, but it is present in your original image.

After printing the torture test with the result shown below at left (see the noticeable ink starvation on the black and none at all in CMY), I scanned part of the printed image at 1200 dpi. (pictures middle and right) It’s a weird pattern. Coarse black dots at the darkest left side becoming...

I think this might be a tolerance issue and slap of some type. What one notices is that these bent sheet metal carriage guide printers never for me at least don't seem to hold alignnment that well. I expected this. This happens even on the Epson with bent sheet metal guides. This could be a...

...colored swath found in the 2-3 dozen articles I've printed. My test using The Hat's image shows a defect in the brown and blacks only. There's a pattern. Seems good advice to prevent leakage. How would it help those with ink starvation on Standard Quality settings? Too much negative...

My aftermarket is nothing special. I described the workings of it previously. What I see on standard setting on gradient prints is that there are vertical bands due to either imprecise feeding of the paper or due to not perfect printhead alignment. ( Ised the automatic alignment) I did my quick...

...an OEM cartridge is possible. How do your Precision Colors aftermarket Maxify cartridges perform? Do your cartridges experience the ink starvation that both The Hat and others reported when using aftermarket cartridges while printing in Standard Quality? Have you tried printing multiple...
