    “Purge sheets”

    How much is too much? After spending a couple days, many cartridge swaps between refillable and OEM, many printer purge cycles, ..., I’ve moved to manually (at this point) printing a “purge sheet” every other day.

    C, M, Y, and sometimes K, and others

    In https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/always-this-messy.11901/ there were a series of comments that play along with my belief that printers may be more about the base CMY colors than all the other colors they are marketed for having. Am I personally misguided?

    Missing segments in nozzle check

    Besides "none," how many segments can be missing in a nozzle check? My WF-3620 has one segment missing on the black channel. This is after switching to PC inks & cartridges and several nozzle checks and 4 or 5 head cleanings over a few hours. Thanks
