    Can revive a Brother MFC-J615W cartridge by simply filling it?

    I don't want to waste ink on if it will need chip resetting.

    revive old cartridges from inside out with solution?

    It just occurred to me, and this is probably either an old or dumb idea with my record, that you could use isopropyl alcohol, or better solution to run through your cartridges just to clean them out like one of those supplement/salt flushes, from inside out. Then just run a bunch of test pages...

    How to fix the black part of my Epson XP-340 printhead

    This usually works and has already for CM&Y but not K. I've run a couple ounces at least of isopropyl alcohol through to some paper towel underneath and it's still not printing but showing full ink on a new cartridge. Sounds like the printhead dead no? Or do I just need to keep running it...

    How to get printhead to move out into open MFC-240C

    I'm trying to get under it with paper towel to absorb cleaning solution I'll be pushing through the system. I found a suggestion for a similar model of holding the cancel button but that didnt work. Any ideas? I know printers move the printhead our of their seats but I don't know why and how to...

    Workforce printers showing new ink cartridges depleted after little use

    Why according to my printers do these aftermarket cartridges deplete their ink so rapidly when I haven't even used them other than for a few test prints? I've got a WF-2630 and a WF-2760. The ones from the pic would be my second set, the first did the same thing, now two of them are useless...

    Pushed alcohol through to old Epson WF-2630 printhead, then died

    It wasn't printing anything with new aftermarket cartridges so I pushed the alcohol through the top with a syringe and tube, took a day with rubber bands to hold pressure on the syringit was that clogged, installed cartridges, system went through "preparing the ink system" then screen went blank...

    Is there a way to print with an epson printer when it wants a new cartridge?

    I'm guessing this pretty common with them, at least the xp series I've got a couple in front of me. As soon as one needs replacing it ceases to work until it gets a working cartridge.

    Do you guys have a method for resealing non-printhead cartridges?

    Idk if they have a specific name, anyway, do you use a particular kind of tape? I'm imagining a good aluminum tape would work good for this purpose. How would you seal these if weren't planning on using them for a while?

    Canon MP470 with error: 5100 and good cartridges

    It's used. First time starting it. It shows everything is good, albeit low ink, sits for a bit then starts making some noise then produces this error and you can only turn it off. Without cartridges installed it just waits for you to put them in until it does anything else. What do you think...

    Initially ink comes out but then fades even though cartridge is full

    This is a HP 65 cartridge. Only the blue fades. I've soaked the bottom of the cartridge in alcohol and hit water. Is this a physical or electrical issue?

    HP Deskjet 2652 isn't dropping paper fully onto rollers

    I've ruled out the rubber rollers so it's gotta be some wear or defect with one of the parts in there. Just seeing if anyone might have a suggestion

    2 X Officejet 4500 reads "Print cartridge(s) missing or not detected : (tri-color, black)."

    These cartridges worked some months ago. Since then I've just kept them taped at the bottom with scotch tape. Both printers tested fine with these back then. What happened after all this time? Do they just die like that or could there be an issue with my printers? Is there any way to revive...

    How do you preserve your ink cartridges?

    I'm about to open a couple new ones but only to use for testing so I don't want them to dry up and die prematurely. Normally I just put scotch tape on the underside on I guess the "printhead" part. Should this method suffice or do you have a better suggestion?

    Refilled and cleaned and leak ink but don't discharge properly

    I can fill them to the top and soak the bottoms in hot water and alcohol til the cows come home but they'll still struggle to put out ink properly. Sometimes they'll start to properly then quickly fade and sometimes leave little puddles sporadically. Mind you I DO cover the holes I punctured...

    Refilled this cartridge and can't get ink to come out

    It's one of these guys. For an HP. Different than the more cube shaped ones. The bottom is an open circular opening with a sponge. I don't have an adapter to put a syringe on it to suck the ink through as you can do with the other cartridges but while refilling it the ink went through so it's...

    HP Deskjet 2600 rollers pulling paper to the right even after running roller maintenance a million times

    Anyone know how to fix this common issue? I also tried wetting some paper with some cleaner and holding it in the rollers while I ran the roller cleaning several times in the hope they needed to be cleaned but I'm wondering now if it it's something mechanical that affects the pressure of the...

    HP Laserjet CP1215 black cartridge fading on one side

    I recently refilled this cartridge so I know how to get in there but I don't know how it works and what I might need to clean or do whatever to get it working right again if it's possible. Any ideas? Thanks

    Just refilled the magenta in a 901 hp cartridge and suddenly lost the cyan and yellow!

    I just had yellow and cyan printing fine so then I refilled the magenta, ran a nozzle cleaning, and now cyan and yellow don't print and magenta is getting everywhere. Obviously I put too much magenta in there but how did it cause the cyan and yellow to stop printing?

    Canon mg5720 pgbk printing crooked pattern. Is it a printhead problem?

    I went through all the maintenance steps and refilled all cartridges and this pgbk isn't getting this pattern right. What's the usual culprit here?
