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.

Thank you for your help. I scanned the photo and the nozzel check. The nozzel check didn't come out so I photographed it. When I get home from work I will photo the photo with my camera and not my phone and upload it.

Help! What have I done wrong? Have I filled the ink into the wrong cartridge? I am using octoinks. The faces are far too red. This happens when I use Photoshop, or I just print off the Canon software. It is a Pro10s. The above is from the monitor and the below is the print.

It will be dependent on the printer. You need to do some research on this. Some you replace the chip, some a machine resets the chip and others you can code them. As I wrote previously, you need to carefully consider how difficult and expensive refilling will be, before you buy the printer

If there is a bit of air in the cartridge it shouldn't make any difference as it will rise to the top when the cartridge is installed. Jose explaines that in one of the videos.
