Getting Fingers Dirty
Just purchased 30 virgin OEM carts from Ebay and they seem to be in very usable condition with the ball still in tact.
I've flushed and wick dried 12 of them with 18 to go.
After reading some posts on a dried sponge possibly starving the printhead of needed ink moisture and the problems that can cause, I'm wondering about how to revive the sponge.
Pharmacist has a sponge revival recipe and if I understand his recipe correctly; after using the solution, even if the sponge becomes dry again, the glycerin in the recipe will keep the sponge in a ready condition to better accept ink moisture again. Am I understanding this correctly? I would love to know your method of refilling a flushed/dried cart and what was your experience of getting the sponge to fully accept the ink?
Thanks for your help.
