Maxify PGI-1200 Refillable Cartridges - Leaky Blue?

[pharmacist]

What about the cyan (not blue, because blue is composed by mixing cyan + magenta) catridge is by accident just broken and is causing slight leaking ?

Yes I meant cyan. I'm using the terms blue and cyan interchangeably because I'm a noob. This printer only has 4 colors.

I ordered some replacement ink and we'll see what happens. Interesting theory that maybe the cartridge could have an air leak. But interestingly when I take out the print head assembly with the cartridges installed, the cyan literally drips out from the head with very little effort. Like I put a paper towel just touching the head...and the towel starts sucking up cyan. That's leading me to believe it's the ink. Which is strange because none of the other colors are doing this and this exact ink brand/combo is printing just fine in my Brother.

Do yourself a favour and get a set of empty OEM cartridges, a set of ARC chips from Aliexpress and refill the original cartridges. Far less trouble with leakage and other odd issues when you use the original carts. I spent sevral years with a Maxify and after messing around with the 3rd party refillable carts I went back to the original and life was a lot easier.

Having said that becasue I don't print regularlty now I replaced the Maxify with a Brother laser and am happy
