Alright folks, I just picked up a set of empty OEM carts on fleabay and im starting to prep them for their first fill with the octoink kit i purchased a few weeks back. Couple of noob style questions...
The CLI-8Y cart that came with the kit...i assume i still need to flush it...do i need to use windex type liquid or just distilled water like the other carts?
Also, do i remove the chip from the OEM cart and put it on the CLI-8Y one yeah? If so, why not just use the OEM yellow?
I managed to remove all the balls using the awl without a visit to A&E lol, as per Octos YouTube video...is it good practice to use the supplied silver tape over the plugs after filling with ink to increase the seal, dont get me wrong the plugs appear tight, im just concerned as they are tapered.
Finally, are there any UK off the shelf (Tesco/Asda etc) alternatives to Windex...i recall reading on here about W5 stuff...i think thats Lidl?
Cheers
