Good evening all - sorry for the bother...especially if this question may have been answered.

I have a canon i960...been refilling from the top via a small drilled hole...I guess I must have added ink to quickly to one of the cartridges and it is not flowing to the sponge side of the cartridge...is their a solution other than replacing the cartridge? thanks very much

The best way to revive your cartridge is to purge it (Clean) of all ink, then dry the sponge and refill it carefully.

You can use the method like the one above posted by tubguy http://www.inkjetsaver.com/bci-3 fill adapter.html
or some of the ones described in this post http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=8228

You can also speed up the drying process in your cartridge with this method of ghwellsjr.
