[QUOTE="FreddieP, post: 217842, member: 15850"] If you put fresh ink into an existing cartridge, it's possible that you have congealed, really gooey old ink in there and even particles that are blocking the new ink as it tries to get through the printhead. I have found pigment ink the most likely to do this. If you use the printer very rarely the problem is almost guaranteed to happen. The gunk needs to be persuaded to come out of the cartridge. Warm, not hot, water, preferably filtered or ionised, is best. Cartridges differ but the principle is the same. You need to flush the cartridge out completely and to blow the old crud right out as you dilute it until the sponge is back to white. There are lots of videos on Youtube for this, but you may have to get very dirty before you see results. Don't worry. It is claimed (!) that printer ink is non toxic. Once I'd thoroughly unclogged the offending cartridge, the printed image was just about perfectly aligned too, so the muck must have been diverting the ink jet way off target. [/QUOTE]
