[QUOTE="websnail, post: 217996, member: 15726"] Aaaand I'd like to nominate myself for the #facePalm award as I now see that I skim read your reply and missed the rather pertinent information that I then repeated back at you regarding the refillable carts. [I]*ahem*[/I]... Apologies for that. Sooo... Starting over... A few things spring to mind. 1. Make sure you have removed the vent plug/tape from the cartridge so that the cartridge can breath as ink is used up. If you don't know which plug is which, check [URL='https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qfB4R_d7F1o&ab_channel=octoinkjet']this handy video[/URL] I did that tackles exactly this topic. 2. Check that the cartridge is primed properly... Hard to know which type you have specifically but as it's an old printer type I'd lay odds it's the really old type that needs to be vacuum filled or at least requires the feed chamber be partially primed so that there's ink ready to feed into the printer, not just air. Again there's a few videos that help with this here: [URL unfurl="true"]https://www.octoink.co.uk/kb/questions/167[/URL] [I]NB: You can use a standard luer slip syringe in place of any attachment but recommend you notch a V into the end of the syringe so that air/ink can be pushed/pulled out or the valve plate in the cartridge will block the end of the syringe. The V notch allows you to open the valve and still get air/ink in/out.[/I] 3. The ink itself can be a problem but as the type you've indicated is dye ink, that's pretty unlikely unless it's completely clogging up with algae growth or other foreign material style gloop. ... and finally... 4. The printhead could simply be clogged silly already and require a lot of attention with cleaning solutions so the big question is whether or not the printer was working prior to your most recent attempts? Hope that's a "bit" more useful. [/QUOTE]
