Where did the ink go?

2011-03-17 by Scott Hendershot

I have a 1400 and use it with UT14 inks in refillable cartridges. Two weeks ago I refilled all the carts and then let the printer sit. Tonight I turned the printer on and did a nozzle check. Two channels were blank so I ran a few cleaning cycles with no improvement. I pulled the two carts out and they are empty! It looks like the ink ran out of the carts while it sat idle for two weeks.

Has anyone else experienced this and is there anything specific I can look at to remedy this and be sure it does not happen again?

Thanks.

Scott
