Re: Where did the ink go?

2011-03-18 by ben

I have had many problems with refillable cartridges.  It is one reason I have gone back to using only Epson Cartridges.  I have learned to refile Epson cartridges, but in your case in using B&W UT-14 only inks, I don't think you would be able to do it.

Most of the refillable cartridges I have used leak, or do not allow ink to flow properly.  They are JUNQUE.

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.
