Re: Where did the ink go?

2011-03-19 by dlruckus

If your cap station fits properly and you overfill the carts or fill them in place and flood the capstation (ie:flood it like you would deliberately do while puddle cleaning) you can inadvertently set up a siphon and empty the carts into the sump.
Assuming that your carts are ok that would be my guess as to what happened.

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.
