Re: [Digital BW] Re: Can a refillable cartridge leak?

Berel,
I'm not familiar with the 2200 but the paper towel thing might surprise you on a few printer ...those that are gravity fed.Once the paper towel gets wet a siphon action can happen.. So one might get a big surprise..

  Rarely, but yes it can - it usually means that the damper mechanism in the cart has failed - or that the seal around the "spike" has been damaged - you can check this by starting a nozzle check and pulling the plug on the printer when it starts - move the print head aside put a narrow strip of paper towel in the printing area - move the print head over the paper towel- and go do something else for a few hours - check for a leak by moving the print head off the paper towel-
