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

Thanks I will try that. The seal around the spike is on the cartridge I assume? So it should not be a printer problem but a cartridge problem. Am i correct?Sincerely,Pierre

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-
