Re: [Digital BW] Can I Top off Ink Cartridges

2013-02-24 by Paul Roark

I do top off 1400 (and 1100) auto-reset carts.  I mostly ignore the ink
monitor readings.  However, when one is very low that I know has not
recently been topped off, I take that as a time to check all.  The chips
and ink levels do get out of sync.  This is not an optimal solution, but
pulling the carts to check them when there is any suggestion that one is
low or I have a printing project I'm going to start seems to avoid running
out of ink at an inopportune moment.
