Digital BW, The Print

Hmmm

Very sorry it's still not working.

It looks like the cart is not the problem, maybe there's an issue with the contacts on the cartridge carrier?  Do they look okay, are any bent?  Maybe using a cotton swab with alcohol, in case a drop of ink is on them? Is there anything stopping the chip touching the contacts, e.g. something stopping the cart fulling clicking home?

As I said my carts seem okay, as the other poster said, there is V6.0 written on mine too.  They also have 1400 written on them.
