Digital BW, The Print

Hi

I'm using exactly the same procedure; it's a bit confusing at first when you see a perfectly full cartridge channel flashing on the printer but just re-inserting them is clearing the flashing lights.

I don't know what would be an ideal situation, but it's pretty straightforward once you know that the printer is acting a bit weird with refillable cartridges.

I just run the printers until a cartridge really runs out, at which point the printer stops and patiently waits. I then fill up the offending cartridge and check the others at the same time. Then with a push of the "drop" button, the printer does a head cleaning and resumes the print - and flashes up the ink status screen again, usually showing me to be out of three or four inks when I know they are all full.

If I have some really critical printing to do, I'll just check the levels before I start. The extra head cleaning wastes a little ink but assures better prints anyway.
