Re: Re-placement of ink cartridges

2003-01-09 by Steven Karafyllakis <stevek@evcom.net>

Yes, you can put them back in, but you need the bottom seal rivets 
to keep the ink from dribbling out. If you don't have them you'll be 
forced to stand the cart on end, which will produce massive air-
bubble problems, and cause you to lose most of the ink to cleaning 
cycles. As it stands, you'll lose a good bit of it anyway, by the 
time you get it going again. I haven't read previous feedback on 
your paper feeding problem by I for one have had serious trouble 
feeding anything over a 205 gsm paper through my 1280, and the few 
times I did I had to re-align my printer head.
