Bad Empty Cartridges From MIS For the 1280

2003-12-20 by Tom Husband

I received empty cartridges for refilling with UT ink.  They were 
different than the ones I received before (each time I get some 
they're from a different manufacture) and, boy, are these bad.  The 
chip had fallen off one of them (no big deal as I can glue it on).  
There was no tape on the top of any of them (OK I guess).  Then I 
tried filling with 18cc's of ink but it would not inject.  I finally 
had to pull the syringe half way out and really force the ink in.  
When I had 4-5 cc's left in the syringe it came out the top.  The 
chambers were not the full size.  I struggled through the cyan 
position and gave up on the light cayan.  Then I couldn't suck the 
ink out.  I finally taped it up and will call MIS on Monday to 
return.  Boy is it frustrating.  I can't print and I'm out 18cc's of 
cayan UT ink.  Good thing I have to wait till Monday to call cause I 
ain't a very satisfied customer today.

Anybody else have a problem with their empty carts?

Thanks for letting me vent.

Tom
