Re: [Digital BW] A single cartridge not printing with refilled 2100/2200 cartridges

2004-01-28 by dave_in_gva2001

Hi Daniel, thanks for coming in on this.

Both cartridges create a good vacuum and a full 10-12 cc of ink gets 
sucked in on refilling. The rubber seal looks to be seated in place 
just as well as any of my other cartridges.........maybe it's just a 
strange coincidence because I can't think of a reason for this either.

The only thing that does seem to be the case is that I do have the 
impression an air pocket is forming somewhere. 

Prints (when contributed to by all 7 cartridges) are coming out very 
nicely indeed - thanks for the curves Daniel!

Dave
