Re: LC in Y position

2005-02-08 by guy_staley

The ink slots on the chipped printers are color specific: therefore you must re-
chip the LC cartridge with a yellow chip. The chips can be purchased from 
MIS for a couple bucks. You could probably pull the chip from your existing Y 
cartridge as well. However, keep in mind that the ink usage is recorded on the 
chip as well, and unless your LC and Y cartidges are equally full, the printer 
will provide erroneous feedback on how much ink is in the cartridge.

Alternatively, you could buy an empty Y cartridge, and fill it with LC bulk ink. I 
am running LC in the Y position on my 2200, and the prints with no curves are 
quite neutral.
