Re: Letting carts run dry, a problem?

2007-03-05 by Steven Karafyllakis

Hi Gordon;


You will get varying opinions on this, my feeling is you're better off 
avoiding it. I had an R200 a while back that printed perfectly until I 
let a cart run dry-it was never the same afterwards. Since you already 
have re-fillable MIS carts, and you'd be buying is the chip resetter, 
with inks and a syringe you can not only avoid the problem, you will 
save money.
