Re: Rotate BO ink through all the carts in a 1400?

2009-08-31 by pr_roark

Or just use the slot until it's not working well, then change to the next one.  You could also just change the position of the black cart occassionally, interchanging the chips.  I would probably not put black ink in all the slots.  The cleaning fluid in most probably helps keep the pad, pump and lines clean.
