Digital BW, The Print

You beat my post, Paul. I'll do as you suggest and give it a rest overnight.

Thanks for your help,
Sarah

To do this you remove the plug over the reservoir, put the easier to remove plug back in the air inlet, and pull a little ink out the outlet with a syringe and modified bottom fill adapter. After that put the tabbed plug in the reservoir fill hole, leaving the air intake open, and put the cart back in the printer.  Probably allowing it to sit for a while is not a bad idea.  You may still need a cleaning or two.  But don't do too many of those at once.  Much of the problem with these inks is foam.  It just needs to settle down for a while.
