Re: Ink Order and Spongeless Carts

2005-09-12 by Johnny Eades

Hello Tom.

 I don't know the answer to that, but it would seem if everyone uses 
the same order; when a question concerning it came up it would be 
easier to pinpoint the problem. Holding the dart with the outlets 
that fit on the posts in the printhead facing you and on the bottom, 
the order is from the left beginning with Yellow,Light Magenta, 
Magenta, Light Cyan, Cyan (cyan is on the extreme right and Yellow 
is on the extreme left in this case). I think it is customary to 
fill with the lightest ink first (Yellow) and progress to the 
darkest ink (Cyan). I hope I've made it clear enough.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
