Printer Cartridge Ink Refills Problem..Help!?
607631
We have successfully been refilling ink cartridges for months. Sometimes it takes a little time for it to sink down and print correctly. Clean it a few times, and if it's still not working, leave it overnight. For some reason, it always works for me if I just give it time.\n\nAs far as which holes to fill, just follow the instructions with your refill kit.

The electronics on your cartridge are probably dirty or damages.   Remove the cartridge, look at the back.  Make sure that there is no tape or debris obstructing them.\n\nIf the contracts appear to be a dull brown color then they dirty/corroding.   Take a pink eraser and gently wipe in one direction.   \n\nIf all else fails it may be time to replace the cartridge, or even the printer.

Problem :\n\nThe printer is working, but the printed output shows smears or smudges of ink or the image itself is smeared.\n\n\nSolution :\n\nTry increasing the ink drying time or decreasing ink volume. \nOpen Director, then click Settings, Print Settings, then Printer Settings. \nThe printer Properties dialog box opens.\nClick the Basics tab, then the Advanced Features button. \nClick and drag the Dry Time slider toward More or the Ink Volume slider toward Light. \nTry decreasing print quality to Normal or Fast. \nOpen Director, then click Settings, Print Settings, then Printer Settings. \nThe printer Properties dialog box opens.\nClick the Paper/Quality tab and choose a lower print quality setting. \nTry a different paper. Heavier weight paper may not smear as easily as lighter weight paper. \n\nIf none of the steps above have solved the problem, print and evaluate a self-test report.

This must be problem with print head. Nothing wrong in the computer or printer driver. Clean the print head with distilled water and lint free clean cloth. Instead of water some solvent like Diluted Iso propile alcohol or Ammonia solution may work better. Try it. Hope your problem will resolve.\n\nBy the way "How frequently you use your printer?" The problem with all kind of inkjet printers are if not in regular use, the head gets dried up and all its nozzles are getting clogged up with dry ink.

This sounds like a corrupt printer driver you will have to disconnect your printer purge the driver from the system and reinstall your printer driver.

I think that is an ink jet, so it may just need new cartridges, or replacing the ink in the old ones. If the printer has been sitting a long time, you may be able to use the extreme clean section of the head cleaning program. Another possibility is that the FORM FEED button is being held down. Of course, it could need a new control board, which would have the same effect. If you have the original disk, there should be a diagnostic program on it, or you can download it from the HP website, and that may be able to help you resolve this issue.

This issue occurs due to the low ink cartridge , empty or corrupted printer driver software . Please Align or clean the cartridge contacts. If the issue persist, UnInstall and reinstall printer driver software .

Has it been awhile since you have used the printer?\n\nThe sad fact is that over time when a printer is not in use ink will dry in the print head.   When this happens the only remedy is repeated print head cleanings.  You should find instructions on how to do this in your manual.  If you find that  you have gone through about 20 cleanings with no improvements , then unfortunately it may be time to take the printer to be professionally serviced, or replace the print head.  \n\nAs a warning cleaning does suck up a lot of ink, but it is in the name of getting the printer going again.

Most likely the printers internal equipment is dirty, or clogged.\n\n1) Right-click on your Epson Stylus icon, and go to "Properties"\n\n2) Find the tab for the "Printing Defaults" link\n\n3) Click on the "Utility" tab\n\n4) Perform the following procedures:\n\n * Nozzle Check"\n * Head Cleaning\n * Print Head Alignment\n\n-----------------------------------------------------\n\nIf for some reason these steps do not work, it could be that the ink has dried out and the ink cartridge needs to be replaced.\n\nHope this helps.

Did you run out of ink???.... if so, you can buy a refill system, it is possible to fill it up again.

You don't.\n\nThe cartridge has a chip on it which tell the printer the cartridge is empty.  Unless that chip is reset there is no way a refilled cartridge will work in the printer.

Flip that bad boy over.   Print head facing up.\nYou see that little circle on the underside.   Well if you remove the circular tape it will reveal a small ball bearing.  \n\nBefore you complete the next step I strongly recommend that you have a kit designed for this cartridge.   Punch that little ball bearing inside the cartridge.  Voila a place to fill!\n\nThere is no sponge inside this cartridge rather air bags.  You are going to want to force a little air through this whole to separate the bags.  Inject 40 ml of ink. Seal up with new ball bearing (if you have the proper refill kit you will have them (standard B.B's sometimes work as well) \nthere should be no leakage around the sides of the ball bearing!  Finally cover the ball bearing hold with some electrical tape.\n\nIt's done.

your nozzle check is good.  Run a couple cleanings on it.  then check again.\n\nYou may have a priming issue with the bulk ink systems.  Epsons always need a little ink to remain inside the print head in order for them to print.   If the system is drawing back in after a print then you will have a void in the print head resulting in a lack of print.\n\nDo a few nozzle cleaning since those tend to use a little ink do your nozzle checks as well.  Trying printing immediately after wards.   Do a couple pages to see if there is improvement.  If that works then you have huge problem with the bulk ink system.  One that will eventually damage the print head beyond repair.

Clean the print heads as suggested above.\n(But if they're really clogged bad, you might have to do this up to 10 times in a row though?).

Some print cartridges have an embedded chip that communicates with the printer to advise ink levels. When you buy from aftermarket suppliers (especially refillers) they may not support these.

Your ink level is just a page counter.\n\nIf you have been printing things like photographs which use much more ink than the ink level is calibrated for, then you cartridge may be empty.\n\nIf you don't use your printer often, IE withing the last couple weeks, there is a good chance the print head on your cartridge has dried out. Run a couple print head cleanings (your manual will tell you how to do that).  If you see no improvement then it is unfortunately time to replace the cartridge.
