Definitely sounds like a printer spooling issue (software problem), though I can't say what the cause might be. How big are these images you're trying to print? Are you printing ones that have printed correctly before, or new images? If the latter, would these new images happen to be larger than...

>>365, 367 Correct me if I'm wrong, but it sounds like the problem you encountered was the plug sticking to the frame of the printer (instead of the cartridge) when you pulled the cartridge out to refill it. This would imply that the (compression) forces holding the plug in the cartridge were...

>>357, 358 Experimenting is exactly what I'm trying to do in this case. I'm not questioning the validity of any of the methods here, I'm merely trying different things with them in an effort to find improvements and alternatives (I refuse to belive that any if these methods, my own included, are...

>>355 I'm fully aware, that's exactly what I'm trying to figure out right now. Does it matter? Once the chip is reset it won't know the difference, it always shows the same full amount regardless of how full or empty it was before, right? If this is the case, why did my printer/chip continue...

>>345 Filling procedure is by no means the only reason printing problems may occur, which is precisely why I'm trying to eliminate possibilities. Concluding that my procedure is to blame solely because I have printing problems seems like putting the cart before the horse to me. In addition, if...

>>342 Square peg? Round hole? Please elaborate. My refill method is almost identical to the one in the first post, the only differences being the location of my hole (halfway up the cartridge in order to prevent sponge displacement, and yes, I can get my needle into the reservoir from that...

My thoughts on long term storage (I'm making this up as I go, so take with a grain of salt), I assume this is for the head that won't stay in the printer: You will need: -A printer (temporarily) -A full set (5 thin and 1 fat or however many is appropriate for your printer) of extra empty...

Gah, banding still there... I scanned an image of the minor banding I see (sanity check, please tell me I'm not seeing things), but it's a bit big so I'll post it as a link instead of in the board directly: img818.imageshack.us/img818/6456/blacktestbw.png (Argh new member restriction on images...

>>337 Sensor? What sensor? I looked in my printer (with a little mirror and a flashlight because of the angle) and I saw no sensor where the prism goes... My impression was that the cartridges are entirely chip-timed, meaning that the 'estimate' you mentioned would start counting down as soon as...

I'll try weighing my cartridges, but I only have one of those ancient hand-held balances so I don't know how accurate it'll be. I know I can't do top-fill because it requires an air-tight seal that I can't produce (my German hole is all jagged from my attempts to cut off all the little plastic...

Wheeee signing up for another forum.... Anyways, I wanted to ask a question about refilling cartriges with the German method, specifically the CLI-X21/PGI-X20 cartridges (I have an MX860). I'm using a somewhat modified version of the method in the first post (maybe more on that later), but I...
