Well, the mystery continues...
In my post Feb 9 I wrote that the problem of the black ink "skipping" was fixed by switching to a "new" cart. (Reused cart filled with OCP ink.) Since then I've done a lot of printing with no problems until about 2 days ago, when I started having ink starvation symptoms again. (There was plenty of ink in the cart.) So I switched to a third cart and it seems to have fixed the problem again, so I have some questions:
1) Does ink go bad? I bought that ink in May 2012. For this last cart I switched to a new bottle of ink even though the old one isn't empty.
2) Do carts go bad? The first one lasted through over a year of refills but the second lasted only about 6 weeks. These are Canon carts that I bought full of ink.
Thanks for any ideas.
