Interesting!  I had the same "problem" with the SK168 on 2200 
cartridges.  Not having alternative cartridges available (I'm using 
MIS refillables), I simply held the SK168 in place for 30 - 40 
seconds after solid red appeared.  The 2200 accepted those cartridges 
without complaint.

The SK168 had changed state in some fashion in the transition from 
blinking to solid red and, without alternatives, it did not cost much 
to hold the SK168 and cartridge together for an extended period.  I 
have no idea why it worked; difference in Earth's magnetic field 
between your place and mine?
