Re: Bad Chip Resetter / Now Rotating Clogging Issue

2006-11-26 by Terry Ritz

I had to refill another cartridge so I've confirmed my chip resetter is
fine, as Paul suggests. I had two bad chips. Reinald, I tried your resetting
workaround but it did not work for me. I'll contact MIS tomorrow for
replacement chips.

However. . .  I've run into a clogging issue I've never seen before. One ink
will show a clog so I do a cleaning cycle. When I run a nozzle check the
first ink is OK but now a second shows clogged. I'll run another cleaning
cycle and the first two show OK but a third shows clogged. Perhaps I
injected some air while refilling the cart's (MIS Pro). Also, we've just
entered the dry winter season so perhaps this is what's driving the problem.

Thoughts / suggestions?

Terry.
