Soak the entire printer in acetone and then dry it off with a flammenwerfer.

It’s a bummer.

lol. Fuck. Now the color carts ran out and I can’t print black. I have my monochrome laser but still.
I like how the color changed on the yellow.
I warmed up the solution and injecting seemed to go fine. Napkins full of wetness and color. Let it all dry. Ran a few cleaning cycles. And now it’s worse.
Maybe I should have done more injecting? Maybe the ink carts had dried up or something (doesn’t seem so as I can see the ink in them).
I bought more chink ink but won’t be in until Friday.

good luck with the new ink.
I'd bet the printer is toast. Get a color laser.

Shit can the printer. Get another one. Once it starts doing that shit it's over.

I’d like one with tanks you can refill. Gonna research.

I've had the best luck with canons for ink cartridges. I have a TS6400 model now. After market refills cartridges are easy to find and decent priced. You can also go the refill on your own route and get more empties off of eBay and other places to do your own.
Canon doesn't seem to be the level of bastard that HP is. Epson is good as well but I've heard they play the "invisible watermarks" on their printers and some models are hit and miss with refilling and their ink tank stuff, while good, has some issues with the lines drying out from occasionally use.

Thanks for the info! I’ll check out your model. Really interested in those refillable tank ones though. Seems less hassle.
