Re: Refilling Lexmark cartridges?

Hi Eric, these Lexmark cartridges don't seem to refill that well - it
seems as though the sponges in them are not very good quality. The
nozzles burn out quite easily too, so the combination of not enough ink
flow and easy to burn out nozzles has probably fried your cartridge.
There may also be some issues with the ink quality, always make sure
you spend a little extra to get a better quality ink. You will have to
scratch this cartridge and start again with a new one. Remember the
rule with ink cartridges that have printheads: never let them run dry,
it is best to top them up when they are half empty.
