Why are my ink cartridges running out of ink prior to producing 35 copies?
The typical indication of an empty ink cartridge is a very rapid degradation of print quality. The exhausted color will run out in the course of a single print. If the degradation happens more slowly or far earlier than expected, the ink cartridge may be malfunctioning but not empty or the print head may be malfunctioning. If the ink cartridges appear to prematurely run out of ink. remove the gray cartridges from the print head and tap them on the table with the open whole facing down toward the table. Ensure that you have some paper to protect the table from the ink that will splash out of the ports. This action encourages the ink and sponges to reset in the bottom of the cartridge prolonging the life of the cartridge. Additionally, if the color cartridge is not completely snapped into the print head, the blue ink may not print. Caution: Do not tap the bottom of the black print head.
