From everything I’ve read/watched, and my own personal experience, you should not use the inks that come with the printer. You should use the sublimation inks only. The other thing I discovered is that shaking the inks causes bubbles which can get trapped in the tubes. This can cause the broken lines during the nozzle check. I shook mine and that’s what happened. I found that letting the printer sit for a couple of days and then running another cleaning and nozzle check cleared up the problem. So glad you got your printer working, such a relief.

@BoHoGoJo Жыл бұрын

The 2 types of ink that are normally used for inkjet printers are dye based and pigment based. If you refill a pigment ink cartridge with dye ink they will bubble and get thick with blobs of ink and it immediately clogs the inkjets.
