    There is a setting on the machine that will let you finish the banner with the little ink that is left in the cart. Check out your manual it is in there somewhere. Not used it myself yet, so not sure how to tell you now.

    will the printer set the chip on the cart to empty? did it stop printing or you just lost the colour?

    Not sure what the printer was set to as it’s second hand and never checked

    Printer stopped, no loss of colour but can’t hear ink in cart

    I may be wrong, but I think the printer will have set the chip to empty, the printer must of been set to stop when the tag on the cart came out 😕

    Or even a loan of a cart for an hour so the printer will finish the job as it’s only black txt that’s left with an inch of red 🙁

    Hi John

    I think you are in Glasgow?
    I have plenty of ink in my Glasgow office but unfortunately I’m 30 miles away in West Lothian.

    Here are two numbers for people in Glasgow who’ve both helped me with ink and borrowed from me – try them and tell them John from Kall Kwik sent you.
    John Hay 07974 862 077
    Tommy 07984 405 051

    Regards
    John

    If you have a flushing cartridge plug one in to the magenta slot instead. This will allow you to finish printing using the ink in the lines. Then when you get a new magenta cartridge carry out a couple of powerfull head cleans to refill the lines with ink.
