Well after topping the inks up and another cleaning session the the heads have now stayed spotless for 3 days with the prints being of a high quality. The inks were showing empty the other day as well and you just turn the printer off and when it comes back on they show full :D

it got clogged up again and i needed to run a lot of cleaning cycles again and once again i topped the inks back back up (with just one syringe full) and its been clean since (about a week i guess) so i am wondering if the initial inks were a bit thick or something.

Which make of CISS did you get John? Is there a certain type to get or are they all the same?

I am guessing they are pumped out of China mate, there wasnt a specific brand or owt on the box. It is miles better now the original ink has been flushed through though.

Going wildy off topic but we know of 2 people with swine flu (both in isolation now) and it seems they have stopped announcing the numbers of people getting it because nothing has been mentioned at any time on the local news.

Since it appears to be no worse (or better) than other types of flu... OTOH we are getting reports in this region, on BBC Radio Devon.

When it comes to reporting people getting it and where they are it seems so, you are hearing about deaths but all the specifics are not being broadcast (well not round here anyway)

So the CISS arrived on the 12 of may and yesterday i had to top the ink tanks up cos they were down to about a third full. So in 4 and a bit months i have used about £6 of ink and boy as it been hammered at times (my wife had to print off nearly 400 sheets one day LOL)

Just checked the ink levels in my printer - the colours are over 75% full but the black is down to a half. So it's getting near the time to think about ink. I'm thinking I might get a CISS for my printer. Amazon do one specifically for this printer at 40 quid. I was wondering where you got yours Trev and for how much. 40 squid doesn't seem bad considering Tesco are selling the replacement ink tank sets at £48!

John, I know you have one too - think I read you got yours from SVC.

I still haven`t got round to ordering one. I was looking on ebay where they range from £30 -£50.
I guess its better to get one pre filled.
