would have to replace the cartridges once they are used up?

you will need to replace the fuej cartridge when it is empty the pads you need to judge for your self when it looks like it is used up change it, these things are great.

Hi. Yes you would. The cartridge usually lasts up to 12 hours. Also make sure that the mat is dark blue color. Otherwise you would have to change too. A mat usually lasts up to 4 hours. Best regards, Megaoutdoor

I've had mine over a year... no problems. Each cartridge is packed in a sealed plastic "bag" that it seems to me would greatly increase shelf life and prevent drying out... but they are also not "open" until you insert them into the machine so I suspect the shelf life is fairly long.

I have had issues with the remanufactured cartridges. Sometimes they are great, other times they don't last very long or don't work at all. I have gone back to using new as it is hit and miss.

They should not need to be reset as long as there is ink feeding the cartridges. But to reset them, just remove each one ( cartridge ) out of the printer and then put it back in, one at a time.

We had no problems for a few refills then the printer stopped recognizing the cartridges. We have not used the printer other than as a scanner in about a year now. Wish I could actually help.

As far as I know the cartridge is not rechargeable so you do need to buy a new one when it's expired.

I replace each cartridge one for one. GY in grey, M in magenta, Y in the yellows slot and so on. Do one at a time and you can't go wrong'

I never looked inside the cartridge. They were not obviously wet to me. They do have to be soaked on a bowl of water for like 24 hours before you use the machine first time for that cartridge. When you don't use it for a week or so, they will also need to be rehydrated, or the machine doesn't work. Beyond that, maybe call the manufacturer?

I've never not used my printer for 3 months, but if It was going to be inactive, I would remove the cartridges and replace with new cartridges when I was going to use the printer. The cartridges could leak or dry out.

This happened to me after not using for a while. I pulled the cartridges and reset them and it ran thru the tests and seemed to change the settings worked for quite a while after. I think it cleaned the heads.

I would think so. I just had a message last night to change one of the cartridges and it stopped in the middle of a job and didn't start printing until I had replaced that cartridge. BTW, gotta say this has become my favorite printer.

I called the seller and the answer that they gave me was to just wait until the printer says the cartridge is empty then remove it and replace it. You have to physically check the cartridges to see if there is enough ink.

Yes to both questions. Replacement cartridge cost will easily exceed the purchase price of the printer over time but that's typical for most printers. Also dealers for replacement cartridges are limited but I currently use suppliesguys.comHope that helps.

No.there are cartridges that need to be replaced but if you use filtered or distilled water you do not absolutely have to use those cartridges

If the printer sits unused for too long, the ink dries inside the print head, and new cartridges don't help. The print head has to be replaced if this happens - I went through 2 print heads before I gave up on this otherwise good printer. PS the print head was over $100 the last time I bought one - more than a new printer with ink - it just wasn't an economical repair. I tried cleaning the old one several times, never got satisfactory printing results.

The first time you purchase you need to buy the whole unit. After that you just buy the replacement cartridge...remove the used one from the housing and drop in the new one.
