What do I do when the ink dries ?

You can purchase a bottle of ink. You can refill it somehow. I am sure there must be directions somewhere as to how to do it. I think the directions might be in the box. I bought this as a wedding gift so I am not sure. The manufacturer's website may have them. Hope that helps.

I just rinse it off with water and scrubbing with my fingers. Once it dries it will be sticky again.

I dont think the ink might dry out, but you have a selector to be choosen when you have to move it, you can put the printer in moving mode and the ink will remain full in the entire system.there are an small plastic caps located in the ink tanks when you do the first charge, remain this caps because you will use it when you might move or store your printer in some place, this caps will prevent the oxigen get inside the ink

Get a special solution called print head cleaner at printerfillingstation.com. You can either use the solution in empty cartridges. Or since the printer is already clogged, you most likely could put a drop where the cartridges sit in the chassis. Then run cleaning cycles to work the solution through.

I imagine it lasts for a long time if it's sealed, but if opened then it will slowly evaporate and gum up if not used. Try a damp paper towel-wipe the ink cartridge on it then put back in machine, it works at my office.

A damp rag or green pad. Whatever you do, font let it run under or soak in water. Also wait for it to completely cool.

Tried all of the suggested corrections to no avail then a light went on above my head. References to the ink overflow being full. Try this: Open lid and allow the ink carrier to center itself. Behind the ink carrier you will see a row of white rollers. At the right side end of the rollers you will see a small white unit with a little piece of plastic sticking up. Now, take a piece of paper towel, or maybe a Q-tip, and clean all of the ink off this little piece of plastic. Recommend rubber gloves while doing this. Found ink all over the place in mine. Immediately towards the front, maybe an inch, from of that piece of clear plastic there is a small square that is a foam, sponge like pad. Take some pieces of paper towels and press into this foam. Do this several times until the paper towel is no longer soaking up ink. Once that is completed, close the lid, turnoff the printer, restart the printer and print a test page. This cleared the 6C10 error and I was able to print again with no problem. Might be a good idea to soak up the ink in the pad every time you change inks.

Make sure that you store the pen with the tip up, if you store it lying down or with tip down the ink will run down and dry in the channel.

Some inks will dry and clog more quickly than others, but they'll all do it eventually. If you need to store the pen be sure to wash out both the section (that holds the nib) and the converter. Bulb syringes are your best friend when cleaning. Then shake them out, let them air dry for a day or so, and store. If you still want to use it somewhat regularly and not store it, then seek out inks made by Waterman, Parker, and Sheaffer. These are old, trusted brands, and are a bit less likely to clog as quickly. They'll be easier to wash out of your pen as well. You also might seek out some "washable" inks (like Parker Quink Washable Blue), though be aware that most washable inks may fade on paper.

I haven't had occasion to clean ink stains from it, but as it's leather, I recommend first trying rubbing lightly with a cloth just damp with warm water. If that doesn't work, my next thought would be saddle soap, which is more effective on oil-based stains. (Some inks are water-based, and some are oil-based.)

I agree. The Blick Waterbased Printmaking Ink works best. However you can also add an acrylic extender into the Tempera and it works good too.

Well, I stood over something to catch the flying ink (a sink, trash can, etc.) and just shook it downward - same way you want the ink to flow - then tested it, if it didn't start to flow after a few seconds I gave it another shake. (Not up and down, just downward.) It always worked for me!

try taking the cartridge out of the printer and wipe the edge where the ink comes out with a damp tissue to get the ink flowing again; I have this problem with the color cartridge

Try some hot water. warming up the pen will make it expand and let go of the nib... It may take a couple of tries be patient and be gentle.

Do you have an online manual? All the answers can be found in it. I believe you can press and hold the STOPbutton to clear it. Check your paper and ink, too.

Peel the sticker off of UR old ink cartridge underneath it there is a little dot. Use the hand drill that came with UR kit to drill hole out. Fill syringe or use ink bottle with needle. Put needle in al the way till u feel the sponge and take your time squeezing ink in, it will come out of the top hole u drilled when it's full. Wipe ink away and put scotch tape over hole. If the sponge dries all the way out it can't be refilled.
