We have a lot of iron in our water. When the water changes color or gets foggy and/or flow slows down.

The newer cartridges have micro chips which maybe need to be reset I found ask.com and tube helpful

Try a fresh cartridge, sometimes is was keep in a warm place or you don't use in a while this happens.

pull out plastic cover... take hold of cartridge and pull straight out. new one snaps into place easily. replace cover

The date on the package is the warranty expiration date. It DOES NOT mean that the cartridge is no good after the date.

Wish I had an answer for you, but I have yet to replace the cartridge. Really like this pen on my keychain, though, a convenience any number of times.

I went thru the same thing. Contacted the seller and they sent me new ones and I had the same problem. I'm not happy with the cartridges OR my printer. Wish I could give you more help.

I've been trying to find the same thing out for myself. An empty cartridge that I can refill? Anyone have any input?

Missing colours sounds like a clogged printhead. As for the cartridge...I don't know why

I hope you kept your packaging. This happened to me and I learned the hard way that if the cartridge is beyond the expiration date, it will not work! The expiration date is on the outside of the original box. So it is critical you check the date before you open the box and install a cartridge that will not work!

Before panicking, I would unplug the printer for 30 seconds after shutting it down, and do a reboot with the new cartridge in. If that doesn't work you can try it with the old cartridge in and then change cartridges after the reboot. I'm figuring you probably have this resolved by now, so can you tell us what ended up happening? Thanks.

You probably have one cartridge that is not working. That will throw off the color drastically.

We have had ours for a year or more, and it just started doing this. I have not had a chance to look at it, but I believe the problem is a gear in the cartridge. I will change the cartridge and see what happens.

Turn printer on pull down panel just above the tray that catches you printouts. The print cartridges will go to the center of the track so you can see them. A picture on the inside of the cover will show you how to take a used cartridge out and replace it with a new one

I think the expiration date is on the packaging. It is not on the cartridge itself

I actually have had this same situation with other laser printers, other brands....think it may just be a built-in reminder to have a replacement on hand. I simply continue to use the cartridge until it is fully empty but I do have my replacement on hand and ready. I may look at it differently but I don't see it as a complaint...am VERY pleased with the overall usage and the COST of usage.

When the print from a toner cartridge begins to fade after couple thousand pages or so, remove the cartridge and give it a good shaking. Then, replace the cartridge. It will behave as new again for an unknown period of time. Good machine.
