I've read that tubes may pinch with printer cover and may block ink flowing correctly. Is it possible?

Hi yes that happens you also get bubbles in the line. I used it for a little less than a month and then I got an error reading.

this item worked great for the first week then the brackets popped off jamming up the print head. there after every time I go to use it takes me a half hour to reset everything and the tubing gets caught in multiple places inside. this item is a disaster! yes if you finally get it where the tubing dose not catch some where then at the extreme left it dose pinch the tubing which leaves the tops and bottoms off of your sentences. this item has ruined my printer to the point where the regular ink cartridges don't even work any more! I was hoping to save on ink cost and now I have to purchase a new printer! this item worked great for the first week then the brackets popped off jamming up the print head. there after every time I go to use it takes me a half hour to reset everything and the tubing gets caught in multiple places inside. this item is a disaster! yes if you finally get it where the tubing dose not catch some where then at the extreme left it dose pinch the tubing which leaves the tops and bottoms off of your sentences. this item has ruined my printer to the point where the regular ink cartridges don't even work any more!

Same happend to me this ink clogged my print heads, only way to fix it you need to take the print head s apart and clean them with the right products, look in youtube I believe there is a link about how to repair. I just went and bought another printer

Hello- I am sorry but I used an ink jet printer therefore, I can't answer your question but you should not have a problem with your printer as long as it's not a laser printer.

No. The cartridge is designed to work in space and the body itself has a rubber gasket to prevent leaked ink (should it ever happen) from spilling out.

It's been awhile since I installed the cartridges from that purchase. The printer may have asked me to confirm that they were 'epson' cartridges (which I probably would have said yes) or there may have been a warning about nonepson-ness where I had to say yes I want to install them. Seems like the clips or tape preventing ink leakage needed a 2nd look. Rebooting he printer before and/or after installing the cartridges may also help. Otherwise it sounds like a faulty chip(s) in the ink cartridges.

Yes. I've found this is usually because the cartridge is not seated properly in the clip. The rubber sometimes doesn't seal completely around the bottom of the cartridge so you have to wiggle and fool around with it to get it to seal.

If I understand correctly, the cover to which you are referring is punctured as the cartridge is inserted into the printer.

I had a similar problem and the only solution that worked for me was to remove the XL cartidge and replace it with a similar one that is not XL. It seems that ink in the XL cartridge drys up and blocks the flow. I am not using any XL cartridges in the future because of this problem.

Same thing happened to me. After not printing(B&W) for awhile, I took out the black cartridge - carefully, to avoid stains - and wiped the ink orifice with an alcohol-soaked Q-tip. I might have done it more than once; at any rate, it worked and the ink now flows well. The color cartridges were OK, but I am prepared to repeat the trick if necessary. It's worth a try. Good luck.

I assume you are referring to the little round seal on the front and not the packaging. In that case, NO, do not break the seal. This is a sure way to get leaks in your printer. The printer port that accepts the ink cartridge is designed to pierce the seal as it is being installed. This is why installing in one fluid push is important. Many people who report leaks are causing the leaks themselves by partially inserting or inserting and pulling back out. Once the seal is punctured, leave the thing in.

Yes, however I discovered the ink outlets are not the correct shape and they began to leak, so I stopped using them.

I found that I sometimes had to punch out the film covering the part of the cartridge where the ink leaves it. That helped me out. They are sometimes a little hard to "click" in. You may want to play with that part of the cartridge (pull it away from the cartridge or pushing it in firmly.) Hope that this helps!

I believe there is a clear plastic seal glued to outside of passage where ink should go into printer.I removed that seal carefully with penknife. It is glued very well; it may take a few minutes to take it out.

I am not quite sure, because my printer is having some problems. And I am not sure as to what is the exact cause with the printing. So, I don't want to steer you wrong, ok.

Sometimes. Soimetimes Not. I had a difficult time and had to discard a number of cartridges. Not sure, but my printer has never been the same since.

I suppose this is due to an excess ink in the converter. You can turn the nob to draw ink, in this case air, and it will leave the feed a little drier. If not, check alignment of nib and feed, maybe is offset at the base? Hope this was useful.
