How do you get the cartridges supplied by Namiki Pilot to seat in the chamber (pressing harder results in a collapsed cartridge)?

I didn't have any problem seating it. I did have to squeeze it for the first use until the ink flowed to the nib. Be careful, it can be messy.

I use cartridges by Namiki Pilot. I use size IC100. I assume that you are doing the same. I unscrew the end that has the retractor button. Then I remove the stainless steel cartridge cover (the big end is inserted toward the nib and there is a bump on the sleeve that guides the steel cartridge cover to place. The old cartridge comes out with easy finger friction. Place the new cartridge in big end in first and tapered end last. Push in the cartridge cover until it meets resistance as you push it over the new cartridge into the sleeve. When I push the cartridge all the way in, I cannot see the bumps on the cartridge cover..... the bump fits inside the sleeve. I'm not sure you can insert the cartridge backwards. The top of the cartridge just fits nicely inside the cartridge cover. Next, make sure the push button is out (I'm not even sure you could get the cartridge inserted if the button is pushed in) and carefully screw the top end to place. I suspect that you have been doing all of these steps correctly as they are fairly self evident. The only things that I can think of: you might have an incorrect cartridge or you are trying to insert the cartridge with the button pushed in. As I think about it, you would need some powerful force to crush the cartridge...... not good. On my pen, everything goes easily to place with gentle pressure. It is obvious when my pen is screwed back together as there is a definite stop when it is screwed in place properly. This is such a wonderful pen. I love using it. I even like to look at it. One more thing: I don't insert the cartridge ALL the way to place in the beginning. After I have pushed the cartridge cover into the sleeve and meet with obvious resistance, I place the sleeve and nib carefully back into the pen, and screw the top in which pushes the plastic cartridge to precise position when the top is screwed home.

Uncap the pen and unscrew in the middle.... The cartridge should be pilot... The standard cartridge doesn't fit,....

Yes I simply take the cartridge's out and put back in making sure they are locked into position. Thishas been the ONLY problem I have had with them.

My cartridges smudged considerably,so I tried to remove the plastic covers. They are firmly attached. Any help on how to fix this problem?

Sounds daft but have you pulled the tab off the new cartridge properly? Theres sometimes a clear film over where the ink comes out for stopping it drying out whilst on the shelf. Try print head alignment through the maintenence function

I have never had an issue with mine, so my guess is you either don't have the cartridge snapped in all the way or it is defective.

I have a bit of trouble with this too.Trick is :DO NOT un screw the bottom. You are going to have to to sit on your butt , take your right leg and pull on the plunger till it locks to the notch on the bottom. What ever you do , do not knock the plunger . insert the cartridge open end down. Peel off the top of the cartridge .Screw the top of the grease gun down.There is no reason ever to remove the bottom of the grease gun. This is the best grease gun I have ever owned.

You just push the cartridge in (the end that tapers). It takes a good push, but you will feel it seat when it penetrates the cartridge.

My husband said to press the tiny buttons at the bottom of the handle. That should eject the old cartridge. Then just press the handle into a new blade cartridge and it should snap on. Hope that answers the question!

I had the same problem. The instructions are poor on this, if you look inside the Brother cartridge slot, there is a male end that is supposed to pick up the ink. One of the YOYO inks was missing a seal inside that was visible on the other inks. You may have to create a small hole in the tough piece of tape that covers the round opening, just big enough to be able to push the cartridge onto the male end of the Brother ink slot. I think that it is supposed to fit snug so no ink leaks out of the cartridge. So don't make the hole too big that it fits loose onto the small male end inside the Brother ink tray.

Insert each cartridge slanted towards the front and press there before rocking it down pressing in the back. I used to have the same problem. It doesn't seem to matter what order you put them in, ex. you can replace any of them without removing any.

First thing check to make sure this is the right cartridge for your machine by looking into your owners manual if it is then the tab you are referring to is the way it is locked into your printer just push forward and then down you should feel and hear that it has clicked into place I hope this helps you

Notice that on the cartridge, there is a raised dot, make sure it is lined up with the notch. Push into place.

I am still using my first cartridge, so I cannot be of any help, but can you contact the seller to inquire about your problem? I see someone else had a problem, so I will be on alert when I change to the new one. Sorry I cannot be of more help. bummer...

Separate chambers. I took off the paper label on the cartridge so I could see the fill holes. Then I stuck a thin straw into a hole to see what color it had, and filled that hole with the proper color. I have been doing this a long time and it works great. I have better luck if I let the cartridge sit for a few hours after it is filled and then print a couple of test runs.
