I just started refilling Epson 1200 carts. This is my first attempt and I ran into a problem. I hope someone can help. I am using the Ultra-Fill Vacuum method. I first filled two black carts with no problem. BTW, these are brand new empty carts. In filling the color cart however, I ran into problems. The first color went fine. On the second color the needle wouldn't go all the way in but the ink flowed OK so I went to the third color. When I put the needle in, very little ink went in even though the large "vacuum" syringe indicated about 12cc's would be needed. I did another pump or two,and there was definitely a vacuum with no leaks. I inserted the needle again and a little more ink flowed but not much. Anyway I went to the fourth color. Did the Vacuum check, as I did with all colors, then did two pulls on the syringe and clipped off the hose. When I put the ink syringe in, it took absolutely no ink. The needle was all the way in. Does anyone know what I did wrong? The black carts went fine. I did the same procedure on the color cart with the above result. Do I possibly have a bad cart? The only way I could get more vacuum is to use a power driven pump. Any help or insights are appreciated. Bob - Please do not include an entire message in your response.
