RE: refill colors messed up

[Mark Swinkels <MarkSw@Attachmate.com>]

I've seen this with some cartridges where it eventually worked itself out. I
suspect but don't really know that its due to an overfilled cartridge. The
symptoms are as described where one color bleeds over into another color
(e.g. magenta prints everywhere there is yellow). Usually a cleaning cycle
or two removes enough ink to fix the problem.

Sounds like you have some leakage between the chambers of your cartridge,
or they were contaminated during refilling.
