Subject: Changing printer carts

>I just recently purchased the 1270 and the color cart indicator is just
telling 
me to change the cart. Does this need to be done immediately is there still

print time left? The nozzle check still indicates that all the colors are 
available.

You're pretty safe in running the cartridge until the printer says it is
completely out and the flashing light turns solid. There are right many
prints left after the light starts blinking. Seens like I remember that if
the printing stops in the middle of a print it will pick up and continue
after a new cartridtge is put in.....?

Even then there is still some ink in the cartridge and some have used one
of the reset proceedures to print even after that. There is some danger in
doing this as it could possibly damage the print heads. Most of those doing
this have a good idea of how far to push it. For the average user it is
probably an unnecessary risk.
