Troubleshooting

Printer not recognizing the ink.

Ensure the ink bottle was fully seated and the ink flow completed. Re-seat the bottle and check for any obstructions. Verify you are using the correct ink bottle model for your printer.

Yellow ink appears faded or streaky.

Check if the ink tank is low and needs refilling. Run a print head cleaning cycle through your printer's maintenance settings. Ensure the nozzle of the ink bottle was correctly inserted into the ink tank.

Ink leaking during refill.

Ensure the ink tank cap is fully open and the bottle nozzle is correctly inserted. Do not force the bottle; it should connect smoothly. Make sure the bottle cap is securely replaced after refilling and the printer cover is closed properly.
