Ink Cartridge
How can you know how much ink is in a brand new cartridge?
Recently, I bought brand new ink cartridges from ebay for my Epson Stylus C40UX printer at a great price; at least for what I thought I was getting; I believed that the cartridges would be 100% filled to capacity. When I installed 1 of them, the ink level indicator read that the cartridge was only half full.
After looking at some sites on the Internet, I see that there are many occurances of this situation; people buying brand new ink cartridges, expecting them to be completely filled, but finding out otherwise. My question is how can you tell, when buying a new, unopened ink cartridge, how full it is?
Also, if you have any other guidelines for buying ink cartridges, or tips on refilling cartridges (which I've never done), you can include that as well. Thank you.
Buy from a dealer with a good return policy.
I don't necessarily recommend ink refill kits due to varied results. They usually work, but not always that well.
