"
I refilled my cartridge, with no problem but the ink comes out faint, I think the ink jets are clogged is there anything I can do to unclogged them, Ive used the cleaning solution that was provided, should I soak the print head a little longer, what do you think?"

You should always refill as early as possible to prevent the print heads from clogging up. As long as the cartridge has not been left empty for too long you can try unclogging the heads by leaving them to soak in Uni-Kit print head cleaning solution for a few hours, also try boiling hot water and leaving the heads to rest in boiling water for a few seconds, but be careful not to get water on the electrical cicruits next to the heads!
The best way to unclog the print heads is to use a steamer and force steam into the heads.

Hmm, boiled clogged cartridge

I’m an aspiring photographer/graphic designer, I want to enter a more professional level with my hobby, but cartridge is so expensive… I’ve installed continuous ink supply system-results are quite impressive. CISS is suitable for printers and all-in-one for photo studios. For graphic designers, it’s a chance to practice and improve your graphic editors skills: Corel Draw, Adobe Photoshop and check results by printing at home! I print my digital photos by the thousand now as well

No more clogged boiled cartridge...
