Drain color ink cartridge
In refilling a Canon color cartridge, I accidentally injected 2 colors into the wrong holes.
I sucked out as much as I could and refilled them. But the colors are still off. I printed this color test page about 30 times in order to use up all the color ink. The ink level has still not gone down. (Like it's a bottomless pit.) Any suggestions ? Thanks, Andy
