Hi there,
I have some strange issue since a few days.
My mimaki CJV30-160, am using auto reset chips, that one from MAGENTA gets down to 1% after very short time !?
I already have changed the board on ink catrdiges backside, nothing has changed.......
Made a hardware reset, battery out......

Someone knows about that or has a solution ?!

thanks for any advice
Andy ;P

There is a small, black, plastic lever towards the back, right side of every cartridge holder. It senses whether the cartridge is physically empty. If that lever gets touched even slightly, it will set the cartridge to, "near end" which is about 1%. If it's broken it usually defaults to 1% as well for some reason. So you just need to figure out what is touching that lever and make it stop.
