Ink refill

A liitle more info on what you're doing. Installing a new machine, etc?

 

Yes, an ink fill does consume a lot of ink.

On the grainy issue: I assume that the test print that you're printing is the Nozzle Check Test Print, from the machine's control panel correct? It prints in a single pass, so I wouldn't be too concerned about the graininess in the solid patches. In production you never print in that pass count. In that test print, you want to see essentially 6 solid colors, CMYKcm , with few or no white lines that indicate nozzle outs.
