Latex 360 Maintence cartige

Is there a way to drain the old maintence? While waiting for new one ?

So printer is saying it's 0%? Is it forcing you to replace it?
No... you can't cheat it very easily. And if the cleaning roll is actually at the end you can't even use it anyways....

I recommend to always keep one or two in stock. It doesn't really expire so...

And if i really rally need to cheat is there a way ?

If you have ran it till it doesn't accept it anymore (past the limit), the cleaning roll is really close to the end. If you cheat and it ends you can break something! All your printheads for example.
So assuming that it's not really at the end yet... If you take out the cartridge you will see some black lines printed to it on the clean side.
You would need to create new black line let's say to the middle with marker or something.
Still this doesn't mean it will read it correctly and as soon as your line has gone past the reading point it will again know that it's ending.

So really I would tell you there is no good way. Or at least I don't know any. And I do not recommend trying anything.

As been said, you can cheat a lot of things on printers but this one is not recommended to try, if it's out, you replace it. There's kind of a "rag" in it that rolls just one way. I guess it could cause issues with motors and cogs etc. (if you can get it to keep using the old cartridge) if the "rag" runs out and jams?

If it is not completely out you still have about 100m from the time it goes on reserve.
My question would be if it runs out completely and i cant get one for say a week or so does this mean that there is zero cleaning in the interim?

Yeah there's no automatic cleanings ever if it's sleeping or powered off or if you run out of the cleaning cartridge. Only when you use it. Just never take out the cartridge because then the printheads are not capped.

You can leave the printer sitting for 2-4 weeks pretty much with no trouble. After that the nozzles do start to dry up but usually still very recoverable.
