Not accepting ink cartridges after 30 days shutdown.

could be an outdated cartridge

 

if you have ink in the slot, it's good and not extremely out of date, hit;

Cancel and down arrow, this will force it to accept the ink.
Hit enter through the next couple screens until you get to the Non-HP ink, up arrow to select, then press and hold "shift-ok" for about one second to confirm.

This forces the machine to use the ink, telling it, it's after market ink.

If the ink is extremely out of date, I wouldn't recommend it, you can mess up a head.

 

Subscribing to this thread, I have a Seiko 100s that does the same thing.

 

no other errors in the system? it boots fine etc?

 

I have the same problem with boerdaux ink
I replace the ink bag to an old cartrige or bordeaux cartrige (the one with the 2 screws) and works perfect
(sorry for my English)

 

Seiko Color Painters will read "Check XX Ink" when it reads an incorrect chip. In other words, this is a chip error. Try yourself another cartridge.

 

Same Issue With 8000s

I have same issue with 8000s only it is my Lc cartridge that it won't read, I have tried replacing with a new one same issue. I have replaced the main board, ink control board, still no help. Could it be that I have 2 bad ink cartridges???

Pancarta did you ever get this issue resolved??

 

If you just bought it and got all the cartridges you are trying with it they could all be out of date.

 

Cartridges are not out of date

New cartridges, I have had this printer for years....

When I said 2 bad cartridges I meant 2 Light Cyan Cartridges bought from same supplier they have different expiration dates the latest one 4/22/2012

 

Duh...didn't look at date on top post, sorry.
