Wrong or No Ink Cartridge Problem
When i turn on My Sp50i I get Wrong or No Ink Cartridge error
I have replaced all the inks, its totally random i have to remove and replace inks I could take out black and then one of the others become ok. I do this until it comes on 1 to 10 mins
I Have to leave it on stand by other wise in the morning it would be stuck on this error when going through the cleaning cycle in the night. Any help would be G8 tks

It's most likely not the card reader. You can clean that part with alcohol and it should be fine. It's more likely the pack end sensor that detects whether a cartridge is installed and if it is empty or not. Over the years the sensor can be pushed out of place and cause issues like this.

That's what i think, but then why does it only have a problem at the start up and not on stand by?
