Well that blows Don's motorcycle theory out of the water
Anyway i tried Don's fix with the cartridges but to no avail. So if anyone has any other ideas i'm listening.

I ripped apart an old printer, to see if the peizo electric printhead could be used to vaporize gasoline to replace the venturi in a minkuni carburator to improve throttle respons/fuel effiency on a motorcycle......
ran out of money/parts/fireextinguishers before I was able to prove my theory....

Hmmm Running a motorcycle on ink cartridges You maybe onto something there I ripped apart an old printer, to see if the peizo electric printhead could be used to vaporize gasoline to replace the venturi in a minkuni carburator to improve throttle respons/fuel effiency on a motorcycle......

Edit. So does that mean whatever coloured cartridge you are using that is the exhaust colour :

I know that using my multimeter set to continuity test mode, can reset the chip in an epson ink cartridge.....just by probing two of the electrical contacts on the cartridges chip.
Thats interesting Don. How did you find that piece of information. I know that using my multimeter set to continuity test mode, can reset the chip in an epson ink cartridge.....just by probing two of the electrical contacts on the cartridges chip.
So it doesn't matter which 2 contacts : and keep trying until it works I guess is the procedure :

I have been given a box full of HP print cartridges, the problem is they are all beyond thier use by date by about a month. (i didn't know cartridges had a use by date ) Anyway i put one into my printer but it wont recognise it because of the expiry.
What happens to the ink after they have expired :
Is there a way around this or do i just put it down to experience and bin the lot.
Any help apprectiated.

OK Clarky, what i did was some cropping. Putting the flower in the lower right corner. To get rid of a lot of distracting background. The blue parts of the Thing i handled with the change color brush in PS. Very easy to use.
I did not change anything else of the picture.
It was a bit of a quicky in editing, could be much better executed by me

Thanks Martin, My PS skills leave a little to be desired so i apprecitate the effort OK Clarky, what i did was some cropping. Putting the flower in the lower right corner.

The protea was taken on a friends property (she has 100s of them) and she wanted a nice print of one for the house, so i am trying to do it justice
Thanks again.

Hi Clarky,
What really bugs me is the Blue Thing in the background. It distracts alot, while the flower itself diserves all the attention. Whith a few minor adjustments and some cropping (3 minutes in PS) It looks a lot better. IMHO If you want i post an example of what i mean.

Bin the lot. Why risk using degraded inks in your printer?
As i said i wasn't aware ink had an expiry date.
I thought i had hit the mother load when i got 20 cartridges for nix. But it wasn't to be i guess
