Default There is 100cc of ink in my cart. when Brother says there is NONE READ! TY

So I took advice of a member here about opening upo cart. and pushing ink forward like tooth paste and taping down.
Well I was in disbelief what I saw:
I ran out of black Ink (or so Brother printer says) I open up cart and there was "No Joke" 80 to 100 cc atleast of ink still left. I just had to push ink 1/3 way forward and now it says I got half a full cart.

They apparently make there money by scamming people on the ink major time Ha.
Well I will def. order Sawgrass inks from Harry at equipmentZone next week because I heard awesome reviews from people via PM and will disclose my own review in open forum when I actually run low on ink Ha

I meant when you test the Sawgrass inks, rather than of you rolling up ink bags. Since sample pics still seem to be hard to come by, for those inks........

Hey Dude,

I have heard even if machine sets for a month, you can do a few power head cleans and get it back working.
Brothers are a workhorse and are made to be tough. I not saying Sawgrass are better but they apparently print just as good and are $50 cheap a cart.
The inks last a very long time, so far I got about 1 thous prints and inks are going stronge with a little help ofcourse Ha

Sean,

As you have mentioned, we're not claiming the Sawgrass ink cartridges are better then the Brother inks. The ink, at the very least, is as good as the Brother inks so the competitive advantage comes down to price. Let me know when you're ready to try.

Does the sawgrass ink come with the cleaning kit in every black cartridge like the brother?

Someone on the Westcoast has experienced head failure with the Sawgrass Inks. I wonder if they will post their experience here. Hint Hint

I heard that to but I can't imagine has it can be possible.
Brother uses heavy duty heads and waterbased inks are no where as bad as solvent based inks in the arena of head killing
