I have a Canon 2200 MG printer.
I replaced the low capacity black cartridge with a higher capacity cartridge.
As a scientist, I decided to take the old one apart.
As is typical of the "It doesn't need to last" mantra of printer manufacturers, the foam that holds the ink was quite non-absorbent.
The foam was white and the only place it was black was where my needle had punctured the foam and it did not spread very far.
I had previously refilled it twice.
I replaced the foam with a much more absorbent foam and the printer ink soaked in great.
I did multiple cleanings etc. but it won't print correctly.
As much ink as I put in, I expected that ink would be all over the printed page.
Any ideas as to the cause and possible fix ?
