The colours do not appear when I am printing. The black is OK but only the blue works from the colour cartridg? -

I have refilled both cartridges a few times. The printer is a Lexmark X1100 I have cleaned the nozzle s four times, aligned the cartridges several times also. I have removed the colour cartridge and wiped it with a damp cloth. When I print a document all I get is black amp; blue.

MAYBE THE CARTRIDGES HAVE GONE DRYNEAR PRINTING POINT DIP CARTRIDGE HEAD IN WARM WATER AND IF YOU SEE ALL THREE COLOURS THEN ITS RELEASED AND WORK FINE OTHER THAN THAT TRY NEW CARTRIDGES IN PRINTER

Lexmark cartridges are made so that you can t refill them successfully. They give away their printers (by the time you ve allowed for the price of the ink supplied with it) and make their money by selling overpriced ink cartridges. You may be able to free up the magenta and yellow nozzles if you wipe them with a cotton bud soaked in alcohol (meths, surgical spirit, gin all work), but they re likely to clog up again.

The print head does burn out, it does warp and it does dry. You rpobably need to replace your colour cartridge. With a lexmark you are lucky to get one refill, let along several.
