I suspect that is the machine clearing the printer's tubes and such, after the cartridge reservoir IS actually empty. When you start it up again, you'll have to fill up the tubes, just like you did when you first put the machine into service. > > and NEw York guys - anywhere I can get these cartridges for less than > > $20.00 each? > > I buy from http://www.inkjetart.com/index.html, http://inkjetgoodies.com and > http://www.inksupply.com/ www.inksupply.com charges $27 for B&W and $22 for color, for the Epson 820. They sell the Epson 1270 black cartridge for $25, and 5-color for $30!
