OK, please refrain from telling me you could have told me so!
I got a printer from a friend after mine broke. The catch is that it needed $60 in printer cartridges ... I did not have it ... so I bit the bullet and spent $20 on some "guaranteed" remanufactured cartridges from ebay.
The printer does not even recognize the color one.
When I contacted the seller, he said to sit it on a wet paper towel until the ink starts flowing and re-apply. If that does not work, he said for me to send it back. At my expense. To California.
Won't the wet paper towel thing make the colors run together in this tri-color cartridge?
Help!

You've just paid your "intro to reused tanks" hands-on-seminar fee. We've all paid it, so, welcome to the club. Now go buy some OEM tanks. Trust me. I've paid the learning tax more than once, I'm embarrassed to say.
There are many variables in formulations among the different manufacturers and even among models made by the same manufacturer. When it comes to inkjets, ink is not ink. But the refillers would have you believe otherwise. Also some manufacturers play games with tank recognition. These newer tanks contain more than just ink and valves/nozzles. There is actually back-and-forth, multi-parameter communication between the tank and the printer that is claimed to guarantee output quality but that appears to be intended instead to generate tank revenue. The manufacturers play tricks, and some refillers don't know how to work around them.
To your specific problem. If the colors run, are you really any worse off than you are now?
