Hi Peter

Thanks for the advice. I haven't been shaking the cartridges prior to
fitting, but then I've never seen anything in the paperwork that suggested
you should, or in the " on screen " instructions that pop up when you
start replacing a cartridge. I've also never had to do this with any other
printer that I've owned, but I will give it a try on the next replacement
...


Epson seems to endorse shaking cartridges. Here's a couple of Epson
manuals.

However this article says no, though they are talking about not shaking open
cartridges, which is fairly obvious.

Mind, any article with gems of astounding insight like "With regular use,
printer ink may begin to dwindle." doesn't fill me with confidence.
