The compatible BC-60 (Canon 0917A003) cartridge that I Refilled is printing poorly or not at printing at all
Make sure that the cartridge has finished dripping:
-
After you fill this cartridge, it is normal for it to drip for up to an hour
while the cartridge is stabilizing itself after receiving the ink you
injected. You can not print if the cartridge is still dripping.
The little drops of ink which are accumulating on the printhead while the
cartridge is dripping will impede the printing process. The prints will
usually have blotches of ink in spots, and very inconsistent printing throughout
the pages you print. The cartridge needs to completely stabilize before
you attempt to use it in your machine. Once the dripping has stopped, the
ink on the printhead needs to be removed from the printhead before placing the
cartridge into your machine. A paper towel, or sponge, is the best way to
remove this ink because they generally will not leave any of their own particles
on the printhead when you are wiping it off.

On this cartridge, the FILL HOLES should NOT be sealed:
-
Make sure the fill holes are open. This cartridge needs the air coming into it in order
for the ink to be released from it.

There is possibly an air bubble problem in your machine:
- Tap the top of the cartridge and let it set a while to allow the air bubble to work its way out via gravity.
- If this doesn't work then drip some ink into the inlet port in the machine (with the cartridge out, of course) using your syringe and needle.
- Place the cartridge back into the machine and attempt to print again.
- Repeat as necessary to remove any air bubbles that might be present in
your machine.

The print enhancer has probably contaminated the ink ports, or visa versa.
- Unfortunately, there is no repair in this situation.
