Chip, ink and everyday use

Office use makes the order of spending clear on the iB4120: a cartridge rated in the thousands of pages should not be discarded over one faded run. Fit it, let the printer run alignment if it asks, and print; if output fades, run the printer's own cleaning cycle first — dried nozzles after idle weeks are the usual cause, and they clear. The compatible chip keeps level reporting honest, and spares stored sealed in a drawer stay ready for months.
