I started using the jetset inks to refil my cartidge and I think it has leaked onto the chip thing that sends messages to the cartidge. I have cleaned it off but it still does print in black. I think the chip thing is damaged on the printer. Is this worth fixing? Or do I just need to clean it a little bit more? All help appreciated, thanks in advance!
REMOVE COVER BY TAKING OUT THE TWO SCREWS ON THE BACK (ONE NEAR CABLE CONNECTOR & ONE RESESED ON OTHER SIDE). THEN THERE ARE TWO THUMB CLIPS ON THE BOTTOM. UNCLIP THEM & COVER WILL COME OFF. MOVE HEADS FROM PARK POSITION &CLEAN THE TWO RECTANGLE LOOKING MAGNETS WITH QTIP & ALCOHOL.

The Lexmark z1300 cannot be refilled. The cartridges have some kind of recognition system, that rejects refilled cartridges, so beware. I have searched online for days to find out how to override the system. Just know that you'll have to buy a new cartridge every time, and that the colors do not come out as indicated on your computer. They are muted.

Try cleaning the contacts with a q-tip and some rubbing alcohol. Make sure the contacts on the cartridge are clean too. You can buy a new Lexmark Z1300 for $30, and their cartridge prices are not that bad per page any more. So I'm not sure it's worth the hassle and risk of refilling yourself.
