We have an Apple Color StyleWriter 1500. The last 3-4 cartridges we've used in it have been Canon BC-02 (black ink) cartridges. We'd been told this printer was made by Canon and the BC-02 was interchangeable (and the store no longer carried the StyleWriter 1500 cartridges).
We're having a problem with the print quality of the latest cartridge. There are white lines through the letters on the printed page, and shadows to the right of the letters, as if the ink had been smudged. I noticed that the orange plastic piece that is supposed to be removed from the cartridge before it is inserted has a piece of foam on it which I've never really noticed before. It's stuck quite securely to the plastic piece. What are the chances that this is part of the cartridge and that it merely adhered to the plastic piece on accident? I've never noticed this piece of foam before, either on a cartridge or on the plastic piece. I can't refer to the old cartridge, because we've already thrown it away. I can't find a picture on the web, to reference. Also, can't find any websites that address the problem. Have found a website that says that the Canon cartridge has fewer inkjets than the Apple, and so it gets plugged up. Could that be it? Answers off- or on-list would be fine. If on-list, please also cc me directly, as I have digest.
