An E05 That Appeared After a Cartridge Refill Attempt
Refilling a cartridge at home can save money, but it also introduces new ways for the printer to reject it. An E05 after a refill attempt is often about the cartridge chip, contacts, or seating rather than the amount of ink inside.
Remove the refilled cartridge and check the outside carefully. Ink on the contacts or chip, tape residue, or a label that shifted during refilling can all interfere with recognition. Clean only with a dry, lint-free cloth and let any dampness dry completely.
Make sure the refill hole is sealed as the refill instructions describe, and that no ink is leaking from the nozzle side. A leaking cartridge should not be put back into the printer.
Reinstall the cartridge firmly, close the cover, and allow recognition to finish. If you still have an original cartridge for the same slot, try it as a comparison. If the original works, the refilled cartridge is the problem.
Avoid repeated cleaning cycles to force a refilled cartridge to work. Note the cartridge type, refill date, and exact message, and follow a model-specific E05 guide before trying another refill.
If you decide not to use the refilled cartridge, keep it in a sealed bag on a protected surface and do not store it on its side. Leftover ink can still leak and stain, even if the printer never accepted it.
When you next buy or refill, match the exact cartridge number and follow the refill method for that chip type. A careful first refill is less work than diagnosing a string of E05 messages later.
A refill that ends in E05 is not a reason to keep reseating the same cartridge all evening. One careful clean and one comparison with an original cartridge will tell you more than a dozen restarts.
