The print head on my bubblejet is on the cartridge.
Current cartridge on sixth refill at least, BC-02
cartridge type.
Lost one cartridge to my improperly filling by not depressing
the filler spout into the foam pad and another cartridge
upon refilling appears to have lost an electrical
addressing line on the print head but I'm saving it for low
quality work if necessary.
I've not bought a cartridge in six years.
