Cause
Ink waste is a calculated value, if the prompt does occur chances are the pads are saturated with ink.
Solution
The waste tank is a measurement of expected ink waste as calculated by the utility software. Different ambient environments can affect absorption by the pads (temperature, humidity, altitude, etc). It is recommended that the entire waste tray be replaced when prompted by the utility software. Ignoring this message is done at your own risk. The pads are a special design for maximum absorption, never substitute with another over the counter material.
