Hi - I have just ran out of black ink but the levels on the printer and app show as being nearly full.  You have just sent me cyan, magenta and yellow which is great but black is urgently required!!  Why is my printer showing incorrect levels?  How do I keep an eye on this going forward as dont want to have to source ink elsewhere when I am paying a monthly fee.  Thank you.
