i swabed the bottom of the Ink cartrage with water and got a verry faint picture out of it

There should be an option in your printer controll panel to clean the print heads automatically.

At the bottom where the ink comes out of the cartridge, take a Q-tip saturated in rubbing alcohol and soak the end.

I have really old Apple Stylewriter Pro cartridges that I treated this way, and they worked for a bit.
