Digital BW, The Print

Hi David:

I don't have the Cone system and inks, but I use the inkrepublic  
system. Other than the ink, it is the identical system.

Judging from my experience with the inkrepublic system I am willing to  
wager the problem is not clogs per se but rather pressure.

_some_of these cartridges cannot maintain enough pressure to keep the  
ink flowing. The 3800 pressurizes the cartridges and that pushes the  
ink through. However, the aftermarket cartridges are a different size.  
Perhaps that is a contributing factor.

To cut to the chase, try putting more ink in the cartridge and do some  
cleaning cycles. The ink should come back. I was sitting with only  
half my nozzle colours for a week before I stumbled upon this  
solution. Even though there may still be ink in your cartridge, it  
will be too low to get to the printhead because the pressure is too  
low. Some cartridges are good though.

Give that a try, do some cleaning but you may not get them all back  
immediately. I have had no problems since.
