In addition to what Eddie said, you might have air or foam in the outlets.  Just letting a printer sit for several hours can help.  When you load ink in a new cart, be sure to "prime" it by pulling the air out the outlet with an MIS bottom fill adapter.  See http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Modified-Bottom-Fill-Adapter.pdf

It looks like the black ink may not be flowing at all.  Be sure you've removed the tab blocking the air inlet on the top of the cart.

Good luck with the outfit.
