I digress,
        Your right, Epson suggests three head cleanings and then try 
switching carts. I guess the tech I talked to was out to get me. Of 
course they assume oem carts with no CIS and their inks. I was 
suggesting running HCs just until about half of the nozzles were 
firing only because there was no ink coming out at all. There 
wouldn't be any to build up - a special case for this circumstance. 
But not more than 3 as a standard operating procedure. I wonder if 
the others gleemed the 3 head cleaning from Epson or if they have 
some test results showing 3 to be the ideal. 

Thanks for the correction.
