Digital BW, The Print

I have found that the tubes themselves can actually become blocked
especially the black. I found this with MIS VM and FS ink.  If the tube is
clear in places and the ink
has dried to the tube then you may have  a partial block.

I deattached tube from the cartridge "elbow joint" , by pulling it off, then
attached the small nozzle from a vacuum refill kit to the end of tube and
blew the in ink out. I did also take the other end of the tube out the
bottle and put in a plastic bag.
CAREFULL if the end is not covered the ink will go EVERYWHERE.

Hope it might help
