   Hello Anna, the most common problem with clogs right after you put 
in new carts is air trapped in the print head. The best thing do to 
is wait until the air clears. Try waiting another 24 hours and 
recheck- but don't run more than 2 head cleanings. If you still don't 
get anything contact the Peizography people. BTW. Were all the 
nozzles firing while you were flushing with the cleaning carts?

I've check to make sure that the 'vent' is open but not 'too open' on
