Although I've had more than my share of CIS problems, I've never had 
to correct this problem. With that as a disclaimer, I'm going to 
recomend that you explore the MIS site, where they give instructions 
on how to correct this in a CFS unit- I think they would be similar 
enough.

I don't know the exact page but if you hunt around enough in the CFS 
instructions, maybe FAQ's on the CFS, somewhere they describe how to 
cure a similar problem.

Basically, the idea as I understand it is to get some of MIS "bottom 
fill adapters" and stick them on a 10-60 cc syringe. Then you suck ink 
out of the bottom of the offending color/cart. It starts coming out 
foamy, or full of air bubbles. You eject the full syringe back into 
the bottle so you waste little ink, and repeat the sucking out of ink, 
then ejecting into bottle, etc. When the ink gets sucked out with no 
bubbles any longer, MIS contends about ten fills of a 10cc syringe, 
you put the cart back in and away you go.

At least I think that's it, from memory. Check out the site, worth a 
shot anyway.
