Digital BW, The Print

Luke,

I second Mark on the cleaning issue. Sticking in a set of OEM Epson carts is
always my first choice in clearing up a clog that resists standard nozzle
cleaning cycles. It also eliminates the printer as the problem.

I have had some problem grayscale carts in the past. If the printer works
fine with the Epson carts installed, then contact MIS and see if you can get
them to replace the carts you have.
