Bruce,

Indeed they are but at this time the problem seems to be limited to the
black ink and certain batches of 1280 carts.

With a CIS I would always replace the cartridge protion of the CIS and flush
the line when changing to a different ink. There are enough difficulties
without dealing with  blends of ink in your system. Keep in mind that the
MIS-FS standard and FS neutral blacks are the same.
