Digital BW, The Print

What about if you pull the carts to clean the heads will this action also break the vacumm? 

I have an unbelievable clog, worst I have ever seen in four or five years of printing with Epsons, even after soaking the parking pad with cleaner 
and letting it stand overnite the same number of nozzels are still clogged this morning. This is an 1160 btw.

The way this whole problem started, I was getting decresing density in midtones almost to the point of getting posterization. I had not printed 
much of anything in six to eight weeks, thus I assumed that the heads were experiencing some build up. So I thought the heads needed cleaning, 
pull the CIS carts and flushed each port with windex and a siringe. This resulted in nearly every nozzel being clogged, with cleaning cycles I have 
now got about 70 to 75% of nozzels opened. So I thought that I would try cleaning the tubbing and I bought new CIS carts, these are now 
installed but no improvements on the clogggs.

Anyone any suggestions?

Thanks,
Mark
