What are the consequences of getting air inside the print head(s)? A 
blocking of ink flow obviously but would that be a fatal situation 
requiring Epson service?

How does one detect sludging of the feeder line? And how do you 
recommend clearing it?

And as Jerry Olson pointed out the MIS rivets don't provide a 100% 
seal. What do you use?

Thanks very much for your help.
