Digital BW, The Print

I bought my 128o about 3 weeks ago.  Midway through the original
cartridges it developed a clog in the black head.  No amount of cleaning
cycles would clean it.  I planned on cleaning it with ammonia and a
syringe, and took the cartridge out, then chickened out and just put the
cartridge back in.  It was fine after that.  So I ordered the MIS VM set
to try them ($60.00), and soon after installing them the clog came back.
Again, no amount of cleanings will touch it.  So again, I took the
cartridge out and this time I went through with the ammonia cleaning,
put the cartridge back in.  Still clogged.  Tried 5 more cleanings.
Still clogged.  Now the cartridges are about 2/3 gone and I have no idea
what to do next.

I realize this is no help to you, other then letting you know that I'm
going through the same thing as you right now, and in my case, I can't
blame it on the MIS inks.  I think this is an Epson problem.

Thanks,
Ed
