Re: [Digital BW] Nozzle Clogs on 1280 With MIS VM Cartridges

2003-03-05 by Tom Husband

Hi Ed,

My clog isn't life threatening yet like yours although it does seem 
to be getting worse.  The clogs show up in all the cartridges but the 
black one is consistent.  I can clear it eventually but I hate the 
waste in ink.  If it is the printer will Epson honor the warrantee 
even if it's someone else's ink?  I've heard both yay and nay on 
this. 

Beautiful images on your site by the way!

Tom
