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

2003-03-05 by Jeffrey Fass

My black cart with a CIS clogs sooner than the others too. Something beyond the cart itself?

  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
