Re: [Digital BW] Eboni Ink clogging, worst banding I've ever seen in 7 years of

Hi Bernd!

 I'm just about to try printing and head cleaning again, having let the
printer set for a couple hours 
after siphoning about 30 ccs of Eboni ink through the bottom of the
black cartridge.  If you are having trouble
with the Cyan, it must not be the ink. I can't believe I don't have a
great vaccuum. I've never seen a cartridge fill so fast as I have with
this set. They all filled in less than a half second. 

Keep in touch!  I'm using the same set of VM inks I've always been
using, and never had any trouble with any of them before today! I'll
keep you posted.
