I put the OEM epson carts back in my 1280 and got a perfect nozzle check right away. So this would indicate to me it is not a printer problem, and since most of us have been using the MIS inks for years without any major problems, it's probably not an ink problem, unless we got a bad batch of ink. (IF WE DID get a bad batch of ink, how would we ever know it?) Its Probably the cartridges. I wish I understood exactly how cartridges worked, how they absorb ink, and the rules that have to be followed in order for them to work properly. I'd cut one open, except they're too expensive to do that. The last CIS unit that I had loaded exactly as it should have, but there was nothing but clogging. There was no air in the tubes at all that I could see. I even drew 30 cc's of ink through the bottom of the cartridges, so they should have been thoroughly soaked with ink. Still nothing but clogs. And several people have reported that there's nothing wrong with the Eboni ink. Could it be that MIS changed their ink formulas enough that it would no longer be compatible with Epson brand inks? If that were the case, it could explain a lot! I think a new technology would be nice. Something other than inkjet. Just think of all the money we have wasted with banding and clogging problems over the years. Jerry Alessandro Pardi wrote: > > Sigh! I just need new ink and now I'm stuck...
