Digital BW, The Print

Soren, I had EXACTLY the same problem with Eboni black ink. I threw it
away and went back to Enhanced black.

Now, I can't get the inks to load in my new CIS system. In 3 of the
chambers, no ink goes into them at all. I've just about had it with CIS
systems. I've spent thousands of dollars on inks, CIS systems, and have
precious little to show for it all. Only a couple times did the CIS
systems work really well, and both those were on an 1160 printer, when
they lasted over 6 months without hassles.  I do have a Generations 4
color inkset on a 1280 that is working just fine, but on the black only
CIS systems, nothing but problems, usually bad vacuum, banding, stripes,
clogs, etc. I think I'm extremely close now to just throwing in the
towel and waiting for a professional printer that is actually MADE for
black and white printing.  I don't need a second 1280 for epson color
inks, so will probably try to sell it.
Using the original epson cartridges, There's no problems at all.

I'm currently a very disgruntled CIS user, having had 3 bad ones in a
row now.  However the current one isn't even hooked up to a printer yet,
and I can't get the carts full of ink.
