Digital BW, The Print

Chris, I had the exact same problem. It appeared in my case to be a case 
of the cartridges not holding
a vacuum, and a bad pump. I got another set of carts, and used an old 
model vacuum pump, and everything
was fine. I didn't use eboni ink again, I went back to my old favorite, 
Enhanced Gen 4.
