Digital BW, The Print

If you had dye in the printer before the UT ink, the clogging might be
caused by the dye that is left on the pad.  With the 1280 that I converted
from dye to UT, this happened.  Rinsing the pad with Windex and using
Windex-soaked paper towel strips to wipe the head took care of the problem.

Subject: [Digital BW] Clogging on Epson 1200 MIS CFS



I am using MIS UltraTone CFS system on my Epson Stylus 1200. It
worked prefectly fine until 2 days ago when one of the nozzle on the
Light Magenta got clogged(a single gap found in the nozzle check
pattern). I have never removed the CFS cartridge since I installed
it, so I assume there should not be an air get inside the cartridge.
I also use the printer almost 5 days a week. I have done so many
cleaning cycles(6 cleaning cycles in a row, and again) and purging
pattern printings(more than 6 letter size pages), but still can't get
that nozzle unclogged(the single gap still apppears in the Light
magenta nozzle check pattern). Without that nozzle, I can see lines
in the shadow area on the printings.

Done anyone of you have any idea how to unclog that nozzle without
sending it back to Epson for service? I have a perfect nozzle check
expect the single gap in the light magenta.

Thanks
