Digital BW, The Print

I am having a similar problem. I just installed the ultratones in my 
1200 and am getting good nozzle checks on all but the black cart. I 
have run cleaning cycle after cycle and still the same thing. Could 
someone explain how the "windex cleaning" is done. By the way, the 
ink that I replaced was MIS original hextones. I don't believe they 
were dyes.
Thanks in advance
