I recently installed a Niagara III CIS and MIS Ultra-Tones on my daughter's 1160 which had been running the MIS VM inkset. A nozzle check and two cleanings had it ready to go. She has since had only one episode of clogging which happened suddenly in the middle of making a series of prints and seemed to block nearly nozzle. It took several head cleanings to clear. I just installed a Niagara III CIS and Ultra-Tones on my 1160 which had also been running MIS VM and printing perfectly for several months. On the first nozzle check of my 1160 with Ultra-Tones nearly every nozzle must have been blocked. I have done about 25 cleanings and one 30 minute Windex soak which improved the pattern somewhat. I am now in the process of an overnight head soak with Windex. Has the switch to Ultra-Tones from VM been a problem for anyone else? It makes me wonder if there was trash in the CIS system prior to installing the ink. Bill _____________________________ Checked by Norton Antivirus 8
