Digital BW, The Print

thanks for all the pointers folks.

I have sucked the nozzle with the fat syringe and gottten the black 
ink flow.

I have also tried epson carts with great success - printed the 4 col 
purge pattern properly. And also the regular test pattern.

But when I reconnect the quadtone inkset - back to same problem.

From what you've said it could be dry ink in the tubes ? But then why 
the flow when I pulled it through with a syringe ?
