Digital BW, The Print

I never could clear my clogged line even after separating it from the
cart. I just got another from MIS. They'll just send you a single tube
and you tape it to the remaining other three. 

Maybe you could do a "roto rooter" job with a piece of fine wire

You should be able to pull enough ink through there to completely
change the ink by the cart and just recycle what you pulled out back
into the bottle.
