Digital BW, The Print

Same experience, Lon.  My MIS CFS has been in the landfill for some time
now.  Their instructions are very clear that you must print continually for
it to work, but I didn't believe it at some level.  First the black clogged,
then finally I couldn't get other nozzles to work, despite head cleanings,
Windex, and all that.  I was going a week or two sometimes between printing.
Excellent results, but for me it has to be individual cartridges.

Subject: [Digital BW] MIS FS Sludge


I have an Epson 1160 running the MIS Full Spectrum inkset with a CIS
bulk ink supply.  It has basically been trouble free for a couple of
years, until today.

I decided to do a few prints.  Since I had not used the printer for a
bit I decided to do a few head cleanings and a nozzle check before I
started printing.  Nothing out of the black head (all other heads
fine).

I did a few more cleaning cycles then parked the head on Windex
saturated the shut down sponges overnight.  The next day still
nothing from the black head.

I removed the supply line from the black head and attempted to push
the ink in the line back into the supply bottle with a syringe.  The
line is plugged.  I worked with the line a bit and it seems to be
full of a vicious sludge like material.  I still do not have the line
clear.

An interesting side note; I have a friend running the same setup and
he recently reported the exact same problem.

Any other elist members with this problem?  Any proven remedies?

Enjoy!   Lon
