I always keep a set of original Epson carts for my 1280 to use in
cleaning clogs or diagnosing possible CFS problems. I notice MIS has
el cheapo inks carts for $5 and say the ink is like the Epson ink. 

Has anyone tried these $5 MIS carts to see if they work like the
original Epson ones for cleaning subborn clogs? 

I'd just ask Bob Zeiss but I never have time to call during the day
and he admits that he's not too good about answering e-mail.
