RE: [Digital BW] Dealing with foaming and siphon breaks in CFS printers

2004-03-30 by Jake Hellbach

I've used a MIS system in my 1270 for about 4 months and just 2 weeks ago I
had a foam problem in the black cartridge. I used the troubleshooting from
MIS's website and the problem was solved.

  I've been black only printing with an Epson 1280 and a MIS continuous
  feed system for the black cartridge. A few days ago I encountered
  banding problems that cleaning cycles and purge prints would not cure.
  Eventually I lost all my black nozzles. I followed the troubleshooting
  guide on the MIS site at
  http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/cobratrouble.html after
  suspecting it was a foaming problem. After three days of frustration
  I'm giving up and just buying a new cartridge.

  For those running a continuous feed systesm how often do you have to
  deal with foam buildup that requires bleeding your cart(s) or siphon
  breaks?
