Re: Yet another 1280 "clog" question...

Eric:  I have been using Media Street's CIS for a couple of years 
and occasionally encounter what you describe.  I have had 
considerable success in withdrawing ink from each colour until the 
foaming disappears.  It is important to plug the ports that you 
aren't working on or air will get back in to the cart.  Once the ink 
is withdrawn then seal the tube (Media Street provides clips on the 
tubing to do this and proceed to the next colour.  

If I leave my printer set for a period of time the inks withdraw 
towards the bottles and I use the same procedure at this time.

I also discovered that over time the carts do wear out and clogs 
occur because of a "gooping up" of the sponges.  So every year I 
replace the CIS carts with new ones.

Good luck.  If you need to know the swear words that work best let 
me know.

Regards

Bill
