Re: Inspired by 1280 clogging thread; a year of pigment printing

Nick: I'm having luck just filling the carts, pulling the slightest
amount out with a bottom fill adapter and putting them in the printer.
Usually perfect nozzle checks right out of the gate. I think it's the
priming that does it. Since there's no sponge, nothing to let settle.
It's more like ink in a bottle. 

Of course we all know what happens when the world seems too perfect.
