Digital BW, The Print

Kelly,

Go to MIS website and look up the new spongeless carts for the 1280. 
I was having the same trouble as you, but when changed to the new 
carts; all that clogging went away. I really think it was foam 
buildup in the sponge. The new ones are filled from the top with a 
syringe and needle and then sealed with stoppers. Witha bottom 
adapter, draw just enough to start the ink flow and you put them in 
the printer and if you check your nozzles with the nozzle check 
you'll be pleasantly surpised to see all of them fire. You are ready 
for a print almost right away after filling.

Your friend in Photography,

Johnny
