Hi Paul,

I'd like to hear more about what you are seeing with this
2200 cart. Over the last couple of months I've been wrestling 
with a similar-sounding problem in several 2200 carts, 
and it has brought my ability to print to a standstill.
Very frustrating. 

I see a big fat bubble over the output port when I hold the
cart up to the light. Prime it with a syringe, it goes away.
Make a print, and it comes back. It's as if the ink in the 
sponge is trapped.

ps. Please do continue to post your experiences as you try
digital seriously. In January I picked up a used Pentax 67II, 
to complement my LF equipment. Since I shoot mainly TMax 100, 
I'm quite interested in what you are discovering.
