Re the MIS 2200 top-fill carts

>I just have not had much problem with them.  - Paul roark

My experience has been like Paul's, extraordinarily good.  I've been
doing a lot of experimenting with UT7 inks and have used 17 or 18
carts over the past few months.  I've had one bad cart and one bad
chip.

As Paul recommends, I always swap before they show empty, usually when
the indicater looks like 10 or 15% remaining.  I have spares ready to
go, so the swap is done as quickly as possible so the cart slot is not
empty very long - just a second or two.  After putting in the new cart
I let it sit for about 5 minutes before using it, to let the ink
settle down into the head (I guess that's what's happening, it makes a
difference).  It gets perfect nozzle checks most of the time, I'd
guess 80% of the time or greater.  I rarely do cleanings any more.

I also recently tried something someone mentioned here last week -
when ready to use the new cart, instead of pressing the ink button, I
turn it off, then back on after a few seconds.  It goes right back to
work without the cleaning cycle - great!

These carts have totally changed my ink life.  I spend less money,
mutter fewer naughty words, and am more productive. They're great.
