Does the Epson Status Monitor show ink in the carts? You might try putting
back the Epson carts, to see if they still work. If they do then you
probably really do have bad MIS carts. If you can't get any ink out of them
either, then it's possible the heads went clogged (or some other malfunction
occurred) just at the point where you changed inks.
