Digital BW, The Print

Well, I have had several problems with my C86/EZN setup, especially with ink spill. Large 
wet drops all over the print. MIS told me not only to use the rubber plug to close the top 
holes of the carts but to seal them with hot melting glue as well. I havent tried so yet, but 
used a piece of tape instead to seal them. The problem [almost] disapeared, but I have 
seen a few drops after that. I have had the same problem with three C86 printers, all 
brand new.
I have also tried with several new cartridges and have not been able to totally eliminate the 
problem so far. It's a shame, because the print quality from this simple and very cheap 
setup is very good. I must say that I also have a C86 printer loaded with MIS durabrite 
equivalent inks in the same type of carts, and have never had any problems with inks spill 
with color inks.
