Warning - Spongeless carts and the SSC utility

2005-09-02 by Richard Cooke

Hi Folks,

I don't know if it's just me being very unlucky with a bad batch of
MIS spongeless carts for my 1160 but don't use the SSC utility to do
the cleaning.  I recently changed from a CIS with the MIS FS inks to
the UT1 to try my hand at printing more neutral when I foolishly
clicked on the SSC's cleaning and it ended up sucking ALL of the ink
out of ALL the carts.  Just a warning.

Does anybody have an idea why I wouldn't get a clog (ever) using the
CIS but now with the spongeless carts I can't get all of the black
(Eboni) jets to fire.  I've managed two 5x7 prints in the past 2 weeks
and used up about half of my 4 oz bottles of ink.  Maybe the FS tone
wasn't so bad after all.

Thanks,

Richard (another one)
