Digital BW, The Print

This is more a 1280 problem than the fault of spongless carts. A 
year or two back when the 1280 was the newest machine in use, there 
was an endless string of 'clogs from hell' being reported. I finally 
gave up and put dyes back in mine. When I switched to the spongless 
carts, I had no trouble whatsoever-until I put Eboni in the K 
position, whereupon it clogged up in a matter of 2-3 prints. Let's 
face it, the 1280 was made for dyes-we've been lucky to be able to 
use it at all with pigments.
