Re: Spongeless Carts, UT2 Ink, 1280 and Clogs

Johnny,
thanks, I solved it myself after working out what was happening and
measuring with respect to an OEM cartridge.  One residual concern was
that part of the cartridge seemed to "catch" on something in the head.
If it was catching on the electrical contacts I was *slightly*
concerned that they could be damaged.  I informed MIS of this and, as
always they are positive and helpful.  The risk is either very small
or zero (depending what was catching on what).
