question about CFS systems

2005-10-05 by Frank Kolwicz

Bill,

I've been using a Niagara III since it first came out (a few 
months prior to MIS's system, which I would have used, 
except for the unfortuante delay) and have been satisfied 
with it. The one problem I've had is, I think, not related 
to the CFS, but to one of the carts which routinely requires 
a couple of cleaning cycles to get it going after even a few 
days lay-off (the other carts can be out of service for a 
month and give a perfect nozzle check on startup). Once it 
starts I can print all I want, it's only the startup that's 
a hassle, but it's not enough of a hassle to change to the 
new cart I got for it.

I even rigged an additional tube to allow switching MK and 
PK, but it requires the time and effort to un-tape the old 
cart and re-tape the new one so the whole array of tubes 
continues to function without getting caught in the 
carriage; that takes about 10 minutes and I mostly use matte 
paper, so I seldom switch.
