Re: [Digital BW] 1160 disaster - can anyone help ?

Sandy,

My CFS has done this since I installed it almost a year ago.  I notice it
happens most when there are large changes in barometric pressure and or
temp.  The carts should be fine.  An air space in the top of the cart is a
good thing anyway - it prevents ink from siphoning from the bottles on it's
own.  Like your photo-cyan. ; )
