Re:MIS ink problems...clogs or bubbles?

I have also switched to the K4 inks and spongeless carts. My 
experience is that i often need to run several cleaning cycles after 
filling. The LM seems to be the worst culprit (FWIW, it was also LM 
that would never clear in a prior 1280). However, once it has 
"taken," I've not had any clogs to speak of. I suspect that the 30 
minutes or so that it takes to fill and reset the carts may allow some 
ink to dry on the heads (I usually do all at the carts at once), so I 
may experiment by putting an OEM cart in place while i fill the MIS 
carts. 

Hope this helps.
