So yes this morning the Cyan cart is again flowing.  My theory is that
after making six 10x7 Carbon toned prints the supply of the Cyan
position cart was dry.  So I had a Cyan cart, 80% full and yet no ink
flow to print with.

UT7 users know that when you go for a Carbon tone and add the Carbon
curve that it seems like 90% of what you see on screen goes Cyan.  So
there you go.  Not enough supply for demand.

Why?  That is the question.  Does the 2200 use vacuum to pull inl? If
so I have a leak of that vacuum.  If it is where the cart seals to the
printer it may be dirty. What should I clean it with? Windex?  MIS fluid?

MIS tech support has been really lacking.  You guys have my ideas than
they do.  I wish that weren't so.
