Mis should send you new carts if it was their mistake! There 
really is no way to clean the carts as the sponge in each 
chamber holds lots of ink. I recently changed the my 
Generation's 3 yellow to Generation's 4 yellow. I took about 60 
sheets of an 8x10 purge image to get the old yellow out and then 
I'm not sure if I got it all.

Don't waste your time - Mis should supply new carts for you.

Best,

John V.
