Digital BW, The Print

Harry, you're not the only one wondering.
Right now I have 3 printers desktops  that refuse to recognize MIS  carts. 
This problem has been dragging on since May, when I replaced the  chips,  and 
tried changing from the CIS system to filled carts  for  the EZ b&w inks on a 
C86.  Now I have bottles of EZ and their  carts  plus pre-filled carts that are 
useless.The color carts in  the R220 are useless too. The printers do 
recognize Epson carts.Tech help by  e-mail since May has been awful - and I gave up  
in frustration for lack of  time. The SK  188 chip re-setter stopped working  
and - yes I put  in new batteries. 
 From the time   UT 7 inks were introduced for the 7600,  (about 4 years 
ago?) I've had NO problem using the CFS system  until now. (The clogs were always 
cleared up using the windex treatment and as a  last resort, a couple of  KK2 
cleanings). The inks and the curves set up by  Paul Roark worked perfectly.  
Phone tech is helpful if you ask for  Mark and he's been very accommodating in 
talking to my tech guy, but  I'm spending a fortune on new carts, fresh ink,  
and overnight  shipping, trying one thing after another to figure out why the 
#5 Lt  Cyan nozzle won't work.  My tech guy has taken everything apart,  
replaced dampers  & the nozzle is still not firing. At this  point we don't know if 
it's the ink or the printer. But MIS is now very  frustrating to work with, 
whereas in the past they were a joy. I already have so  much invested in their 
inks for my 5 printers, and I've never used any  other inks, so  it's scary to 
think of switching - and to  what?   
                                Arlene
