Digital BW, The Print

Eddie and Paul,

Thank you very much for the help!

I did a little more research on MIS's website after I posted this and managed to dig up 
some more information. Stupid me, I needed to pull-out the plug from the air vent! You 
guys were right. Pretty simple fix. It would be nice if MIS created a simple how-to for 
complete novices like myself.

I'm up and running and everything is working perfectly. I made some excellent first prints 
so far and looking forward to fine tuning the process. Thanks again!!!

Kevin

by using a small syringe with a bottom fill adaptor attached, and suck out approximately 
1ml of ink from each problem cartridge..This priming also should have been done before 
your install, but you can do it now as well..make sure to thouroughly rinse out the syringe 
and purge it to near dry in between colors..My settup is working like a charm.., especiall 
more trouble-free than my 1280 with UT-2 INKS which gave me GREAT results, but with 
printer killing clogging issues..
