Re: ARGH! MIS eboni ink problems....anyone?

2009-10-02 by paulmwhiting

I have one of their newer carts for my R220 but I believe those are the same physically as those for the R1800 ... only the chip is different. I noticed it was shorter and yes it did have a plug in the air intake port. But the plug has a small hold down the middle so I didn't worry about it. Of course I have MIS cleaning fluid so I have no way of telling if the fluid is flowing. But I can see the level has gone down so it _must_ be flowing.

Also, when installed it doesn't have quite the reassuring "click" as the old ones but it seems to fit ok.

Hope this helps,

Paul

My nozzle checks turn up complete paper white for both mk and pk positions. Glop position flowing fine, but as I mentioned, this was an older MIS cartridge.
