New CIS System

New CIS System

2002-05-28 by vinyo88

Help, I just installed a new CIS System using the MIS VM ink. 
Everything worked except the black. Getting almost nothing, small 1/4 
in line on bottom. Tried 3 cleaning cycles, let it sit several hours 
and finally let it sit onernight, same results. Anubody have any 
other ideas for me?

Suck a 100cc of ink through the black cart with a syringne and let it 
sit over night. Then print the 4 color purge patern to verify inkflow.

It's a PITA but eventually it will flow correctly.

Oh yes, one other thing. I assume that the printer was working 
properly with Epson carts before the change over?

If not you may need to clean the print head with some ammonia.

I will give that a try, but where can I find the purge pattern? and 
yes I did a nozzle check before I started the installation and it was 
ok.
