Digital BW, The Print

I used the

"10 cc Terumo Plastic Syringe"

fitted with the

"MIS Bottom Fill Adapter"

found at

http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/accessory.html

The adapter is inserted into the bottom exit port of the problem cart in the
CIS/CFS. There is a rubber seal in the cart which will help form a vaccuum
when pulling on the syringe plunger. If all is well ink flows freely into
the syringe through the CIS/CFS tubing & cart.

Good luck, Igor.

I just put the syringe without needle on each chamber of the printhead
and squirted about 30 cc's ammonia water through. Be sure you have a
paper towel under the printhead, as a lot of it will be spilled, but
much will also get through. This, plus the cleaning of the bottom of the
printheads has always worked, unless your print head is dead.  Did you
get the email where I mentioned where you could still get the original
piezo inks if you want them?

The MIS black will dry out inside the tubing of a CFS until it forms a solid
plug. These systems can't sit unused for very long. I try to print at least
once a week.

I've had these clogs while using my printer nearly every day!

Bob at MIS said it only seemed to be more of a problem in Arizona and 
New Mexico (I live in AZ).
