Re: [Digital BW] Please help, my new MIS CFS... a question

Air in the lines, generally, is no big deal. The tubes are very small and
hold a tiny volume. The air should travel into the cart with use (some air
in the cart is beneficial).

However, if the air does not move, & keeps getting larger, then you might
have a leak. MIS is good about replacing defective carts.

I would run several purge sheets to move the air into the carts & watch to
see if it returns.

Oh, and one more thing - it generally takes a couple days for the sytem to
stabilize, so I would wait at least that long before panic set in... The air
you see now could be a byproduct of that stabilizing period.

Barry, thanks a ton for the quick response.  I'm printing some more 
and the inks are all moving.  :-)  I'm SOOOOO happy I did this!!!  I 
finished off my last Piezotone Cart with a couple of prints so I 
could compare.  The MIS prints are better!  I'm really a happy fella 
right now.  Thanks for the response.
