Digital BW, The Print

I am working on y stylus 1160 with MS FS neutral, after a relatively 
inactive period with little photo printing with the same ink bottles 
since more than 1y at least. 

Is it too long? I am getting clogged nozzles regulary, a nozzle 
cleaning cycle will purge it again, then after a short while it 
starts again - could it be the ink is become too thick?

thanks in advance, Bernie

I would think MIS would be the one to say, but you can anticipate their
answer.

Consider this: even Epson has a shelf life for their cartridges. Even after
they are open, they recommend use of no longer than six months.

Keep in mind that plastic is not a true solid. Although it happens slowly,
it is permeable. My guess is that they are gelling up just a little.

Hallo Bernhard,
ich habe meinen 1160er mit MIS FS  fast 9 Monate nicht benutzt.
Der schwarze Druck-Kopf ist "completely clogged". Ähnliches ist 
mir vor Monaten auch mit einem 1290er und MIS VM passiert.
Ich wäre an deiner Stelle froh, wenn die nozzles nicht auerhaft 
verstopft sind und würde baldmöglichst die Tinte austauschen..
Gruß
Bernd

Danke, ja, schwarz ist am heikelsten (Zuleitungsschläuche verstopfen 
schnell), ich habe inzwischen die Patronen leergesaugt (Spritze) und 
neue TIntentanks (FS quad) dran gehängt, momentan keine Besserung, 
vielleicht ist zu viel Luft im Druckkopf, ich werde mal etwas warten 
und gegebenenfalls die Endlospatrone auswechseln - obwohls an der 
wohl eher nicht liegt.

Zur Not kauf ich mir einen 1290er, der 1160er ist 
schon "runtergenudelt".

Gruß
Bernhard

Maybe this snippet on return of merchandise policy from the MIS 
website could help:

"Refunds on unused ink and cartridges will be pro rated based on per 
cent of life (24 months) left when received. The calculation of 
percent of life left will be based on the invoice date and the date 
returned goods arrived at MIS."

Cheers,
Andre

Even more to the point, bottles of MIS-FSN I received recently bear 
the mention: "Use before JULY 2005"
