  Subject: [Digital BW] Clogging on Epson 1200 MIS CFS



  I am using MIS UltraTone CFS system on my Epson Stylus 1200. It 
  worked prefectly fine until 2 days ago when one of the nozzle on the 
  Light Magenta got clogged(a single gap found in the nozzle check 
  pattern). I have never removed the CFS cartridge since I installed 
  it, so I assume there should not be an air get inside the cartridge. 
  I also use the printer almost 5 days a week. I have done so many 
  cleaning cycles(6 cleaning cycles in a row, and again) and purging 
  pattern printings(more than 6 letter size pages), but still can't get 
  that nozzle unclogged(the single gap still apppears in the Light 
  magenta nozzle check pattern). Without that nozzle, I can see lines 
  in the shadow area on the printings.

  Done anyone of you have any idea how to unclog that nozzle without 
  sending it back to Epson for service? I have a perfect nozzle check 
  expect the single gap in the light magenta.

  Thanks

So I'm not the only one using that method.

  I am having a similar problem. I just installed the ultratones in my 
  1200 and am getting good nozzle checks on all but the black cart. I 
  have run cleaning cycle after cycle and still the same thing. Could 
  someone explain how the "windex cleaning" is done. By the way, the 
  ink that I replaced was MIS original hextones. I don't believe they 
  were dyes.
  Thanks in advance
