Dealing with foaming and siphon breaks in CFS printers
2004-03-30 by jim0266
I've been black only printing with an Epson 1280 and a MIS continuous feed system for the black cartridge. A few days ago I encountered banding problems that cleaning cycles and purge prints would not cure. Eventually I lost all my black nozzles. I followed the troubleshooting guide on the MIS site at http://www.inksupply.com/index.cfm?source=html/cobratrouble.html after suspecting it was a foaming problem. After three days of frustration I'm giving up and just buying a new cartridge. For those running a continuous feed systesm how often do you have to deal with foam buildup that requires bleeding your cart(s) or siphon breaks? -Jim
