I recently bought a set of MIS inks & cartridges for the Epson 2200 
(using the Eboni matte black).  When the black Epson cartridge hit 
empty I filled the MIS cart per instructions (& reset the chip) and put 
it into the 2200.  No success; the red light still shows that cartridge 
position empty.  Took it out - primed it again - reset chip again but 
without success.  Checked that the printer screen shows the Matte Black 
option hightlighted - it does.  Has anyone had this problem?  Is this 
just a faulty cartridge?  I haven't yet tried any of the other MIS 
cartridges in the 2200 and now wonder if I should just stick with the 
Epson carts (put in a new Epson black cart and it's working fine).  
Thanks,  Edward

Thanks for your suggestions, Paul & Walt.  I've never had a chip off a 
cartridge so think of the two as one unit.  But no doubt the problem is 
with the chip and not the cartridge; unfortunately I threw out the 
previous epson black-ink cart; but I'll see if I can get the chip off 
the current one when it runs out of ink.  Thanks again, and thank you 
Paul for your postings regarding the C86 with MIS inks.  I've been 
using it with good results until recently -  a banding problem which 
I'm sure I'll be able to resolve.  Edward--- In
