>>I'm stumped, and I'm looking for help.

>>On Friday night I installed a NoMoreCarts.com CIS in one of my 1160
>>printers. I
>>fitted a new pair of empty NoMoreCarts cartridges to a pre-used (but
>>clean) set
>>of tubes, charged the system with ink (Generations 4 colour ink, but
>>I hope that
>>doesn't rule my call for help inadmissible here), and installed it in the
>>printer.
>>
>>This particular printer had been operating correctly with Epson carts. Nothing
>>abnormal happened during the vacuum filling operation.
>>
>>I got a good check from the black nozzles, but only a few spurts of colour. I
>>did a few cleaning cycles, still no good, so I went to bed.
>>
>>On Saturday morning I tried another nozzle check. K good, Y fair, M and C
>>missing. More cleaning cycles. More waiting. Still no good. I
>>removed the colour
>>cart and used a bare syringe to suck ink from each port, then
>>refitted the cart
>>in the printer. More cleaning cycles, but M and C still missing.
>>
>>Today (Sunday) I swapped CISs between my two printers. The other CIS
>>(MIS quads)
>>worked fine in both printers, so I don't think I have a printer problem.
>>
>>During the swap I checked the 'new' CIS out of the printer -- all
>>four inks were
>>dripping out of their ports, so I don't think I have a blockage. I
>>installed the
>>system in the printer that had been printing quads, but still no M or C.
>>
>>Through the day I have tried cleaning cycles and nozzle checks, but no
>>improvement. I don't know what to do next.
>>
>>I am -- how should I put this politely in a multi-national forum? --
>>exasperated.
>>
>>I am open to any suggestions.
