1280 UT2 -- replaced color cart and ink not flowing correctly

1280 UT2 -- replaced color cart and ink not flowing correctly

2005-07-22 by Ben Rosengart

Hi folks,

  I just replaced the UT2 color cartridge in my 1280.  Also, my gf moved
the printer, and might have accidentally given it a knock or something.
Here's an example of how a print looks (I stopped it halfway through):

The black splotches on the right are puddles of ink.

Please advise.  Thanks in advance.

Ben,
	Is your nozzle check good?
	You did take the tape off the top of the cart, right?  I forgot to do 
that once, and it took 3 days of intermittent cleaning and nozzle checks 
to get rid of those giant black splotches.
