Digital BW, The Print

I have just installed a full set of MIS spongeless carts on my 2400 
printer.  The lid covering the cartridges does not seat securely 
causing it to pop up and bump into the right side of the printer when 
the head moves back and forth.  This in turn causes a red light to come 
on for one or more of the installed MIS carts.  I can reset, get a 
green light and the printer seems normal until the head moves, lid pops 
and hits the printer on the return to the right side. This is the first 
time I have used MIS carts on this printer but have been very 
successful in their use on several others.

No word yet from MIS on the problem.  Has anyone experienced this?  Is 
there a work-around, trimming of the carts, anything??  I would not 
like to have to go out and buy another set of OEM carts.

Thanks, any and all help.

Had the same problem, I fixed it with a 5cm long strip of adhesive tape. 
I placed it on the left side of the lid. The tape is stong enough to 
keep the lid closed.

Hello Barbara:

I experienced this myself just recently. The top of the cart cage just
would not latch on the R2400 after converting to MIS carts. I applied
some additional pressure on each cart on the latch side (the nozzle
side) and then pressed down on the latch cover, at the latch point, with
some pressure and got it to latch. I agree this was a tight fit. I hope
after a few refills the carts get "worked in" a bit to make this easier.

Thanks, Lou.  I, too applied some additional pressure.  My outcome 
was different. The latch popped out allowing the lid to close without 
pressure on the carts.  The latch isn't exactly broken, just free 
standing, as it were.  Printer seems to be working ok but time will 
tell.

I have recently started to use the MIS UTFSN inks in my old Epson 1270.  So
far I have been pleasantly surprised by the results using the Epson Drivers.
I am curious if anyone out there has any experience using this ink and
printer combination with the Quadtone Rip.   I still do most of my work in
the darkroom but as my favorite papers dissappear am in interested in
getting up to speed on the Digital BW workflow.

Thanks, Michael.  I have added tape to my inadvertant solution.

I solved my problem by snipping off the very tip edge of the lever on 
the chipside of the cart that is at the very top leading edge when 
inserted fully. This allowed the cover to close and fasten securely.

THis also happens when using MIS spongeless cartridges in an R1800.
Solution: snip 1/16" off the top of the plastic spring latch. A
scissors will work just fine.

I have been in fear of breaking the cover since the first cartridge 
swap out.  (I did a changeover as each Epson cart ran out.)

The cover is REALLY tight to try to latch. I called MIS last week but 
they acted as if they hadn't heard of this. In fact, they had no trim 
suggestion--I'll try yours.  The only answer they had was to remove the 
cover since they do that with a CIS.
