QTR-Quadtone RIP

Are you sure you need a cleaning cart? I've had a 2200 for 3 years and an 1160 for more than 5 years, I also don't print for weeks or months at at time and normal cleaning cycles and purges have almost always restored full nozzle checks, except when I've had to remove foam from a cart which is not done with a cleaning cart, but by sucking ink through the cart with a syringe and MIS bottom adapter.

I do recommend the "SSC Service Utility" for cleaning in lieu of Epsons's process as it lets you do a full-power cleaning immediately without going through cycles in sets of 3. The SSC Service Utility is not too awful intuitive to use as the GUI only shows part of the processes available - you have to open the list of processes from the task bar to see the most important ones.

PS: glad to hear that you got it going.

Subject: Re: Problems printing to a 2200

Now the next questions are, and I also asked these on the B&W forum,   
should
I use the MIS cleaning cartridges or get the empty MIS cartridges and fill
them with Windex to clean the heads? What is the feeling about B&W ink  
sets? I am considering
either the MIS UT7 or Jon Cone's Neutral K7? Any suggestions? I don't
print high volume and sometimes I don't print anything for several weeks.
Thanks,
Steve
