QTR-Quadtone RIP

I ran the nozzle check and the Cyan and Magenta are totally clogged and  
the light Black and Yellow are partially clogged. I ran one cleaning cycle  
and it helped a little on the ones that were partially clogged but I still  
got nothing on the other two. I just don't want to waste a lot of ink  
trying to clean them out. I figured cleaning cartridges are cheaper and  
probably more effective in cleaning them. I just found the SSC site and  
downloaded the program. I'll give that a try.
Thanks,
Steve
