Hi Jeff:

 

I have used the Cone Carbon in the 1430 using the Cone carts without any issues at all.  I have also used the MIS Carbon inks in the Ink Jet carts without issues.  The 1430 is a great printer for matte prints and judging from comments on various threads carts from both sources have worked well in the past.

 

Although unlikely, is it at all possible that you made some inadvertent mistakes when using and filling the carts, i.e., air bubbles in the carts, vent plug removed, etc., etc.

 

Perhaps it is reasonable to consider having new carts sent from the USA?  Is the cost prohibitive?

 

I hope that you get up and running….

 

Elliot

Apologies for butting into this thread but I'm fascinated to hear how to get a 1430 to work. I recently bought a new Australian model1430. I used two Australian sourced sets, one rechipped Inkjet mall set and a HK set. None of them worked. I had air leaks, and ink leaking from carts. In the end, I abandoned the exercise concluding that Cone inks and a new 1430 just weren't meant to be.

 

Have I missed something? This was a new 1430 which worked perfectly with Espon carts.
