Jim,
You were kind enough to help me when I had air/clogs in the lines of a CIS.  
Took the CIS off and used carts for printing a show with relative few clogs 
before printing.  I am about to be out of the printing business on this 
machine for about 3 months.  From what you are saying it would seem to be a 
good idea to take the Piezotone carts out and put in Epson carts.  Or is it 
just the path that the CIS has to take that is more prone to clogs?  Also, I 
think I have read that with the new Piezotone inks you DO NEED to use flush 
carts because of compatibility issues with the Epson inks.  Has anyone else 
read this or  know it I need to do this or not.  Can I go Piezotone to Epson 
or do I need to go Piezotone/flush/Epson?

Billie
