Digital BW, The Print

Since my original post, I went to MIS' site and followed the  
instructions for introducing an "air break" into the carts. Suddenly,  
two problematic colors started printing fine. But two still have lines  
(indicating a clog, probably) and one doesn't appear at all. I'm  
letting it rest, and if it's still NFG, I'm going to try to flush out  
the offending nozzles by injecting Windex, then doing the de-foaming &  
air-break routine again. Then I'm going to take an icepick to the  
nozzles. Ok, maybe not that last step...

I did put Epson carts in to try to get things back to an unclogged  
state, but they wouldn't unclog, so I took 'em out and did the  
Windex-inject trick. But then I didn't put the Epson carts back in,  
cause I figured they're unsealed and I don't know what effect that has.
