So it sounds like I need to buy some loader stuff.

So is the bottom or top loader thing you mention available?  Where?
MIS or do I need a syringe?  

MIS tech suggested an ink flow problem.  Check vent holes, did that. 
On the Piezo site in their FAQ they mention keeping the ink pad clean
and tell you how to clean it so the heads stay moist when parked, did
that too.

Ink feed makes sense but on every cart? Every time? 

While doing all this ink wasting trying to get a clean check for all 7
carts the yellow went low last night.  Guess what. I installed a new
one and got a nearly clear check from that cart.  By this morning I
have a 90% complete yellow cart check BUT all the others are good.

How will it work later?  It is 5:49 am.  Will I have 7 good checks at
5:49 pm?  I don't even know.

Thanks Paul

Neil
