Printer will not print unless manually clean heads?

I just bought new ink from one of the no-name universal ink people. Installed both new cartridges. Performed the clean head and align functions. They both worked perfectly. Tried to print about 5 minutes later- nothing. Tried clean head again, nothing. Removed the cartridges, manually cleaned interior of the cartridge cradle with alcohol, reinstalled cartridges, and presto! It printed perfectly. 5 minutes later, I tried to print again, next item. NOTHING!!!!! I can print if I manually clean the cradle, and if printing is continuous, it works great. If I leave printer idle for more than 1 minute, I must again manually clean the cradle. Any thoughts, other than to toss the new cartridges? Thanks!

    Toss the cartridges, those fill your cartridge places are crap.
