Re: [Digital BW] 3800 clogged all the time

Cool!  http://www.ovimaging.com/inks.html    Everyday is a learning experience for me around here. I just learned about 3MK two years after its release.


So, if the carts pressurize - ok - get some OEM carts and retest the printer. If you are certain its working perfectly - then get some more ink from Tom and have a second go. If you run into the same problem - your feedback with Tom should get you running smoothly.

I would not think that excessive or inadequate humidity is a problem anywhere in the USA at this month - but check your environment to make sure that you're not below 20% humidity which will dry out the heads. We like to stay above 30% and below 55%. Also, clean your capping station. If it can not seal properly, it can introduce air into your print heads...

Didn't you look at my how to maintain your inkjet printer video!!!

take a look it may help:

Most of the practices in that will help you get your 3800 in shape in case you do have a dirty head or capping station.
