Ah now I got it thank you I hope that will fix it! If the black position will not work cloggfree in the future I will go on use your curves for lenswork-warm on semigloss and gloss with this printer. I relinearized them for two papers (FB and semigloss) and they look absolute fantastic.

To unlock is, push the Ink Change button, let the head move to the left, and pull the electric plug. You'll see a black box with a sponge in it where the head would be resting when not in use. That is the target for the Windex (or alcohol). > > Paul > www.PaulRoark.com > > --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@...m, "luxlebis" <luxlebis@> wrote: > > > > > > > > --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Paul" <roark.paul@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > "luxlebis" <luxlebis@> wrote: > > > > > > > > > > > > ... > > > > > Are the missing line always in the same place?

You might see if you can clean the edges of it. Also, keep the humidity where the printer is high if you can. If you're in a dry or high elevation area, consider a cover over the printer to keep moisture in the machine -- like a sealed bag, possibly with a wet sponge inside (the printer waste tank in the base of the printer ought to do this). If the printer is the type of has covers that close, use them to keep it as sealed as possible when not in use. > > > > > > Good luck with it. > > > > > > Paul > > > www.PaulRoark.com > > > > > Thank you, > > does parking-pad mean you pull the ink-cartriges out and put the windex in there?
