Re: clogging with UT3d

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).

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.
