Digital BW, The Print

Thanks Jacques.

The ink on the end of the paper might be due to the edge of the paper hitting the print head .  I had similar issues with the 2880.  Jon suggested being certain that the paper was flat before feeding. Hence if there are any doubts I gently straighten the paper by drawing the paper edge over the end of a table .  The ink spots on the edge of the paper are no longer an issue. 

 As part of my printer maintenance I loaded a spare set of carts for the 1430 with the MIS flush solution. Part of my maintenance is periodically running a cleaning cycle with the flush solutions.
