Digital BW, The Print

This eventually happens with all pigment inks systems regardless of paper
choice.  I'd be very careful about inferring that printing on a particular
paper killed a printer.  Regular maintenance is a necessary part of quad
printing...but printers have a limited life span...my guess is that many of
us are printing on borrowed time.  I recently had three printers go down in
one week.  That said, the person that I know that does regular (at least
monthly) maintenance has a 1160 that has been printing quads (with Cone
inks) through a CIS non-stop for 1.5 years...a lot of prints.
