Digital BW, The Print

Jim Hayes,
Many thanks for your help.  All this week I have been soaking the 1160 print 
head and nothing was happening.  Today I was able to take off the CIS and put 
in Epson inks. On the second cleaning, I had good nozzle checks.  I've 
printed some color images and they look fine with no banding. Because of some 
things going on in my life, I don't want to put another CIS on the machine 
because it could sit idle for 3 or 4 months at a time. And that seems to be 
what caused the problem to begin with.  I am very hopeful that when I put in 
the piezo carts (new version) that I will not have banding problems or bad 
nozzle checks.

So I will order some Piezo carts. I need to print 13  10x10 prints so I 
assume that I will probably print 25 to 35 prints to get the 13.  I'm 
wondering if I need to order 2 sets. 

Again, many thanks. This is the first time I have had to get "inside" the 
1160 and it wasn't as bad as I thought it would be.  In fact I bought the 
set-up from someone else so I didn't even install the CIS. I'll be braver 
next time. 

Oh, one more thing.  There was a black gummy circle around the black 
position.  I used the fantastic and a paper towel to clean and wick up the 
gum.  

Billie---looking forward to some prints with the new Piezo inks.
