Digital BW, The Print

Hi Tom,

Both.   

How much RAM have you on your computer?  I have  a GIG and it is not too much.

I give Photoshop 750,000 Megabytes

I have increased the epson monitor 3 application by 3 times the
recommended amount.

This is only one reason why this could be happening, especially if you
are really short on memory. Memory is unbelieveably cheap right now, go
get some!

However, I can't see memory problems causing print quality decline. And
you wouldn't think that cleaning it would have anything to do with it
spitting out the print before it was finished. And how could you get
total clogging so fast?  

However, as a last resort, this usually works for cleaning:  Squirt
about 5ml ammonia/water solution (1:9) directly into the nipples of the
print head.  Do a few cleanings and see if it does the trick. It may
take 2 or 3 times to get all the clogged up ink dissolved, it took 2
applications for me, but it DID work.
