Digital BW, The Print

Barbara,

Before replacing your heads, have you tried running the Epson ink through
them?  This always worked me.  I'd load the carts and run them for a week or
so to clean everything out.  Seemed to me that leaving them in for a while
worked better than simply running a lot of ink thru them quickly.  I'd then
purge with a cleaning cart and load the MIS-FN.  This may not always be
necessary once you get things going.  I developed banding and clogging with
the original Piezo ink, used the technique described above and then switched
to MIS-FN for quite  a while.  When the Piezotones came out I tried them,
developed banding after the second cart, ran a cleaning cart cycle and
replaced with MIS-FN again.  Still working fine.
