Digital BW, The Print

This is a wild guess, so don't get too hung up on it. Have you done many
many cleaning cycles? I remember reading about someone who needed to send
their printer into Epson cause there is something in there which tracks the
number of cleaning cycles performs, and when it's reservoir is believed to
be filled with expelled ink the printer becomes inconsolable. Wild guess.
