Re: [Digital BW] Re: Black Lines (not banding) on 3000 - HELP

2002-09-28 by Keith Jones

Rick,

I'm almost certain that it is a printer/mechanical issue as this same 
printer has exhibited the lines from two different Macs. One was a G4 
desktop running OS9.1 and PS6 the other a G3 powerbook running OS9.2 
and both PS6 and PS7. The only consistency was the printer itself and 
the Epson USB to Parallel cable.

I was able to lessen the occurrence of the lines with several 
cleaning cycles. But after one 6"x6" print with no lines they have 
returned. I'm running the original Piezo inks so I'm not absolutely 
sure which jet is causing the problem.

I'm planning on ordering a service manual but does anyone have 
recomendations for a service center in the Washington, DC area?
