Digital BW, The Print

Still tentative, since I've been running the inks for maybe only six 
weeks. I  have had maybe four minor clogs in all that time. My 1280 
with VM MIS inks would constantly clog within a day or two if not 
exercised by comparison. A large difference.

One day when running about 20-25 prints I got banding suddenly appear 
in middle of print after a perfect nozzle check before hand. It 
cleared after one cleaning cycle but I did have to waste the print. 
And it did it three times during this session. I had left printer off 
for six days prior to this. It could be this, or a bad light K cart, 
or maybe more likely, the 2200 guy at Colorbyte told me the 2200 
sometimes does this and I need to swap it out. Last week it did it 
once again, in the middle of a large print. While I wait for a 
replacement to show up at my store, I continue printing, using a new 
cart to see if I can get it to happen again.

This issue, although it wastes paper/ink, is not a show stopper 
because it happens infrequently. Even with the problem, it is FAR FAR 
more reliable in this climate than my 1280/VM MIS.

Well, that's the tentative notion I have about it at this point in 
time. And time will tell...
