Hi Ed, My clog isn't life threatening yet like yours although it does seem to be getting worse. The clogs show up in all the cartridges but the black one is consistent. I can clear it eventually but I hate the waste in ink. If it is the printer will Epson honor the warrantee even if it's someone else's ink? I've heard both yay and nay on this. Beautiful images on your site by the way! Tom --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "Ed Mathews" <ed@l...> wrote: > I bought my 128o about 3 weeks ago.
