Digital BW, The Print

If the VM black ink is clogging in the tube, it's likely that the co-solvent
base is partially responsible.  Switch to the Eboni black.

Subject: [Digital BW] Clogging of Tube with MIS Hextone VM CIS


I have been using the MIS Hexton VM system for a about a
year...averaging printing about once to twice a wekk. I do not get
print head clogs at all. I consistently get a significant clog in
the tube that feeds from the darkest black ink. I removed this block
twice so far and it has returned again. The other inks have never
clogged.

I have not seen clogging in tube addressed in my search of the
archives.

Cleaning the clog is messy and a pain n the butt. I would like to
solve it if possible.

Is it the nature of this ink? A tube/ink reaction if it sits in the
tube for a week or so? Humidity? Bad batch?

Any experience and advice in this regard would be appreciated.

Cheers,

Murray

I used this printer for the black and white component of my digital
imaging and photography couse, so reliability is essential.
