Hello printers, I got the new Inkset from MIS 2 days ago, I loaded it to virgin catridges. I used the cleaning catridges and purged the Epson-inks until it vanished from the paper,... oboy did that took long time!! I used 75 A3 sized plain paper to finish it off, and then used the backside to get in the new UltraTone (all together 150 A3's) this tubeees is collecting alot of inks. Anyway everything looks fine after a 8-10 cleaningcycles and purgepattern printings.....but there is some concerns about the black eboni, and it troubles me. It cloggs!! I've done a fair amount of cleaning even with the printer software (ADJ: Clean head from the servicemanual). All inks prints perfect except for the Eboni, when printing the purgepattern it print well for the first 1/4 and then it starts with banding (white stripes), next I do another testprint and it shows a different result now with much less white stripes and only on the edges of the black pattern. OK hold on... I do another testprint as it goes in the right direction...well nooo good it got worse again, I also did a nozzle check and find a bad one so I went for one more cleaning (11th), nozzle check perfect again!!... New testprint to go (I'm glad I got the pintsize bottles)the first 1/5-4 prints beautiful (black pattern) and then the stripes comes back again and it is confirmed with nozzel check, another clogg. I'm asking if anyone have any idea to get past this point. It seems like I need a couple of cleaningcycles during a printingsession, print part of the image do cleaning and continue print next part of the image. It seems like the nozzles only can hold clear for a few minutes, I should say seconds during printing until it cloggs. Would the 7000 driver be better could it help?(Paul use 7000 driver I guess for his 7500) As I'm using the 7500 driver. Advices would be greatful. Regards Soren
