Digital BW, The Print

Daniel:

Before you pay to have the printhead replaced, are you sure your 
printhead is spotless clean, especially on the underside?  If there 
is any buildup it can cause problems (think of a partially clogged 
shower head spraying in several directions).  Check the archieves for 
the "wet paper towel cleaning method". If all else fails AND you are 
ready to have the printhead replaced, you can try the "cleaning 
solution injection through the printhead" procedure.  Again check the 
archives -- it can't hurt if it is the last resort.
