Re: Need help with OPM

2003-06-01 by Antonis Ricos

Diana,

haven't seen that one in my tests. Sometimes a simple nozzle check is not 
enough to show what happens. 

Try to print a grayscale with a black only profile and compare to a black-only 
print from Photoshop.

Use the Epson Utility to see how much ink there is in the cart (is it on its last 
legs?)

The latest OPM beta is 1.02b dated 4/9/03  5:52pm. If you don't have it, please 
ask Bowhaus to let you try it as a possible fix.

Sorry to hear of these wows - I know it's frustrating when you are trying to 
actually make prints and not just testing!
