Re: [Digital BW] changing cartridges

2003-07-25 by Richard Vanek

Hello,

I like to thank all of you for help, esspecialy to Paul.

I succesfully cleaned parking pads today and installed my first MIS 
UT filled cartridges. I would like to share with you my findings:

1. Cleaning of parking pads with paper tower, was easy. First was 
just placing paper towel on pads to soak as much ink as it could. 
Than by siringe with litle hose on syringe I put few drops of warm 
water. Than soak with paper towel this. Than parking pad was turning 
to white grey color as more and more black ink was soak to towel. At 
the end towel didn't take almost any color.

2. Than I was afraid that when I take rivets out, ink will start 
leaking. So I put tape all over top of the cartridge, to close all 
wents to limit air comming in. I believe it helps. When I took off 
rivets (that was pretty difficult to do, underpressure I guess), I 
placed cartridge in printer and before closing down the cartridge 
holder I took off the tape. I didn't get a drop out, at least I 
didn't see any.

After 3 clean cycles, 4 purge pages and resting for 3 hours I am 
constantly getting perfect nozzle check.

So now I am trying 1280 UT curves and Paul's workflow.

Thank you all of you very much for having this great way of sharing 
information!

I wish you nice prints!
