Digital BW, The Print

Well, I have been using the cart for a while with no problems.  I ran 
a number of purge patterns and get the right colors, but several are 
badly banded.  I will let the second windex application soak until 
this evening and try again.  I am still unsure of what to do next if 
that does not work.

Thanks.

Steve
