* A friend who has the system advised me to get a refurbished

* decent b/w from my Canon S9000.

* The system hasn't worked right from the start.  Only 1 or 2 good 
* prints (and they probably could be even better).  NOzzle checks have 
* voids all over the place most of the time.  Numerous head cleanings 
* don't help.

Isabel,

Something is drastically wrong with your ink feed. As Eddie suggested it
might be that the ink level is too high in relation to the print heads so
follow his suggestion.

There are also many good suggestions on cleaning the nozzles (ever last one
must be firing perfectly to get a good print) on the Inkjetmall site:

You did not mention which inks you are using which can make a difference.
