Digital BW, The Print

pull the MIS carts out but be careful as they may have issues.
put in the epson carts and nozzle check and purge pattern print until
you get a clean nozzle check and a decent print.
 
re install the MIS carts and nozzle check and purge pattern.
 
if this doesn't work your carts are hosed.

Subject: [Digital BW] I'm on a deadline...Epson 1280 doesn't
print...help!


Hello:

I just set up a new (it's been in a box since early last year) Epson
Photo 1280 
to print an exhibit of my student's work. I never installed the OEM
Epson color 
cartridges, but instead, installed a set of MIS VM hextone cartridges
that were 
just delivered yesterday.

I installed the Epson driver on my Apple G4 (OS X 10.2.8) and followed
the 
directions for installing the MIS cartridges (two cleaning cycles). I
cannot get it 
to print an image out of PhotoShop, nor even the Epson head nozzle test 
pattern.

It sends the data to the 1280, the machine goes through the motions of 
printing, but no ink is laid on the paper. I cleaned the head three
times and 
then quit trying.

I'm on a deadline for the exhibit, so any advice and help would be most 
welcome.

Thank you,
