Re: [Digital BW] Print Quality Prob with 1280 After Ink Changeover

2003-11-28 by klog52756

Hi Keith,
I am running at 2880, single pass.  I forgot to include in my 
original post that I used the MIS cleaning carts prior to installing 
the new CFS that has the Ultratone Inkset. I don't think this should 
make a difference at all.  In general, I am wondering though that 
the head might be "dirty" (in spite of what appears to be a good 
nozzle check) causing a deflection of the spray.  
If so, I am wondering if it's possible for me to remove the head and 
clean it manually, and if that's considered a good idea, HOW?
Thanks for your feedback.
All the best,
Kevin
