Digital BW, The Print

Have you cleaned the bottom of the printhead (paper towel & windex in 
the plastic "trough")?  The bottom of the printhead often gets gummed 
up with semidried ink that misdirect the ink jets.  Also the parking 
pad and wiper should be cleaned with windex.  Use Windex with ammonia-
D or any other ammonia-based window cleaner.  Homebrew is 1 part 
household ammonia to 9 parts water.  

Note:  The ammonia (high pH) cleaners only work with basic/high pH 
inksets.  To check for compatability, drop a little ink into some 
cleaner.  The ink should disperse rapidly, if it clots, then don't 
use.
