Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

Dont know if its the same problem I had coz I dont know if u have CIS installed, but are your CIS tanks lying at a height lower than ur printer?? the levels shd be just in plane with the head... just a thought! (if cis bottles r kept below, they create a suction effect and the ink overflows)

  Subject: [Digital BW] 1280 UT inks first day, smudges on my prints


  Hi folks,

  at the URL below I have scanned in a portion of a print to illustrate my 
  problem.

  http://www.sinfin.com/smudges.jpg

  I just installed the UltraTone inks which arrived from MIS today (I 
  ordered them last Friday afternoon). Very easy to use. Great prints! 
  I've fired off about a dozen at this point and I'm quite impressed.

  Unfortunately, after the 4th or 5th print on my Epson 1280 I began 
  noticing smudges in the same general spot on each of my prints.

  I ran a nozzle check before I started printing, and after cancelling the 
  job. Things look fine there.

  I have used the following inks prior to the Ultra Tones:

  OEM (used the full cartridge)
  MIS Original Achive (used 90% of the cartridge)
  MIS UltraTones (my current inks. Twelve 8x10's)

  Any ideas what this may be? Clogged head? or some type of overflow 
  problem? There is definitely more ink being laid down in those smudges. 
  Why is it always happening in the same area on each print?

  What can I do to fix the problem? I'm leaving town tomorrow and the 1280 
  will sit idle for two weeks. Should I just let it rest and see what 
  happens when I get home? or will letting it sit like this make the 
  problem worse? There is still a little ink left in the MIS Original 
  Archive cartridge (color, pigments) Should I pop that back in and run a 
  test print?

  Thanks for a great forum! I'm very excited about the possibilities with 
  this setup.

  Mike
