Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

Run 3 cleaning cycles and then print a head clog test. I think you have severe clogging in your printer! 

try using some form of ink purging cartridges from MIS or Media street if the head is clogged or  go here:

I used 99% rubbing alcohol instead of the mixture they suggested on the pads and it works just fine, also keep an absorbant cloth under the printer when you do this, the ink pads are usually very messy! I have a cat and hair from the cat often gets stuk to the head making printing a menace!

Hope this helps!s

Sam

  Subject: [Digital BW] 1280 puts out blue only


  I went to make prints on my 1280 with new cartridges just installed, got one
  so-so print and then it only gave me blue pictures.

  I used Paul's curves from about a year ago for the 1280, then flowed the
  picture into a Quark document so that I could add copy and make cards.

  I use a G3, OS 9.2. PS7.

  Any guesses what setting I am forgetting to set to make BW prints with quad
  MIS inks in my 1280? When I tried to make cards a couple weeks ago I got
  pictures that were missing deep black. All other tones were present. It was
  weird. I think some of the ink isn't printing, and now only the blue.

  I also get the power light blinking at times. When I tried to change inks
  with yellow button, nothing happened. I checked menu for inks and found they
  were full. That should be right, because I just installed new inks a week
  ago and made like 4 cards.

  Any help would be appreciated.

  Happy holidays all,

  Al Camp
