You need to do a re-install with freshly cleaned tube lines. Put the lines and arm in a sink full of water and blow/siphon to clear the ink. Do not re-install untill you have ascertained that the tube lines have fully dried. (very important) For a clean re-install print this pdf from injketmall. It works for the Epson 1160 and Epson 1200. http://www.inkjetmall.com/store/info/pdf/CIS740-1200.pdf Cheers, Andre --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "byushooter" <jellerbe@j...> wrote: > This is a copy of an email I sent to IJM last Monday.
