Michael..I haven't tried it yet. When I switched back the inks from my swap test the problem abated although I'm sure it will come back. I hope to not give up on it since I also have a 2200 and used QTR with both setups and prefer the UT2 printouts vs the UC inks. John..Not sure it's an ink buildup problem. It doesn't manifest on the printout that way. It looks like more of a misfiring nozzle than anything. The lines are defined. I've had the smear problems you described with OEM inks and they presented differently. --Joel --- In DigitalBlackandWhiteThePrint@yahoogroups.com, "john dean" <deanwork2003@y...> wrote: > > You could end up with similar issues with Epson inks also.
