RE: [Digital BW] 1160 and MIS UT-FS Nozzle check problem

Thanks - yes, that did the trick. What bothers me a little is if the 
printer decides to run a head clean at switch on, how long I have to wait 
before I can use it ...

Still, I'm impressed with the results from the MIS UT-FS inks, particularly 
on Ilford Smooth Gloss.  There is some bronzing, but TBH it's no worse than 
some RC photographic papers I've seen.

If anyone wants a curve for that combination (or for PermaJet Omega) e-mail 
me off-list.

Regards
Richard
