Re: bad UT2 1280 carts confirmed

2005-02-19 by Stephen P. Veillette

Jim,

Thanks for the info!  It seems that I have one of those cartidges (haven't called MIS yet to 
confirm, though... figures I'd find this out on a weekend!)

My prints and step wedges exhibit all of the symptoms you describe.  I had previously 
posted about seeing dots in the highlights, and even posted some examples.  Paul Roark 
sent me a step wedge that he printed which looked absoutely perfect, so I was left 
wondering what I was doing wrong.  This was my first time using UT2, so I didn't have 
anything to compare it to.

I subsequently bought a UT-FSN cartridge, and the prints are coming out wonderfully, so I 
decided to forget about my UT2 cartridge, as I'll probably stick with FSN.

At least I know I'm not crazy.  Someone else had mentioned to me the possibility of a bad 
cartridge-- I guess I should have followed up on that and saved some headaches!

-Steve
