Digital BW, The Print

Bob

I am inclined to think you may be right. Especially since the printer that was not working well with VM is now printing Piezo perfectly and without any problems. I don't think I'll take the risk to swap them back just to prove the point.

  Adrian,

  Could bpeteb's posting about seating of CIS cartridges and direct connection
  be the cause of your problems? It seems possible that mere disconnection and
  reconnection has solved it, rather than it being due to a different printer
  or operating system.

  Bob Frost.

  Part of bpeteb's posting:

  "Apparently the inconsistencies may have been caused by the CIS
  cartridges slowly unseating themselves which allows air to enter
  through the base feeds of the ink stems which the cartridges rest on.
  Manny from IJM called me to give me the heads up on a fix which is
  curing quite a few users. You push the CIS carts down and make certain
  that you push them down frequently.

  I had the DDS syndrom which is when your prints lose density in the 3/4
  tones. That is the ink which is mostly affected by the cart rising. But
  Manny suggested a fix earlier which was to bypass the CIS cartridges
  completely and run the tubing directly onto the ink stems. That was an
  instant cure and I am still using that after about 3 months and have no
  plans to return to the CIS system."
