Digital BW, The Print

Hi,

 

I am using Epson Enhanced Matte paper with my new Epson C86 printer. I began
with the MIS Eboni Black ink but switched back to the Epson cartridge to
narrow down the variables to get to the source of this problem: though most
of the print looks ok, in the first few inches of the print there is some
very light streaking - faint lines of lighter ink density. As one would
imagine, these lines are visible only in areas of mid to darker tone in the
print. I have tried cleaning the heads several times but the streaks remain.
I also thought that because the problem was in the first few inches of the
print, perhaps the printer needed to "warm up" and get the ink flowing, and
so I tried making two prints in a row. That did not help. 

 

Any suggestions?

 

Thanks!
