Digital BW, The Print

Jim, I have a C84 set up with the MIS BW inks. Knowing I wouldn't use
it daily like I do my 1160, I did some research on the C84. I found a
recommendation to put a wet paper towel in an open baggie and put that
down in the printer then put a plastic bag over the whole thing. I
have done this and have had great luck. Most of the time nozzle checks
are great - if not it only takes one cleaning cycle to get everything
firing.

Sorry about your 1160...a great printer.

HTH,

Linda
