Blacks on my Epson 3000 have a "crazed" appearance

2005-04-21 by Arthur Fink

Ouch!  Went to do some printing on my Epson 3000, and the blacks show up as 
a crazed dark gray.  On closer inspection, the areas that should be black 
(or close thereto) have the appearance of a 60 dot/inch halftone, but look 
more like Jacquard weaving.

I'm using the old Cone Piezography driver, with MIS UT-FS inks (Eboni 
black).  Printer had sat for a few weeks unused, but has only the most 
minor flaws on the nozzle check, which cleared up on the first cleaning.  I 
tested with Moab Entrada, then Hannemuhle Photo Rag, then Hannemuhle Photo 
Matte, and got the same results with all three.

Any ideas what might be going on?
