Re: [Digital BW] C86 carts problem... again....

2005-06-13 by Daniel Ridings

I guess I've been lucky. I've never had problems with the nozzles.
I've been using the CFS system for about 6 months now.

When I travel for an extended period of time I ask my wife to turn the
printer on and off once a day. This puts it through a cleaning cycle,
I think. Doing this days in a row can result in an excess of ink that
ruins the first print or two when I come home, but by the time I get
to the third print things are back in order again. I just print out a
couple of test pages to get things going again.
