Re: Dedicated GLOP printer

2005-06-23 by Nick H. Nugent

I don't see any problem. To simplify the setup just load all positions
with GLOP. About clogging...I really have no idea. So far I haven't
experienced any clogging even with such an old workhorse like the
1160. And I'm not a regular printer either.

Some member observed that the GLOP on the head parking pad is causing
some clogging of nozzles though they are not loaded with GLOP. I think
there is some truth to it. I find my GLOP printer lose perfect nozzle
checks quicker than others but nothing that can't be cured by a
cleaning cycle. I don't know about long term usage though. It may be a
good idea to run purging carts through the head at every refill.
