Cyan overspray (halo) on CIS

2001-12-10 by Daniel Perez

>Sorry for the cross-post, really need some help,
though.

Hello list, 
 I just set up my NMC CIS on my 1270 w/ MIS Arch.
Color inks and noticed something strange right away..
My prints were coming out with a severe cyan
"overspray" to the left and top of my print's edge.

I printed some blocks of color to see the range of
this
effect. I've posted a scanned print here:
http://www.tronicart.com/inks/spray.html 

Most of the overspray occurred on purple, cyan and
blue
blocks. There also appears to be some magenta
overspray. It doesn't seem to happen on black blocks.

I've run several cleaning cycles to no avail. Nozzle
checks come up fine, as do alignment checks. I haven't
tried swapping out w/ an OEM cart, need to buy one.
Think the one I took out dried already?(since sat.).

I'm running this system on a PC w/ PhotoShop 6.
Problem
also shows up in PhotoShop 5.5.

I heard this discussed back in the summer, but don't
remember it ever getting resolved.(he just gave the
printer away)

Has this happened to anyone? Did you find a solution?

Thanks for your help!!
Daniel Perez

>note: My MIS VM CIS set on my 1280 is working without problem.
