Re: [Digital BW] 4000 clog

2005-10-24 by Carl Schofield

Hi Jenny,

I'm running the same setup as you, but haven't had any clogging  
problems (yet).  Is it the carbon sepia inks causing the clogs?  Jon  
Cone has commented in a few threads about how the k7 inks are  
virtually bullet proof with respect to clogging compared to the other  
piezo inks, making me wonder if the carbon sepia are less compatible  
and more likely to create problems.  As much as I like the carbon  
sepia inks, if they start causing clogs I'll get rid of them.
