Re: 4000 clog

2005-10-30 by pekozip93

Hello
Im wondering how many prints Carl produces in a given week as compared
to Jenny's volume
Im considering a 4000 as well for a similiar setup and think that
maybe the CS positions need to be flowing at least every two days.
I can recall many posts in the past (not on the 4000 mind you)
regarding the frequency of operation and clogging with piezotones.
Im wondering as well if the 4000 head may have more trouble with
piezotones given its very small droplet size, and thus may require a
small purge file be run through it daily to keep things flowing.
