With the sepia and carbon curves the cyan channel (red curve) is only used to turn on the black ink. Some cyan does contribute a bit of density, but you may not be able to see any difference. The fact that you only print with the sepia and carbon inks, thus using very little cyan, is probably why those jets are clogged. You may have a perfectly fine sepia and carbon printer there -- with clogged cyan jets. Paul www.PaulRoark.com
