Digital BW, The Print

"Does this sound familiar to anyone"

Very. It's why I stopped using MIS inks. Things would go along fine for 
months, then MIS would  get a bad batch of cartridges and things would go 
wrong. With me it was usually a magenta tinge.

Subject: [Digital BW] New UT2 cart--prints suddenly too light


I've been using MIS UT2 inks in my 1280 for a couple of years with no
problems.  Windows XP SP2, calibrated monitor, Picture Window Pro
with color management off, Paul Roarke curves (usually EEM neutral).

I bought and installed a new UT2 cartridge in the printer last week.
As soon as I installed it, my prints started printing lighter, and
with a significant bluish tinge to them.  With the old cartridge (and
all previous ones), I had WYSIWYG with the screen.  With the new
cartridge, it's too light and too blue.  It's like all the light and
mid-tones have been lightened one zone.

In fact I had a file up in PWP when I changed the cartridge, and had
printed it just before and just after the cartridge change.  The same
thing happens with other files, so it's not a problem with that one
file.

I talked to MIS tech support, and they are trying to convince me that
I've changed my settings somehow.  I've checked and double-checked,
and everything appears the same.

When I changed the cartridge, I ran the usual two cleaning cycles,
and a nozzle check. Didn't get a perfect pattern, so I printed a junk
print, ran two more cleaning cycles and nozzle checks, and got a
perfect pattern.

Does this sound familiar to anyone?

Aaargh!
