Digital BW, The Print

Richard;

Look at your nozzle test carefully with a 3x-5x lupe. They should 
not simply all be there, but each one should be straight and clean 
with any little hooks on the ends, anf the gaps between them should 
be even and consistent between colors, If you have hooks or other 
minor imperfections, you likely have an ink build-up under the head. 
I'm sure you've already tried wiping with a strip of cleaning-fluid 
soaked fabric, but you may need to get more aggressive. I recently 
solved a similar problem by making a fabrick sleeve that fit over a 
thin blade bent so I could slide it under the head and apply a 
little pressure whlie wiping it.  Worked well, the printer went from 
almost unusable to almost perfect.
