RE: Expensive exprience was Re: [Digital BW] a new user with an Epson 3800

It’s on page 84 of the manual. <big grin>.
I’ve been doing nozzle checks every day on the 3800.  I needed manual
cleanings on 4 separate occasions so far, in addition to the ones it decides
to do on it’s own.  The first manual cleaning appears to use very little
ink, and (the printer) wiping the head seems to do good things.  I no longer
attempt to avoid the cleanings, as it seems to need them to keep working
perfectly.  I recently had a single magenta nozzle spraying off angle that
did not clean up on the first cleaning, and required a second hit.

Best regards,
John Moody

I get calls about color problems and am always suprised they haven't
checked nozzles. When they do there's unually one color badly out.
I do a nozzle check before almost every print, certainly before every
hard won final.
It sounds silly, and unnecessary, but I do eventually learn something...
There's no indication anything like this should be necessary until you
find a group like this.
