Re: another head cleaning question

2007-01-23 by howg2211

I have a bit of trouble seeing the yellow for routine nozzle checks,
but not too bad.  However, I have a ton of trouble seeing the yellow
for the head alignments.  I am near sighted, but starting to also
wonder if I might be a little color blind...particularly on the on
(forget the alignment name) when you get the colored square and have
to choose the one with the least amount of yellow line in it.  Does
anyone else have trouble with the yellow and head alignment patterns?

By the way, if anyone is interested I just started a photography blog
at www.howardgrill.blogspot.com
