Digital BW, The Print

Thanks for the heads up; pun intended… :-)
Yeah, I can just envision … from their viewpoint the glitch is not pissing
away ink at timed intervals.

Best regards,
John Moody

Subject: [Digital BW] me and my 3800 woes... (Helpful info on nozzle checks
for anyone running a 3800)

John,

I'm using Epson premium glossy Photo paper for the head alignments.
I burned through the Luster paper supplied with the printer
already.
Just so you all know I'm not completely nutty, I'm including an
excerpt from an Epson technician reply I recieved today regarding
nozzle checks on the 3800. As for the prints I'm getting off the
printer, when everything is working correctly, I'm very happy with
the results of my b/w prints using the ABW settings with minimal
tweaking.
Thanks again for listening and for your input....

FROM EPSON TECH SUPPORT:
============
We have noticed during this initial release that some users are
experiencing above average nozzle drop out due to a glitch in the
Printer
Watcher program. This glitch is causing the print head to move from
the
home position at timed intervals we believe this motion is exposing
the
printhead to air thus drying the nozzles. Please observe your
printer while
it's idle to determine if the problems you are experiencing might be
because of this glitch. If so the solution for now is to disable the
Printer Watcher until our engineers have a chance to correct the
software
and release an updated version. To disable the Printer Watcher right-
click
on the icon in your system tray and select "settings," choose the
option
"do not open application when computer starts" then select "exit."
