I haven't followed the link, but there are a whole bunch of adjustments that can be made on the control panel of the 7000. Reading the nozzle check should get you through it. This was a life saver back in the days of getting the 7000 running with piezotones. Bill Bergh and the tech folks at Cone really came through on that for those of us on the Piezo Pro Group. I'd do the adjustment first. You might want to also run a check and see how much material has been run through that ol' 7000. It won't hurt to order an extra wiper and a damper replacement kit to have on hand. It won't set you back too much and beats the heck on of sitting around for three days waiting for parts. This is about the ONLY good thing to use EEM for as it does really matter if it yellows. If will be trashed soon enough.

It seems I have some problems. In Row 3 the center blocks aren't solid colors where the odd and even lines should overlap. There are thin gaps or striations. The thin vertical lines in Rows 4 & 5 have some stray dots. And there are slight defects in some of the other patterns. So ... do I need to do more cleanings or Windex routines or something similar? Or does this mean it's time for the dampers/wiper blade maintenance? I have a 4000 with piezotones that I have been using for several years. I would really like to make this 7000 work if possible. But if repairs are going to be costly, I'll just get K7 inks for the 4000 and forget about the wider format for now.
