Digital BW, The Print

Eric, I can read the nozzle check and compare it to Jon's notes on 
the piezo link and can then see what's wrong.  But I can't find any 
documentation to tell me what to do about the problems.  I may just 
be overlooking it.  

I did clean the capping station and the wiper blade (which was 
covered with gunk).  I ran one KK2 clean and the step wedge was very 
much improved.  I then did a KK1 cleaning thinking that might clean 
up the last little bit - but the step wedge was worse.  So I am just 
going to let it sit overnight and try again tomorrow.

Thanks for your help.

Jenny
