Digital BW, The Print

I do not know if this has any bearing on your problem or not but for what it is worth.

My 1280 was having a very bad black over-spray and a shift to cyan.  At the suggestion of an CIS supplier, I took an empty ink/cleaner cartridge and filled it with Windex. I used a black purge print. You can take a step wedge and crop the max D section to create a black purge. I ran this several times and then installed the black ink cartridge and Volta..The black over-spray was cleared as well as the cyan cast.
You may have a clogged ink jet.

This worked on my 2400 as well

Good luck.

  Subject: [Digital BW] Why?


  My 1280 has been working great...until my big show of course. Suddenly
  it started printing a black squiggly line horizontally across the
  photo about 1/8 down from the top on a horizontal image.

  The squiggly line also appears vertically on text printing from word
  files.

  I tried several different ink carts.

  I've used the cleaning utility and it almost just makes it worse.

  I have no idea how to physically clean the print head if that's even
  the problem.

  Is this an easy fix or am I screwed?

  thanks

  Tim
