Re: Ink waste - cartridges vs CIS

2008-08-15 by Seth Rossman

A lot depends on how you do the cleaning.  If it's AUTO, you may be 
wasting a lot of ink.  It's a PITA any way you look at it.

I have found that after a nozzle check--clean--nozzle check, the 
original head may be good but another one is showing misses.  On and on, 
I had six run throughs the other day after refilling carts.

HOWEVER, after one of those fiascos I always run a head alignment. In 
this case AUTO is okay.

...However I still have the problem of every head clean that the printer
insists on doing created gaps in the nozzle pattern, and I'm at a bit
of a loss to understand why. I've had this problem with this printer
with two sets of CIS carts and a broadly similar problem with a set of
refillable cartidges. It seems to me that it's the printer. Ever so
slightly smaller ink nipples? Head cleaning suction too strong?
Anyone got any ideas?
