Re: [Digital BW] R-800 Nasty cyan clog

2008-10-07 by scott_now_coming

Thanks, but I'm at a "last resort" here. I've printed lieterly TONS 
of purge patterns and solid blocks of cyan pages. I've run cleaning 
carts for a couple of weeks.

This is MAJOR. I'm thinking the printing head may be gone. I'm 
getting NO ink through the head. Nothing. Nada. Zip. Zilch.... you 
get the point. :~)

crank up the cyan in the driver setting to try and flush out. It has 
worked for me in the past with tough clogs.
