Hi Paul, Thanks for the reply. The thing is the PK which is completely clogged or not working at all, is NOT outputting any lines whatsoever when I do the "nozzle check" pattern. As all the lines for the other cartridges are fine. So I don't think it is a clog but a busted nozzle perhaps? I first thought there wasn't enough pressure with the other carts as some were low but I replaced them all with fresh new ones and still had the same problem. I also got one of those cartridges where you add a syringe to inject through some cleaning fluid through the PK nozzle. It outputed the cleaning fluid alright but nothing came up in the "nozzle check". Actually coming to think of it, I hope the "nozzle check" prints the way the order the cartridges are on the printer? If not it could be the MK which is busted???! :) Either way I'll keep at it. http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Eboni-1800.pdf I'm a bit confused with page 3 and perhaps i'm missing something? I have 6 Eboni inks, and I presume I put the inks in this order: 1.Yellow catridge in R1800 <- Eb6 Y 2.RED catridge in R1800 <- EB6-LM 3.Magenta catridge in R1800 <- EB6-LC 4.Blue catridge in R1800 <- EB6-M 5.CYAN catridge in R1800 <- EB6- C Umm where is the 6th cartridge suppose to go? Perhaps the MK cartidge goes the Eboni K ? If this is the case I really dont need to worry about the PK busted one or the glop positions and I go ahead with the Epson or QTR driver? Am I correct in saying this? > You might want to put cleaning fluid in the un-used glop position also. You can use the C6 base > (see http://www.paulroark.com/BW-Info/Ink-Mixing.pdf). Why would I need to put cleaning fluid in the un-used glop position? I'm not going to use it for printing...or am I ? :) >For the clogged position, use half the glycerol so the viscosity is >lower -- more likely to get into the clog.
