RE: [Digital BW] hate to post again but I need help

The only thing I can think of is the K3 inks have not fully flushed out of
the system. Cannot remember what positions the K3 inks occupy, but you might
want to run a number of prints that large patched of the ink colors that may
be contaminated. Also if my memory serves me correctly there are some
"flushing" images that you can download.
 
I has a problem with yellow and magenta inks on my R1800 and used Corel Draw
to make an image that had large yellow and magenta bars, printed about 8
times and the problem was gone.
 
My guess is running a nozzle & cleaning check a few times is not enough to
clear the contaminated lines
 
Hope this helps
 
Mike

This question has been out for two days, and because I am antsy to get an
answer I am posting again, usually I have a lot of patience as I Know this
is all volunteer help,   I really need to print color by the end of the week
and either will fix this problem or pay someone to print for me. 
excuse this and thanks in advance for any help I can get. 
from K3 back to color equals dark prints

Hello,
I have not printed in several months. Today  I switched out my K3 inks in my
R1800, which I was told I could do when I bought the K3 inks and after
running about a dozen prints thru the printer, it still prints dark and off
color. I would think it was my monitor but my R1400 prints on the money. I
calibrate about every six weeks. I printed some prints while upping the
brightness factor in +30  increments in PS3, but the colors were still off
and dark.  I have run three cleanings/nozzle checks. 
   Is there anything I can do to remedy this, or am I stuck.
   Also. Am I allowed to sell items here. I have about a hundred and fifty
dollars worth of inks, cartridges and chips for the R1800, which I would
sell at a deep discount. 
thanks a lot for any help offered.
Frank
