Re: [Digital BW] New K7s, question about nozzle check

2009-07-11 by Michael King

The auto check patterns are much better for checking that the nozzles are
really clear and you can visually also see all the K7 ink patterns clearly
without a loupe..

You might find that the 9800 still runs an auto check ok with K7.
My 1900 does. But I haven't tried this on large format.

Also if the 9800 prints a single strip of patches for the auto nozzle check
(like the 4800) you can let it print the strip and then if it can't read
them properly you can just press reset after its printed, but before it auto
checks and then check by eye.
