Digital BW, The Print

Hi group,
beeing satisfied with my LF B&W Combo (7500/MIS-FS/IP4) - 
I dedecated my 3000 printer to color work. That means after 
purging the system I installed MIS archival color inks on that 
printer hoping for some nice A2 color prints. That was yesterday, 
since then I run more nozzle checks than ever before in my life. 
The problem is: whatever I do, each nozzle check will offer 
different mistakes. Cleaning doesn´t help (even with the windex 
trick, even after letting the printer sit idle overnight). And never will 
the pattern show the same missing links. They seem to jump 
from one color to the other absolutely randomly.
What is that??
S02 from hell or just air in my carts?
Any ideas what to do?
Bernd

Sorry, forgot to mention, that the steps in the nozzle check are not 
always missing, often they are only misplaced a bit, again 
absolutely random from check to check.

"Different mistakes" each time may mean you have air bubbles, not clogs.
Turn off the printer and wait 24 hrs.

Bernd,

have you tried printing a purge image, then the nozzle check? I found 
that to help me in one frustrating case.

Richard, Tim et all. 
I suppose you are right. I´ll follow your advise turn the machine 
off and shall be patient, although meanwhile I printed a CMYK 
purge image on a thick sheet of paper (310gsm) wich was 
soaked with Windex with print head in the 0 (zero) position, 
which was soaked with Windex . You can´t imagine how much 
sludge was rubbed off the print head. That gave a better - though 
not perfect nozzle check
Thanks to all.
Bernd
