Digital BW, The Print

Hi all;

I finally got that 7500 I'd mentioned earlier up and running, only 
to discover I have two major problems, one of which I hope someone 
can help me with. I have a few clogged nozzles in the K head and a 
few ni the cyan, that just won't budge. Does anyone have any ideas 
as to how to unclog them? I don't see any practical way of injecting 
windex, so I think my only option is to put some dilute ammonia in 
the CIS and start printing. it Takes about 10 24x30 purge prints to 
move the ink from the cart position to the head! Not to mention the 
stench of ammonia for several hours! I would love some ideas to 
speed up the process that doesn't involve dumping liquids in the 
waste ink tank- that's the only component component that's below 100%
Lifespan on this beast, so once I've overcome this clog, I'll feel 
like I got a very good deal.
 The second problem has to do with the WYSIWIG inkset I've been 
developing: The 7500 made complete hash out of it, I'll have to 
reformulate or find another solution that deosn't require spending 
1500.00 on IP5. Rats!

Steve,

Go here and down load the KK2.7000.pdf:

http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Epson9000/files/

The KK2 is a superduper head cleaning procedure - do it at least twice before you check.

Also you will need to join the Epson9000 list which is the best list for Large Format Epsons.

Also download the field and service manuals here:
