Digital BW, The Print

Hey all,

I've been BO printing on my 2200 with Matt Black on EEM and a recent box of 
Photo Rag.  I like the results very much. 
 
Just recieved 2 carts of Ebony today.  I haven't yet installed them.

Tonight someone on the list made a reference to clogs with Ebony.  Should I 
expect them?  This is the first mention I've seen that Ebony may be prone to 
clogging.  What is the experience here with Ebony in a 2200 and clogs.

Thanks
Neil

I don't use eboni in my 2200 but I've been using it
for months on my B@W dedicated 1280 and I haven't had
a single clog yet.  I do make sure to print at least a
test sheet about once a week.  I could be wrong, but I
would guess that the 2200 shouldn't have a problem.

I'm doing the same and haven't experienced anything unusual. 
Sometimes if it has sat unused for awhile it might require a single
cleaning cycle.
I'm very pleased so far, in every way.


Regards,
Clayton

I'm on my second Eboni cart on my 2200 and am loving it. Before
printing anything big or important I do a nozzle check. Occasionally a
couple of gaps but nothing that a cleaning cycle or two could not
clear. Just ordered 4 more Eboni carts to keep myself stocked as I
sold a few more prints this week.

I think that may have been me.  I am in the minority, i had a bad 
experience with the UTs first time around.  I was one of a few that 
got a wrongly mixed batch that just screwed everything up - ofcourse 
MIS replaced all no questions, at the same time, I just could'nt get 
Eboni to work on either of my 1290s.  I probably didnt give it long 
enough because most have had few problems, but combined with the mix 
issue, I just switched back to VM and GEN4K.  I now use UT with 
GEN4K - totally clog free in all positions and will try Eboni again 
with the UT2s soon.
