Digital BW, The Print

I have used only MIS UT7 inks in my 7600, with a CFS setup, and am extremely 
pleased. Using curves or sliders, many tones are possible from cool to sepia. 
I've learned to avoid clogs the hard way. After  a 2- day visit by Epson , I 
keep a humidifier blasting away in front of the printer, and keep a wet sponge 
inside.  Use eyedropper w distilled water to wet parking pad every few days. 
Refill humidifier and re-wet sponge every 12 hours. Clean humidifier weekly. If 
I go away, I hire a "printer-sitter." It's as much trouble as my cat, but it 
also purrs when treated right.
          Good luck,
               Arlene

Try replacing the sponge with a large cigar humidor device, holds 12-14 
ozs of water for days. You can even get a fluid they sell that will 
output a standard %62 humidity, and it smells nice. Just remember to 
remove before turning on printer or you will get a VERY bad head crash.

Arlene, thanks for your tips on moisturizing the 7600
printer.  This is definitely emerging as a  common
theme in these posts!  If you, Tyler, Hogarth or
anyone else who has experience along these lines could
manage to post a few jpegs showing exactly how you
apply moisture to those parts inside of the printer,
it would be extremely helpful.  I have tried some of
these things in the past, following verbal
instructions from Epson or Larry Danque, without being
sure if I was getting it right or not.

Another interesting idea!

I just wish I could make a living on it, I can see it now, Epson 
Humidor $149, my cost $8.

I hesitate to put you back in the "hopefull tweaking" mode, but here's
what I do-

Do the procedure for cutter blade replacement, which will move the
head put off of the rest position and allow you to move it around
along the guide rails. Then, depending on whether I'm trying to clear
a clog, or just turning the printer off for a few days, I put some
windex on the capping station, sop it back up with a tissue, put a few
drops of water or windex paper depending. Then I wipe the rubber wiper
blade with widex on a Qtip. Close the front and turn off the printer.
Then open the front again and place a wet sponge back in close to the
heads.
