Carbon-6 banding problems

Carbon-6 banding problems

2008-11-30 by wowsers2020

I'm having troubles with Carbon-6. 

This is the first time I've tried it. I bought el cheapo refillable carts from eBay and loaded 
them with the ink.

Unfortunately, I've only been able to achieve less than perfect results. No amount of cleaning 
seems to help.

What do you think is causing the problem? Bad carts? Trapped air?

Be sure you're getting a perfect nozzle check.  If you're just 
starting, air or foam in the outlets could be the problem.  Often 
letting it sit over night will take care of the problem.
