Re: mottled yellow position in QTR calibration test print

2014-07-01 by paulmwhiting@...

Well, Pete, no luck so far. I tried reducing the ink limit to several values, 50, 40, 30... then I noticed Paul suggests leaving the limit field blank for the color channels, but that didn't help either. Still getting blotchy upper squares (at the dark end). I mentioned the Y cart was low, just topped it off, that didn't help.

Do you think I should replace the cart? The ones I'm using now are Jon Cone's, the version number on the chip is 6.0. I do have a couple of spare sets, one with 6.0 chips and one with 6.3. I'm reluctant to use them because the set of Jon's that I'm using are special edition 6.0 chips - Jon specified to the manufacturer that they be manually resettable. A feature I really like.

Roy, I wonder if you're following this thread... do you have any ideas? (I am registered by the way, but I can't find my original papers, nor do I see a registration number in my help file.)

A few months are I was getting a very clean Calibration printout. The printer was not used for a few months but I ran a nozzle check every week or so with excellent results.

Paul
