QTR-Quadtone RIP

Hi,

Seems to be a moving target, last night I saw contamination in the magenta channel as well, looks like it is on its last legs.  The cost of a new head just makes it  uneconomic to repair, shame. 

I was told yesterday that Epson UK announced to the trade that the 1500W model had ceased  production, I guess the 1430 will be the same.  The replacement uses a very different inkset. 

Cheers

Nigel

Hi Nigel,

If yellow is being contaminated by black, use the Y channel for your next darkest ink and adjust your ink description file accordingly. I used this fix for quite a while infill the printhead finally gave up. Lots of head cleaning cycles may cause this known problem. Good luck, Jim
