When that happens to me, it just means the black channel is not printing.
Are you getting a black band?

Oh - You're right. The black ink isn't printing. I'm getting only 7 step-wedges.
The 3880 printer has 7 inks, plus either Matte or Photo black - and neither of those is printing.
Have I chosen an invalid option ? I have placed a screen-capture image here: http://www.kenleegallery.com/images/carbon/KenLeeQTR.png
Many thanks for your help !

I don't think you have any bad settings, but I am not familiar with how to choose
matte or photo black on the 3880.

looks like this link explains how and talks about some other issues. Should do it.

Thank you very much. I ran some cleaning cycles and now I get the black ink.
