Originally I had a problem that the light magenta on my 730 looks liked it had dried out. Took a look at this thread.. http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/viewtopic.php?id=5771 checked that the capping station was draining liquid away and was sucking ink through for the other lines. When I checked...

As far as the crosses .. they're metal I think . Actually they are stainless steel I think it's just the lighting with the camera angle they came out that bronze colour. I just put the liquid on the park head thinking it would soften anything still stuck in the heads. Probably didn't do much...

Just sprays like water would, so no significant foam really. Pronounced hal-fords. One other thing I did was put some of the cleaning fluid on the area where the heads park. The bronze XX marks them out on the rhs of the image after step 1.3. Left that for a few hours after cleaning the heads...

Halfords is the name of one of the biggest auto stores here in the UK. This is a glass cleaner for for cars. Water based, the liquid has a yellow tinge to it. Smells to me like there's some ammonia in there actually. Of course it's now packaged differently since I bought this, so here's the...

Thanks for the reply ghwellsjr. I've repeated the nozzle check on Epson Glossy paper which then scanned does give a clearer set of images. It does look to me that the magenta is pretty consistent between checks and it looks like the same nozzles each time. All the other colours are spot on in...

A few weeks ago my trusty Epson R200 started giving poorer photo prints. Problem is that often the photos look fuzzy and there's a pink tinge to the edges of solid objects. At 1st it was just some prints , but now it seems to be all the time. Sure enough when I checked the test print there was...
