    What is a photo black cartridge for?

    No, this will not work in this way. When you use word and print directly to your printer driver the printer driver will be passed values presumably in rgb black 0,0,0, the driver frontend will use them to generate low level postscript that will be processed with the backend part of the driver...

    Lame 9500 printhead unnecessary cleaning + trick

I have to get myself a chip resetter however i tried a trick in the meanwhile. Do a print, just after the print send another or turn off the printer with the front I/O...

    Poor ink flow problems?

    Confirmed, was the grey ink. I did some more tests and the nozzle checks showed poor ink flowing. Refilled again with just inktek ink and now after 2-3 standard cleaning nozzle check seems back ok. I will do more tests in case.

    Does anyone have experience of PPD paper?

    As premise, I'm reporting my specific experience: because the control that you have over ink density is really needed, there are a pair of papers from ppd that i used in past that i tried with all the medium settings on the official drivers and all of them were too much ink for the paper. I...

    Does anyone have experience of PPD paper?

    I have experience with some of ppd paper not the model you specified, they are not high end as canon or ilford ones but not bad as very cheap unbranded paper. It's a paper that can be used for sure but not without a rip for controlling ink quantities and densities plus an instrument for precise...

    Poor ink flow problems?

    I'm not sure of that, there's a black stripe above near the azure block. Also the print is done with no color management on in order to create patches to build icc profiles.

    Poor ink flow problems?

    I see, thanks. Could I just print some black pages until all the ink is run out? Now that you mention it, the grey ink. I observed the same behavior both for glossy (PBK) and matte (MBK) paper profiles. Could be the gray the culprit. Tomorrow will do more checks...

    Poor ink flow problems?

    Even if the quality maybe is not as the other I do use Inktek inks, they are Korean and well done. Easily found in Germany in liters with competive prices by a seller on eBay ;)

    Hi, I have a pro9500 Mark2, because of the B200 error message, I want to reset EEPROM,

    If Have you tried an alarm on your phone or Google calendar? "Print nozzle check" I have 7 printers and each 2 weeks or max a month print a nozzle check on each of them Jose Rodriguez says every 60 hours but for me is too close unless you own a print shop. He claims however to have around 20...

    A good way to know if your printer have microclogs

    Sometimes after a nozzle check everything looks ok, however there could be a small amount of clogging still here. If you cast on an auto head alignment, that is sometimes advised in order to improve print quality expecially on "standard" or fast print modes, you could discover that some inks...
