OK. I edited the first magenta field to indicate the settings. Np - normal Paper, Gp - glossy paper, Hs - high speed, but I messed up the first one it says Np but should have been Gp. Gp HSOff Gp HSOn Np HSOff Np HSOn

I tried it, and got some odd results. Printing on HP glossy photo paper and using Best Photo setting in the driver I got the results below. Glossy Paper with High speed checked. Glossy Paper without High speed checked. The first one seems odd to me. The black text isn't great, but I've...

I agree with what you are saying, and I will try to blow out the sensor again. What I can't understand is why a dirty timing strip or it's sensor wouldn't effect the color nozzle equally? I really do appreciate all the effort you are putting into this. This probably wouldn't be worth it, even...

This is what I have been seeing. It is all 6 pt. text to highlight the problem. Note that the colors all have decent sharpness. Black goes from almost acceptable to un readable and back in the space of a few lines. This is with High Speed unchecked. I switched back to High Speed checked and...

If you look back to the third post in this thread I posted a scan of the problem. You suggested cleaning the ribbon used to align the print head horizontally. I've done that multiple times. It seemed to help on my first test print but the problem came back immediately. What I haven't done is...

I don't doubt it. At one point an Epson support person told me that if the Epson brand cartridge I used had been sitting on a shelf too long it would not work. I would be a very simple thing for Epson to embed a date code in the cartridge. I think you posted something similar in your last...

It happened to two printers at about the same time even thought I bought the CIS units from different sellers at different times. I put new aftermarket cartridges in one of the printers it didn't change anything. I just replaced the CIS unit in the other one. It still has the same issue, and...

Well I have no idea what MSF is; Manned Space flight?, Motorcycle Safety Foundation? Mobile Strike Force?:confused: If I were going to replace the timing strip I'd qant to get a new one. Thanks for the offer. After a month if taking the thing out, cleaning, and reinstalling I'm having serious...

Maybe I wasn't clear. I took it out, and put it back in without any major issues. When I tired to clean it it felt sticky. It was like getting 35 mm film wet. I was afraid I might scratch it if I did too much. If I knew I could get a replacement I wouldn't be worried about a little more...

I guess I better rethink that. I found a manual for the 800 which seems identical. In section "7.2 Exploded Diagram / Parts List" it has one line; "This manual does not provide exploded diagrams or parts list.":(

I'm of the ilk that believes you don't really own something until you take it apart and put it back together again. I went ahead and tried it. It was a bit fussy getting it back in, but I don't give up easily. It seems to work better, but not perfect. If I could order the replacement stripe...

I understand the issues and have no plans to upgrade. I would be interested to know what firmware versions have problems with after market ink cartridges and cis systems. If anyone publishes a list I would love to see it. There was a related issue I was still wondering about. If the driver is...

That sounds about right. I tried blowing the positioning strip and sensor off with canned air. I'll try wiping it instead. I got the print carriage out of the way with your helpful instructions. You weren't kidding when you said it might be difficult to get at. There is a plastic cover that...

"I wouldn't think that this is a firmware issue..." The only reason I thought of firmware was that it hit both printers at pretty much the same time. It could be coincidence. "Firmware updates can be disabled in the driver settings, you probably accepted them during driver installation, it's...

I have 2 Epson Artisan 837 printers that have been working with CIS systems for several years. This fall they both started having the same problem at the same time. I first noticed bands of fuzzy text running horizontally across the page. Further investigation showed that it was a horizontal...
