    @The Hat Many thanks for the anticipated pm. The firmware upgrade was done a year ago or longer? I think your refering to a possible problem with the waste ink reservoir. Did I read something about a waste bottle being fitted as a solution to this problem? Does it then need an electronic...

    Pixma Pro 1 pink banding

    @The Hat . Thanks for a very quick response. I attach a photo of the latest nozzle check print. I have scrutinised it with a magnifying glass and compared it to the nozzle print I made when the printer firmware was updated some time ago. I note that in block 2 the PC block top half is missing...
