I started another thread about replacing this printer. It is looking like that isn't happening for a while due to covid-19 related shipping delays, and my area being under a shelter in place order. I'm doing what I can to get my old Artisan 837 working again.
Can someone take a look at the attached photo and see if it makes any sense?
I have been having a problem with blurred text. I took out the timing ribbon to clean it. I am pretty sure it is back in correctly. I also tried folding up a piece of paper towel soaked in glass cleaner and moving the print head over it to clear clogged nozzles. (Something I saw on youtube). The top nozzle check was done shortly after I installed a printer potty and reinstalled the CISS in it. From the top down I didn't change anything, I just waited a couple of hours between each print out. after the 4th I tried a head alignment printout, which was so bad I couldn't make any change. I went back to try another nozzle check. pattern. The bottom nozzle check is in some ways better, but the text at the top is completely gone again.
Any ideas?
