First... I'm using a 1400, and the inkset is called Eb6. It consists of 100% Eboni black (a pigment ink) in the black position, the other five positions use varying dilutions of Eboni. Printing with QTR.
I hesitate to call this a problem, it always clears up in one cleaning. Very rarely, it takes a second clearing. I finally decided to give the printer a deep cleaning, including the shoe-shine under head technique, wiper blade, parking pad, nipple cleaning, etc. This cured the first startup clog, but only for a couple of weeks.
Not really serious (I hope), but getting to be a bit of a concern and a nuisance as well. Being that the black cart uses 100% Eboni, a pigment ink, might be the cause. The other five carts are always clog-free upon startup.
One thing I should add... my Eboni (version 1.0) is several months past expiration date, But then I had this problem before expiration.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.
Thank you,
