Hi
I bought a CIS system for my Epson Photo 900 from these guys in July http://myworld.ebay.co.uk/2005imports/
It has worked fine reasonably well the colour balance for photos was rubbish and I had to buy a profiler just to get reasonable colour matching (but thats another story).
In the last 3-4 weeks I haven't been using the printer much, maybe once a week just for the occasional text print or web page print.
I have noticed during this time the black ink level is steadily dropping, it is noticeable on a daily basis. At first I thought it might be I was using more black than colour ink, but since now its hardly being used it cant be the case. I'd also considered evaporation as there is an air filter in the top of the ink chamber, but comparing it to the colour inks they are almost full whereas the black now only has about 10mm of ink left.
Has anyone come across this before? Am I likely to have a big puddle of ink swimming around the bottom of the printer?
thanks
Turin
