Re: Epson R3000 nozzle clog ??????

Some afterthoughts:

. You still have to be diligent in printing something weekly and agitating the carts fortnightly to avoid sedimentation, but at least with P2 you can forget the ML/PK swap.

. The QTR P2 curves are downloaded from this link. Note that unlike K7, there is a set of P2 curves for each of the five Piezo inksets. There are curves for a total of thirteen papers:

These curves are for an x880, which in effect your R3000 printer is.

. This IJM page says that P2 isn't necessary for the R3000. You may also be told this by IJM sales. Not necessary, but it certainly works and is much, much simpler, as per my previous post.

. The P2 inks are identical to the K7 inks, except that shade 7 (the lightest) is omitted.

The K6 ink set sounds like good advise. I definitely want my printer to be as trouble free as possible. Thanks for the advice.
