Digital BW, The Print

Andrew,

Have you considered the lines? The black line is known for 
clogging with dried ink if it sits idle for even a short time. When 
this happens the black head is stuck due to a vacuum on the 
supply side. You then must force clear the ink line. I switched 
back to carts for this reason. I print in spurts, and the clogging 
was a pain.

Good luck,

Dave
