Help: R800 printing grainy

2006-04-22 by timeexposure

Hello,

My R220 performs well with UT-R2, so I gave a try to MIS color inks 
in my R800 for color. That's not the place for color here, but lots 
og people know well that kind of printer/carts.

I guess something went wrong during priming because two colors are 
grainy (it shows small white dots in a plain color pattern).

I've reprimed the carts tree times, made head cleanings in series of 
3 with MIS tests pattern prints inbetween (3 series of carts 
emptied...).

The Epson nozzle check is PERFECT !!!! And alignment also !!! That's 
crazy...

No real clue from MIS support... 150$ inks/carts/chips + one printer 
almost dead. Their last advise is to try a cleaning cart (I already 
tried windex on the parking sponge).

Your thoughts ? 

Francois

BTW: the new MIS carts have a real sealing pb, two colors (not the 
grainy ones) ran empty prematurely due to leaking into the printer... 
I had to seal the rubber plug with hot glue.
