Digital BW, The Print

If you are using QTR and only three inks, change should be easy. Open up the
current curve you are using. Look at the slots that are being used.
Designate one of  the empty ink slots that out puts a good nozzle check in
place of the bad open and copy that info to that slot and then turn off the
old ink slot. Remember to "save as" and give it a name that lets you know
what to do. If you have other setting that were made for that same set,
you'll need to change those as well.

Subject: Re: [Digital BW] Please interpret my nozzle check pattern

 

Well, that didn't appear to work. It's such and exact and unchanging nozzle
check 
variation, that I think something could be damaged on the head. I really
have no idea.

I'm at the point where I'm thinking about just forgoing that slot and making
the 3MK work 
using a different slot. I believe in your R1800 work up, you talked about
being able to 
make this printer last for years by using QTR to designate any three
cartridges for the 
Eboni ink. 

However, after searching here and the QTR Yahoo Group, I have no idea how to
do this. Is 
it possible for a QTR newbie like me to make this happen? It's the matte
black that's 
messed up, so I was thinking I'd have my three be Cyan, PK, and GO.

Paul, any advice would be appreciated.
