I'm beginning to see the wisdom of not letting my printer sit idle for weeks on end when I'm away or not interested. I understand there are some programs out there that will send a shot to the printer every X days. Can anyone name or recommend such a program? I assume a good exercise print is actually a color chart, yes? -Lew Schwartz [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]

Hi Len... I've been printing at least a "Print a Day" for 3.5 years now. Not only has it kept my printer in good shape, but it's helped me improve my skills a lot. You might consider printing yourself...as opposed to having a computer program print for you....could be a win-win. -Jim Coffee- On 25 July 2013 17:05, Lew Schwartz <lew1716@...> wrote: > ** > > > I'm beginning to see the wisdom of not letting my printer sit idle for > weeks on end when I'm away or not interested.

I'm sure it would help my skills, too. Sometimes, I'm out of town and others I'm busy taking pictures. -Lew Schwartz On Jul 25, 2013 10:00 PM, "Jim Coffee" <groups@...> wrote: > Hi Len... > > I've been printing at least a "Print a Day" for 3.5 years now.

I tried to find it but could not. Google searches it better than the LuLa search does. Cybis/Luc Busquin made it, I see, first it was discussed in the middle of that endless thread: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=61585.800 and it evolved to this thread: http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?action=printpage;topic=75383.0 Where this link is given by Cybis: This method (http://lucbusquin.com/content/purge-all-epson-x900-ink-channels) will exercise all nozzles in all channels exactly and equally using QuadtoneRIP on x900. Must be possible to use it for other QTR supported models. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst Dinkla http://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm December 2012: 500+ inkjet media paper white spectral plots.
