At this point I am pretty sad. A new black cartridge is not printing well (fails multiple nozzle checks). Grump. Ah, well, more anon. __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

<BEAM!> That's one of my favorites from 5+ years ago. He was a couple days shy of 10 months old.

I haven’t received the cleaning kit yet, but I did get a replacement cart yesterday. Put it in, and while it does print now, it failed 5 nozzle tests in a row, until I ran out of steam.
And my attempt to print a page of mostly text was a disaster. Time out today for a dental implant (kind of keeps me away from the drated printer!), and then I guess I’ll wait to see if the cleaning kit helps. On the other hand, I have never gotten a print out of this printer that was entirely satisfactory. The first set of ink carts never quite passed their nozzle tests. The replacement set was better, but I would still see white streaks occasionally. I thought it was because I was being careless about turning it off when not in use, and it did improve somewhat with the next set when I was more careful. But now this. Maybe I should be looking for a replacement. Got a wonderful ad for a Xerox Phaser yesterday. Laser color has come a long way in the past decade. __________________ [SIZE=2][COLOR=LemonChiffon]::[/COLOR][/SIZE] [SIGPIC][/SIGPIC] |

I recently bought an HP colour laser printer with duplexer and Postscript. The printer cost just over £300 and it came with a full set of toner cartridges that will cost over £200 to replace. I was asked if I wanted an extended warrantee but I thought it was hardly worth it -- replacing the printer would probably end up a cheaper option. |

How do you like the color? You do not use this for your art prints, do you?
