Nowadays, it shouldn't make too much of a difference if the printers is transported vertically. I don't think that should be the cause of the red tint. Having said that, you can run the maintenance tool and do the printhead calibrations, color calibrations, maybe an image quality test. Just to check the status of the current printheads and ink. Before you totally change them. I've had a 90 stand for more than 6 months and it printed just fine.

Thanks Teddy. I have replaced about 3 of the printheads (Black, magenta, and yellow I think). I have not replaced the ink, but they are each 3/4 or more full. They did all sit for about 6 months with no use, and the printer did get moved across country by a moving company, so perhaps the printer was shipped vertically while in it's box... Maybe I should replace all the ink. Hate to toss them... --- In HPDesignJet_ Printers@ yahoogroups. com, Teddy Dako <[EMAIL PROTECTED] ..> wrote: > > Hi Mark, > > Well, that gives a new dimension to the issue.
