Ok...after talk to you great folks here and a number of others, I was still not convinced of the 130's ability to print an accurate color output. So I cannot use this printer for proofing, although the BOX, manual, documentation, even a paper type all points someone thinking that the color on this thing is DEAD ON...specially with the closed loop calibration, etc, etc, etc. Well FAR from proof accurate ..so far. I am waiting on a couple samples still, although the print makers have warned me of the slight issues still being present.
BUT, I figure I cannot find another 24 inch printer for the price, and I have been getting a few requests (which brings up another question on how I should price the print of a 24x36 top res print)....anyway, So I thought I could use it for just posters for shows or something not color dependant. Spray it with that Ghailbt? spray and call it a day. So as I follow the guide to install this beast(I say that in a good way)...I get to install the ink, then the head as the poster picture ONLY diagram helps me step thru, and it starts doing the head detection when it ends up taking one of the letter size papers I loaded, and spits it out with not print on it, and now a FLASHING head icon on the Black, and the Yellow light blinking. So I read that this could be either a bad connection or BAD HEAD! great! Brand NEW printer, brand new heads, yet a bad head...and I was so carefull on installing and following directions. One of the reason on the HP was the replacable head feature...Now that is a great idea for someone who is afraid of the head on a fixed head system going bad, but if this is a nother wear and tear, consumable part on the HP 130, and it is possible to have bad heads from a new head pack...then WOW...did I get screwwwwwed. On the other hand if I put this in with some weird magic gingle I was supposed to do when installing or after installing...SOMEONE PLEASE SHARE THIS!! So I called Tech support that said 24/7 on most products...after verifying the product, I get the CLOSEd, SORRY reply. If someone might know what I can do to revive this head, PLEASE ADVISE!!! Or should I expect bad production of heads for the future life of this printer...or is this a ONE OFF, it only happened to me...Ops sorry deal!???
