130's have the best black in the industry. If it has been sitting for that long, I would chg out the print head and retry everything far as the clunking, there are clips that break which hold the trail cable in place, look for that. syn oil on the rail is the best medicine for all large format printers clean it first with alcohol, like a medical wipe, and only use it for the rail, then put a few drops of oil on either side of the carriage and manually it move back and forth with the printer turned off. Careful of sprays as the encoder is there and don't want overspray to get there if you can avoid it
lastly anyone can order a post warratny service contract for the 130's--its 229.00/year and works just like your std warranty--parts, labor etc good for 12 months and was designed for out of warranty customers. So if you think you need service, buy the contract, get it registered adn then call in service guys. We have used that on some trade ins, as it is transferable to the new buyer. Too cool. Pn is U4662PE lastly, if you havent heard of the new Color Munki form Xrite, read up on it. It profiles paper and calibrates your monitor for 400.00. Better profiles than what the mfg supplies and crazy easy to use. Our favorite tool for the year by far.
