Well, it was interesting to me anyway. I have the Epson R1800 of which the Epson 2800 (I think) is a big brother or sister (the other does better B&W prints). I think they are up to R4800 or something now, but not too different from what I have.
I hadn't printed any photos for months and months and months -- I know bad idea with an Epson. Although I had a previous Epson I could let go, and running the clean print head function it would be alright. So I went to print the other day and boom, I got a B&W print. (I decided to test print first.) I double checked, everything was set to color so I ran a couple more, B&W, B&W. Luckily I had some unopened color cartridges, I installed them, ran clean print head, bingo, a color print. (I did have to do two nozzle checks and then run one more print to get a decent one, but no more than that.) It was sort of amusing and, frankly, I didn't know it would do that if unused for a long time. So I guess it's just the color inks that clog up? Anyway, just thought I'd share this little discovery in the big world of digital photography/printing/etc. Later, Marnie :-) (Warning: Don't try this at home, if you have an Epson print more often.) --------------------------------------------- Warning: I am now filtering my email, so you may be censored. **************Worried about job security?
