Subject: RE: [PRODIG] blocked nozzles on 1290
A quick tip for any Epson inkjet printer user (tho' it may apply to other inkjets also):
Run a nozzle-check Run a clean cycle Run a nozzle-check
Before we get to the interesting bit... Please don't quote me (!!!). This
test is OUR idea about what goes on inside an Epson printhead, and it needs
to be understood in conjunction with any number of other possible factors
that CAN & DO influence a printer's performance.
* If you have missing or deflected nozzles in the first check, and _broadly
speaking_ the SAME nozzles are missing or deflected in the second test...
then my broad assessment would be to consider the problem is (probably) not
about the delivery of ink to the printhead, possibly more likely some sort
of problem with dust / fluff / dried ink in or under the printhead. Try
cleaning the parking pad and soaking the head in a fresh clean parking pad.
Repeat applications may be necessary.
Very interesting, how does one get to the "parking pad" and where does one get a new one from?
