[Alt-photo] Re: DIGINEGS EPSON 3800/3880 QUESTION

[Jeremy Moore]

Bob,

Before doing a power cleaning just print a large block of pure black. This will often fix a clog without needing to waste any of the other colors like a power cleaning. This works for every color, though I don't remember the RGB numbers for the other colors off the top of my head black is an easy one :)

Just fill a rectangle with pure black in Photoshop and print it on a sheet of cheap paper. I like to make a long rectangle that's on the edge of an 8.5x11" page. This way I can just turn the page around and run it back through if I need to do it again. Never needed to do it more than twice so far (knock on wood).
