Can I print black and white with only 8 of the 9 ink channels of a 3800?
|
I have given up trying to get my new to me 3800 printing on all ink channels..? The yellow appears to be dead.? I have taken it apart several times.? Cleared the yellow ink line, changed the yellow damper and even put a tube on the yellow feed tip of the print head and let ink jet cleaner sit in the tube hoping gravity would at least help the fluid reach and solvate the yellow head.? No darn luck.
Soooo, can I forget the yellow ink channel and use the other 8 inks and develop appropriate QTR B&W profiles? BTW I am making my B&W inks up using Paul Roark's recipes. Thank you Mark |

Hi Mark Unfortunately the printhead has only 8 sets of jets, -- the blacks are switched before getting to the head. So if you are missing Y you only have 7 left to use.? You might ask Paul to recommend which ink to leave?out -- if you make your own curves you have a lot of flexibility.
