gary_ferguson1 Posted June 12, 2010 Share Posted June 12, 2010 <p>At least once a week I want to run a print through an Epson 3880 to ensure the nozzles stay clear. Can anyone recommend a suitable test print that will adequately work all the inks and possibly show up any other calibration/printer issues?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do live in the usually moist Pacific northwest though. I usually print every week or two. The print quality in both color and black and white is quite incredible. <br /> <br /> Recently it was suggested to further decrease the chance of a clog, that I add a few ounces of water to the maintenance cartridge monthly. I've done so for a few of the wettest months in years here in Oregon and I've still not had a clog. We'll see, but it is certainly simple to do. </td> </tr> <tr> <td ><br /></td> <td align="right"> <a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/newreply.php?do=newreply&p=598608"><img title="Reply With Quote" src="http://www.largeformatphotography.info/forum/images/buttons/quote.gif" border="0" alt="Reply With Quote" /></a></td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
