So what you are saying is... I definitely need a new head?

Done. And it looks great.

Here are some pictures of the data cable swap. 1) File: Magenta -> Head: Black 2) File: Black -> Head:Magenta 3) File: Black -> Head:Magenta, After adjusting media comp. 2 & 3 are better than the original but as you can see they aren't perfect. Magenta normally prints perfect.

I am back with a little more testing done. Your right lists are great. To go along with it I will also show what I have done and the results. Original Black printing badly (As pictured in original post) Magenta prints good Swapped Magenta and Black data cables File Color: Black -> Head...

ok... i had a yellow that was near end. swapped out the yellow and the red problem went away... you know you would think i would be able to count on something consistent, other than consistently screwed. So anyways back to the black problem.

Custom is a nice way to put it. I guess that makes sense if you are just using the acid resistant ink and no cmky... I started my print that i needed to get done. I have be messing around with media comps cause i notice it was banding a little. I got it all set up printing perfect then i leave...

not yet... I am working on a very large project that needs to be done before the end of day... Yeah the black will reach the magenta i am sure but the magenta wont reach the black head... So would i just hook up the black lines and leave the magenta lines dangling?

I have to take back the magenta printing good. It does print better than the black but not a good as it does without the normally(with out data cables being swapped). I will try to print some pictures when i get a chance

Hey sorry for the slow response. When I printed a file containing only magenta and through the black head(#2) it did print better but not perfect... To make it more complicated, in general I do get varying results when printing just the black cartridge. Very rarely I will get something...

Doh! I had just swapped them back! :) K, I printed a magenta file through the black head. It turned out grainy as well. but not as bad as before???

oh and i wanted to say your acid stuff is very cool! nice portfolio!

I made the switch from magenta to black and black to magenta... The magenta acting as black printed perfectly! So that means that it isn't the slider board and it isn't the data ribbon, right? So we are to the ink and the head right? would you suggest to flush the lines then use new cartridges or???

Just ignore the reference to the rip... I am sure that isn't it. I have actually had to turn off all the profiles to get it to just print black. I have been trying to print on 3m silver. If you use black regeneration it makes everything very green, but that is besides the point. :) I am curious...

JV3-160SP How I came upon this problem is a about a year ago I was trying to just print black with just the black cartridge. I had noticed a little print quality loss in the blacks with black regeneration but nothing to cause to much concern. What I found is that my rip was printing CMY in...

I am using postershop ver 6. The only print options I have are 720-VarDot 360x540-VarDot and 360x1080VarDot. (attached screen shot) No just the Black We have it always running uni directional. I wasn't able to do this. The ink lines wont reach the black inputs. You Assume correctly. Whew! :)

Here are the prints. I am not sure what non-variable/variable rips are. Do you mean that I should print them without profiles affecting them? The print I did was with no profiles enabled. Thank you for your help so far! :) There was a little overspray. On past print rich in black there has...

I was hoping not to hear that. Attached to the original is what it is supposed to look like. Thanks, John

Hey guys, I have a JV3 that doesn't like to print black. Here is a sample image that shows what is happening. I am just printing this image with the black cartridges. I have been having this problem for a while but have been able to side step it. But now I have some time to put some more...

SWEET :U Rock: Cleaned the strip and she prints like a dream. Thank you All for the help, John

I feel a little stupid... Does the encoder strip run the length of the print area? Or is it physically attached to the carriage? I have attached a picture. thanks, john
