I put a MS in it and no help. I ended up replacing the print head...grrrrrrr....

I haven't messed with it. We have a big event coming up next weekend, and I will let thet printer sit until I get back. I have been just making my blacks into 100/100/100/100 CMYK since I started having the problems, and it seems to hide most of the banding. It's getting me by until I get it...

Whats the best place to order the MS from for my printer? Anyone's customer service horrendous and I need to stay away from them, or anything like that?

I understand...I just like to know the howfor's rather than just tossing parts at something. That's why I said that in the beginning. I will get a MS for it, but I really would like to know what wears out in the thing...to determine if the $100 part would give me the same results as the $500...

Gotcha. Would there be any benefit to running the solution through it at this point, as if we were to be putting it in long term storage?

Coming into this as a total newbie...what is the point of the cleaning cartridges? I recall putting them in it when it was new and it evidently drew a bunch of solution out of them...then we put in the ink cartridges. To my knowledge, though...we have never been asked to reinstall the cleaning...

Thanks, Sean! I did that for at least 4-5 cycles last week. No change in the print pattern, besides the occasional move one way or the other with the missing nozzles. The other 3 colors are 100% fine.

3 years old, used a couple times a week or so. I'm missing 10-12 nozzles, all on the black side. I have cleaned the whizz out of it with the "strong" cleanings, and also soaked the head on the cloth saturated with solution. No love. Same thing. The missing heads will occasionally "move" one...
