Thanks Hat:-) I will try & play with one of the (bad) carts & see how that goes although I did a really good flush on one & it looked spotless. If all else fails I will just buy another OEM so I have a spare. I will also try the upside down storage & increase my beer intake:-)

I did post this a few days ago in the older thread on my pro9500 magenta problems but no one has responded & I was wondering if it's because of the old thread or I have been sent to Coventry. Anyhow I will repost it in a new thread because it seems that my magenta Pgi9 carts went bad after less...

I know the Hat had success with the Fairy liquid but I soaked my pro9000 head for 4 days in it then another 3 days in Windex & there was no improvement. I did a little test on dried ink by wiping Fairy liquid, Windex & Isopropyl & the only two that moved the ink were Windex & Isopropyl so I...

Well it looks like I owe The Hat a beer, I put my money on the ink being bad causing my strange looking magenta problems because I couldn't believe both magenta carts going bad on me. I have now received my new ink from Precision Colors & the problem remains with both old cartridges, so even...

After a few beers the Colormunki is very complicated:-)

All this looks very complicated when the straight forward Colormunki profiles work great as is.

Yes the cheap plain black frames from the cheap shops work very well for home use & look great on the wall with a matted print in them. I think I get 20"x16" to frame 13"x19" prints for under $15 each.

Gday Roy I was in the shop the other day picking up a PGI9 magenta cart & I had a look at the pro 100, $750 & pro 10, $900. Geez I wish we had a border to drive over:-)

I meant my 9500 problem was bad ink (just reread your post so this is in the 99%) & my two 9000 problems have been the print head.The 9000 head has been cleaned out 3 times with no success & after reading about your week long soak bringing back a head I'm now into the 5th day of soaking mine. I...

It would be unaustralian to make room in the beer fridge but our east facing garage stays a lot cooler than anywhere in the house so I might store the inks in there. I will leave the light in the fridge so I can see my look of anticipation reflected in the bottle I'm reaching for:-)

My problems seem to be mostly in the 1%.

Is Peachy the best looking PK member.

Thanks Mike, Hat & Pharmacist. Yes I remember how you printed four patches on one sheet & used a ruler to guide the munki.I will have to try it one day. Hat, don't forget that I tried two different cartridges before buying the OEM so my money is on the ink but who knows. The daytime temps here...

Thanks Mike I remember you asking about how much was left in the bottle & I forgot to answer but it has been on my mind ever since you asked that's why I went & got a new cart this morning so we could eliminate or incriminate the ink:) Well it was the ink, the new cart of ink is making...

Thanks Martin & Hat. I suppose the ink could be the problem because my 4oz bottles last for over a year & my inks are about that old with about 1" left in each bottle. Yes I do turn the bottles upside down & give them a shake before refilling. I have two of each cart & both magenta carts give...

Gday All I couldn't buy a PGI9 cart locally so I gave one of my magenta carts a rolls royce clean job. Two flushes with cold filtered water, four flushes with very warm water & two flushes with windex I the cart looks perfect. The nozzle check looks about the same as does the print head...

Thanks Hat & Mike. OK I will buy a new magenta cart as that's the only way we can move on if the cart isn't the problem. My hopes are not too high because I don't know what the odds are of two magenta carts giving the same problems at the same time. Mind you one could have been malfunctioning &...

........ use this as a cleaning cartridge to pull windex through the printhead.................. Do I put the cart filled with Windex in the printer & run a clean? I have just washed out a cart with filtered water & the printout is just the same as before although the nozzle check looked better...

............is the direction of the chevron printing from the top to bottom or bottom? I assume the printhead is printing horizontally across the images shown............... Yes it's printed horizontally across the images & from top to bottom. .................have you flushed through the...

Thanks Peter & Mike:-) Some of my shots posted above might give you the wrong idea because they were all taken with my camera & flash so the light spots Peter is seeing is just glare from the flash. If you just concentrate on where I have marked the shots this shows the problem areas, sorry...
