My ink is pigment, maybe when you use dye ink clogs don't appear that...
Hi everybody, it's more than time for an update,
Probably in both sets of cartidges i had a faulty one with an airleak ( different colour), so after great advice from a major Printerknowledge member i decided to change to Inktec Powerchrome K3 ink and refillable cartridges, and everything works...
@pharmacist,
i learn something new every day :)
So the way i read this link, if i order the Inktec Powerchrome K3 ink, my best option is to go for the Hybrid photo black ?
Many thanks for the usefull info

have to study that...
Depending on the driver/quality settings you may have the effect that a missing nozzle is covered up by multiple print cycles - the nozzle check should tell you whether all nozzles are actually printing.
will do a nozzle check when i come home from work after 10:30 pm today, have added 2...
