The occasional missing grid lines are typical of tiny clogs in the print head for your pigment black ink. The bottom missing portion is either a clog or an irreparable failure. Soaking and flushing the print head will tell, but it may require several days. If the missing bottom half begins to print out again, even in bits and pieces, then you probably have only a clog and may eventually remove it. Patience and time are key.Johnmorag said:http://www.nifty-stuff.com/forum/uploads/8997_canon_mp130_nozzle_check.jpeg
As requested.
This is the Canon MP130 nozzle check image. It is easy to see that there are one or two gaps in the grid, but the most important thing is that the bottom half of the grid is missing, in the same way that it shows up on a black print job.
What method(s) and material(s) are you using to soak/flush?
