Re-manuf. tho JW Also, there is a FAQ entry on the Kodak site, that says when printing black and white, it cannot make "dark black" without adding a tiny bit of ink from the color cart. Which isn't really consistent with some of the examples here. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CMYK_color_model Your "suddenly printing grey" would mean that the color one isn't working at all, and the printer cannot make a good black without it. Paul I think I must have said something wrong. I was thinking it was the black. I wonder what the test pattern is supposed to look like - after I ran the calibration. My pattern is a single page of different-sized boxes in three colors: pink blue yellow gray (a few) The subsequent 'test page' has six larger color boxes: yellow light yellow light blue blue red light red plus one or maybe two thin black lines Just sayin' JW |

There's got to be something wrong with the driver or the printing software. Even if you use B&W, it uses a bit of CMY combined to darken the K. Paul Sorry for delay. I bought a print head for the printer in the hope that it would fix the problem. Even with new cart's it still will not print and black - even black text. Colors are not good - mostly light blue only. Oh well, Thanks anyway JW |
