Hello all,
Once I got past the three years of warranty on my nearly six year old 9900 it has performed exceedingly well. I give it a thorough cleaning after printing on canvas and fine art papers, and also clean the wiper blade frequently. I try to keep the RH at least above 40% and usually close to 50%, albeit a somewhat difficult task during the Canadian winters. Usually one cleaning per week at CL1 in Service Mode. However, I have recently been dealing with an issue in the green channel, as shown in the image below. I suspect there might be something attached to that part of the nozzle array, and although I have tried several cleanings, including CL2, I haven't yet been able to dislodge whatever it blocking those nozzles. Fortunately, since it is the green channel, I can still print most images without issue. I will try a few more cycles, but beyond that I will likely have to resort to the head cleaning procedure as shown in a video from Inkjet Mall(cannot find the link). It would seem to be a rather straight forward procedure and one that I should probably adopt for future use, but I would like to get some feedback from those of you who might have used this approach to clean the print-head and flushing box on a x900 printer. Your replies would be much appreciated.
Thank you,
Gary
