This AM one of the 3880's shows one small bar section in one of the 14 diagonal dark cyan pigment ink lines as a blank space (One nozzle?).
Did a purge pattern with Qimage on cyan, and another nozzle check from the printer's menu, and the same spot is still missing. I'll wait a few hours before trying again as it sometimes self-heals with a long time passage.
However, would you wait for all nozzles to be perfect (if it can be done) before making a custom ICC profile on a new paper, or would it matter that much? I need to do a Moab sample pack of maybe a dozen papers along with some Akagami papers and don't know if I should wait for the nozzles to be all printing, or if one or two won't matter for ICC profiling. If they do begin firing all mid-way through a bunch of different paper samples if it would matter in the end?
Tia.
