Thread: Printer head clogged? Check the pictures, please...

Yep, totally agree.

Choke and Feed instructions: First of all let’s get a couple of things straight. Yon cannot print a white layer using 720 -you need a 1440 x 1440 base layer and if this is too much ink than cut back to about 80% in the RIP using the white ink slider In registering the white ink Layer first you need the set up the RIP under Printer and Ink Configuration to tell the printer which resolution you are using (See pictures below), so you...

Al, I think that the help that has been given to you on this forum has been adequate, but maybe it might be easier if someone helps you step-by-step. I realize that you are in a different time-zone, and am more than willing to further assist you at whatever time is amiable. Please give me your number and a good time to call you via PM. K-

The print head has a very small chamber in it where ink is stored after it comes from the damper (a larger chamber).
