Anyone have there 3000 print black ink blobs, I changed out my black print head and it printed art fine on one sep and now it won't print anything but  black square's or blobs of black ink.

from what I understand, mixing the two different ink types can sometime cause the ink to gum up.  Not sure if that's it, but it might be.

yep, dye and pigment are not supposed to play well together.

Darryl, have you changed inks recently?

Yup I ruined an office printer that way. Still printed ok but it sounded like nails on a chalkboard
