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.

Yes, we've won our share of awards, and yes, I've tested stuff and read the scientific papers, but ultimately take everything I say with more than just a grain of salt! So if you are looking for trouble, just do as I say or even better, do something I said years ago!

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

Darryl, have you changed inks recently?
That rug really tied the room together, did it not?

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