"Yes Kelly those colors on the left are the results of the head strike. You knocked out those nozzles. By chance, the ink dried and the head soak will remove, but more than likely not in your instance.
If this was a tech call, then I would be…"

"The Head jammed when it was returning home. The columns shifting to the right is the indication. If you followed the steps you listed and soaked for 48 hours, checking after 24 to refill fluid drawn into the nozzles, then you need a new head to fix.…"
"You are hurting yourself with the colors.
You need to use RGB or pantone!
Banding is result of missing nozzles or the calibration being off

"Hard to read but I will explain what I am looking for and why:
On media gap: That affects inks not lining up - thus could cause graininess since dots are side by side instead of on top - the simple checks the average and the details check each head.…"

Each picture will have a triangle - I will need the triangle plus a few readings on each side (the…"
"Yes ink and cleaning fluid is corrosive. If it gets to the electronics, it will surely break the head. If you are sure your fuses are good, (continuity check) and the black/cyan are working; then non the SP you can swap ribbon cables. If head is…"

Inobu were using terms like Automatic Private IP Addressing (APIPA) and I was like WTH. Life needs to be simple and the more time I have showing and not connecting is the best for me. I found no problem in setting a static IP address on the network card, and making VWs and the VC have the same address on…
