From: Ron Cohen on 23 Jun 2005 16:00 As usual Measekite is making a global statement that he is totally unable to back up with any facts or statistics. He/she/it states that all printers can clog with aftermarket ink. I have to agree that MK is partially correct with that statement. Why? Users of aftermarket inks are not using OEM ink. Therefore if the highly unlikely clog appears, of course it will be with aftermarket inks since OEM inks aren't being used. OTOH, the same can be said for OEM inks. If only OEM inks are used, then that clog would result from using OEM inks. There is no proof that MK can show which proves OEM is less likely or that third party ink is more likely to clog in similar printing environments. Clogs are primarily a result of letting the printer sit idle for too long a period resulting in dried out particles. This happens regardless of the source of the ink. Often defective cartridges (poor or no ink flow or overfilled) are mistaken for ink clogs. If MK wants any credibility, which based upon his past history isn't likely, then he needs to provide adequate backup for his statements. Saying that third party inks are more likely to cause print head clogs is deceptive since the same can be said of OEM inks. His quoting of dubious "facts/proof/sources" makes about as much sense as claiming that consuming potatoes will be fatal. What's the proof that eating potatoes will be fatal? The answer is obvious. Every Civil War era soldier who ate potatoes during the years of 1861 to 1865 is now dead. -- Ron "Frank" <fb(a)nospam.com> wrote in message news:jeCue.7430$go.4524(a)fed1read05... > measekite wrote: > > >> >> All of the printers can clog but especially with AfterMarket Ink. > > Says who?

From: zakezuke on 23 Jun 2005 16:13 > Paper cannot clog the printhead. There was a batch of Epson Photo Glossy paper that was covered with powder. While I can't say for sure they contributed to head clogs I seem to remember epson offered replacements for a bad batch. I also noticed some "great white" photopaper offered at the dollar store also covered in powder. I can't say 100% that the powder on the paper could lead to a head clog, but it seems reasonable that it's possible.

Printing to Canon photo paper plus Glossy (PP101) comes out perfectly, but printing to Canon Glossy photo paper (GP401) comes out with a slight red tinge. I guess the solution is to change the colour adjustment settings for that paper stock in printing preferences - but I haven't played around with it myself to test it. As most of my photo are on Glossy plus it has been an annoyance only for me sp far - as it means my 'proofs' do not match the finished product.
