Thanks Chris.
Today, I did read about clogging heads in specifically, earlier 9900's. I had an 9600 since Nov of 2002. Did have an occasional clog. And the 9600 dedicated to matte black
ink served my and my clients very well......
This 9900 was built, or assembled June 28, 2012, a Thursday. So, I do hope issues have settled down, and improvements have been made.
I am so used to 24 hour to 48 hour 'dry down time', I'm not bothered by it. My question is, how can any of these manufacturers
claim what they claim? I don't know.
And, the darkroom? I started my darkroom experience in 1948.
Cheers
