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

Fogra checks drying times / color stability for proofing solutions; printer/ink/proof paper. All three brands HP, Epson, Canon qualify within the limits set with their recent pigment inks for wide formats. Look for Fogra cerifications for a specific printer. There is nothing special about proof papers compared to good quality inkjet papers for general use. http://www.luminous-landscape.com/forum/index.php?topic=62872.5;wap2 There are media qualities like backlit foil, etc that will need more time to dry but the usual ceramic, nano-porous papers, etc coated papers have no problems. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Ernst http://www.pigment-print.com/spectralplots/spectrumviz_1.htm 370+ inkjet paper white spectral plots, October 2012: added Tetenal-Kodak, renewed Ilford-Innova-Hahnemühle-Pictorico soon Bonjet-Permajet-FelixSchoeller-Mitsubishi-Kodak(more)
