| 246520 | 2004-06-21 08:24:00 | Hi Beetle, I don't think you want a lot of ink coming out just now. Make a page with a full stop at the beginning and another 5 or 6 spaces short of the end of each second line. Then you can print that on the "draft print" setting , turn the paper end for end, print again, then turn it over, print again, and finally end for end and print again. Maybe it will wipes it's little nozzles enough to thoroughly ruin the paper and you can enter it in an art contest. A couple of sheets used this way might get rid of enough surplus ink to solve the problem. R2 |

| 246521 | 2004-06-21 09:26:00 | Just use the space bar instead of a character for your test page and use a thicker paper such as card, about twice the thickness of standard paper. | Slim (4633) | ||

| 246523 | 2004-06-21 09:47:00 | LOL i didnt say he lied to me, just im dubious of that white on white bit, how can you distinguish a white line on a white peice of paper???? and Goddie said recently dont go for white print on white paper as you cant see it at all, (cant remember what thread thats in sorry) so makes me think how is it posible??? just saying after all my atrocious past and safety limitations on my comps, im to believe somethat does not sound entirely posible??? ya know? didnt mean to make you think, or say anything to make others think that BT is lying, had never crossed my mind he was lying...... just i do cop a bit of flak about things, including being blonde, so does give it a extra push in the non believing stakes for me.. sorry all. :( beetle |

| 246525 | 2004-06-21 10:47:00 | If the heads are accessible, try to (very gently) wipe them with a soft tissue if you see blotches of ink on them. If you see leaking from the cartridges, then it's time to worry. | somebody (208) | ||
| 246526 | 2004-06-21 10:58:00 | printing out some pages, as suggested has helped, not completely gone of lines but enough not to cause queries. thanks all, now know what to do for next time if ever..... beetle |
