Sorry can not agree as you get a deflective fire of the head, and this
happens after printing.

You mean the ink bounces of the paper back onto the head? Never heard that
before.


From: Shooter on
No. I didn't explain very well. The paper becomes sticky, this is evident on
white boarders with no ink whatever, it then leaves a residue on the head
which in turn hardens and causes the blocked head. kodak explained it away
by the fact that Epson do not recommend glossy paper with the 2100/2200. My
point is again that paper can cause blocked nozzles and this is shown in a
nozzle test as deflective firing. OK after changing to dye ink there was no
problem with the Kodak paper. Change the paper from Kodak and all is well
with pigmented ink except then you get Bronzing with glossy but no blocked
nozzles.

With the IP4000 I find that the Pro setting works better. Of course, I
use Canon ink that is designed for the printer.
