Sometimes I write e-mails just giving facts and it can seem quite abrupt and rude when I read it back, so I have to re-write it and think carefully about how it might be interpreted... but in a forum situation ...

<t>I don't know if it will help... but I was running an Epson SX218 for a little while (with Artainium inks) and that seemed to work well with the profile for the B40W... only problem for me was that the print head clogged up in no time at all! Couldn't clear it even with magic bullet. My inks were ...

Thanks anyway though. I appreciate you taking the time.

Thanks.

Although now I've noticed how difficult it's gonna be to find an S21, I might not bother... Just been to Argos cos they had one, only to pick it up and notice it's an S22 instead!

<t>I've got to say, I've had nothing but trouble with my B40W. Printing quality is ok but leave it more than a week and you struggle to get the colours out. I've had it just coming up for 1 year and it looks like it's knackered! Before that I had an R265, which was great... no problems until it got ...

Ian

Is that with the d88 profile?

I share your pain... I have the same system and it's so unreliable!
