Title: Help my Printer's Screwed Post by: Honkytonk on Sunday, May 19, 2013, 20:26:41 So I've just pulled out my printer from where it's been stored for a while, and the black's not printing right. I changed the black cartridge (which was out after I printed a page and realised it was crap anyway), have done a nozzle clean, alignment, all the junk. There's not a problem with the colour, just the black.
Here's a scan of my print test sheet. The problem's with the black (right and top text of image) [url width=185 height=138]http://i40.tinypic.com/szylnc.jpg[/url] Printer's an Epson Stylus SX235w Thanks in advance Title: Re: Help my Printer's Screwed Post by: sonicyouth on Sunday, May 19, 2013, 20:29:34 buy a new one

If not follow Sonic's advice.

I'd say you're fucked then. Maybe try printing in super high quality mode.
