Once I accidentally found that printing in photo mode doesn’t use black ink. So I can get a dark enough colour for documents by telling the printer it’s using photo paper. (Except one time when I printed on matte sticker paper ond it decided not to print any of the black.)
I thought it was because the black had pigment ink, but even after a thorough manual flush before switching to dye ink, I still get clogged nozzles. I never had this much blockage on the old family Epson, so who knows, maybe this one just hates me.
The only reason I haven’t switched to laser is because they just don’t compare to the res of inkjets and I mostly use my printer for miniatures and other art projects.
I just couldn’t get this level of detail on a laser :(
That’s why you just reset the chip manually.
