Hello,
	There seems to be a problem with my DeskWriter, although it may
be extremely minor.
	During a printing session it seems as though the ink cartridge was
running out of ink; ie, only have of a character would print, either upper
half or lower half, or the middle would be missing across an entire
row of text, and the characters weren't black but gray. Ok. So I replace
the cartridge with one the I had bought about 8 months ago, but still in
its multi-sealed packaging, etc. After priming the ink cartridge, I resumed
printing, but still the letters are off-black and there is a hairline
streak of non-print that runs through the center of every letter across
a sentence.
	Anybody experience a similar anamoly? Or is this new cartridge
dried up somehow (remember, it was fully packaged in its airtight
container. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks much!|
