Now one of the (7 or 9, I don't know for sure) impact rods doesn't seem to move far enough in to cause impact. I took the little print head off, and cleaned the hell out of it, and this didn't seem to make any difference. I also made sure the WD-40 didn't get all over the place. Now, I get a nice dark output, but one row of dots is always missing. I should add that it was starting to miss the one row before I reinked (re-solvented) it. Do I need to replace the head????? :-( Thanks in advance, -- Chip LeMar 201-957-2616 Cute quote goes here. I don't have one yet.
