My inkjet is elite. It will do a perfect nozzle check several days in a row, then when I actually need to print something the next day, the black is clogged.

    Mine would always refuse to print this black and white texture again because it was out of magenta.

    That's why you just reset the chip manually.

    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 :(
