Summer heat and inkjet printers

Your ink head is clogged with ink that turn into wax.
I suspect you always turn off your printer when not in use ?

Back home, my inkjet worked in 30+ C and humidity near 80% without any
problem.

But would it have worked in 30+ heat and humidity in the low 20's ?
Back a few years ago I was working in Dalby and we had all sorts of problems
with inkjet printers getting their nozzles blocked. On one particularly hot
day (40+) we had cartridges on the shelf bursting. The Canon's of the day
(BJC600) in particular had big problems with the ink in their cartridges
starting to boil at those sorts of temperatures, and it would bubble up out
of the cartridges inside the printer.

Ink drying up in printers isn't a problem exclusive to a few makes / models.
We had a very expensive HP that was networked.  If no one sent a job to it
for a couple of days, one or more of the colours would get clogged and
require some manual intervention to get it going again.

One solution was to remove the clogged cartridge and clear the dried ink
from the outlet with a wet cotton bud.  Worked for us everytime.

Cheers,

Bullshit.


I dont print at anything like that rate, lucky if its once a month and
I dont have to manually intervene at all with a Canon BJC 4310SP



Dont need to bother myself.

A predictable response.  Now where's your counter evidence?  You may have
had no problems with your Canon BJ, but that is just one of hundreds of
currently and recently available models.

The HP model I used is just one example (I can give you plenty of others).
It was used to print mostly colour transparencies and had a heater element
in it to aid in ink drying.  It was more prone to clogging up in this mode
than if the simple plain paper printing mode was used.  Never the less, a
long weekend break usually meant the first printed sheets sent to the
printer had less than impressive print quality, often requiring someone to
remove the ink cartridges and de-clog the feeds.

I have an Epson Photo EX (A3 printer) that, (if not used for a while) often
has to go through a protracted head cleaning routine before getting a really
good print out of it.





Lucky you.

Your shit in spades.



Below, fuckwit.


You quite sure you aint one of those rocket scientist fuckwits ?



How odd that we dont get much of the problem being discussed
here, with a very wide variety of printers, with 10 days over 40C
and humiditys down below 10% being not that uncommon.

The problem is indeed mostly seen with just SOME makes and models.



Says sweet fuck all about how common that is with other printers, fuckwit.

No wonder even telstra gave you the bums rush.

No luck involved, it was just designed properly, fuckwit.

<snipped speeds irrelevant drivel>

Speed has one printer that works, so the rest of you are all fuckwits
with no idea.

Lying. Again.

No wonder even telstra gave you the bums rush, right out the door.

Rod on Speed,

Why do you even bother lurking here?

You are as boring as bat shit and seem to have that hotkey stuck AGAIN !!!

Why even bother replying to a thread if you have nothing useful to
contribute?

Your inane one word replies e.g. "Nope", "wrong", "liar" etc provide no
useful information to the OP and only serve to reinforce what most have come
to realise - you are just an arrogant, self opinionated and rude individual
with obviously nothing better to do all day (and night) but post crap to
this and
numerous other newsgroups.   You need a real job to occupy your time.

For God's sake at least come up with something new to write.  Besides you
can't even get the capitalisation on proper names right.  Fail primary
school English did you Rodney?

Ohno, dont you know what you've done ?

You've put 40 cents into the Cirque De Usenet entity, known as the RodBot.

Google "RodBot" + usenet.

(He's proud of that btw... scary huh)

Well, you kinda get the impression that Rod's responses are both predictable
and quite possibly automated.  Any small snippet of useful information must
be sorted from the mounds of bovine excretory garbage that seems to flow
endlessly from his keyboard.   Sigh......

I'd wish he would just have an original thought once in a while to break the
monotony from his usual drivel.

Some terminal fuckwit pathological liar claiming to be
attempted to bullshit its way out of its lies in message
and fooled absolutely no one at all. As always.

Pòg Mo Thòin was correct.  Rod on Speed is indeed a Bot - a RodBot - what a
laugh.  I wonder if most of his 10G download limit goes on "reading" usenet
messages.

Seriously folks are the tax payers of Australia subsidising Rod to stay at
home to troll the net?

Give the guy a chance, i get a chuckle out of it.

Mine does, and in below the 10s too with humidity.



Dont get that myself.



Never had that either.



Never seen that either at those temps which are routine every summer here.

Nope.



Nope.

Wrong.


Wrong again.

Anyone who understands anything about printers will know that certain
combinations of conditions between ink, humidity, temperature and paper
types will affect print quality.
