My first batch of Archiva was at 1:6 dilution.
Second batch was at 1:9.

Neither batch received very good agitation, and
that may be part of the problem.

I noticed a lot of those "frazzled" nozzle-
checks that John N. or someone else described.
All bands are there, but a number of them are
a bit fuzzy.

I don't agree that the 1160 prints "light" --
that's not what I've observed, at least not
with the Epson driver and Epson inks.

I *have* observed that it's a thirsty little
bugger.  I barely get 20-25  8x10" sheets
from a pair of carts, and the black and color
carts always "go" at the same time.  The carts
are a lot more expensive than the ones on my
700, though they're no bigger.

This works out to $1.75 a page for ink on
the 1160, as compared to about $0.70 on my 700.
Bah, humbug!
