Hi, I have found yur 4800 posts helpful. I have two 4800s here at the Art Academy of Cincinnati, I also have a 9600. We run them with ColorBurst RIPs. I have have had some problems with the nozzles clogging but not as much as you have. My next chore is to tear into the 9600 and clean the inkpad area, have you seen any info on doing this? Have you noticed any improvement with the firmware update?

The new firmware seems to use less ink per cleaning cycle (about 20% less) and it also changes the turn on prompt from offering to run a powerclean to an auto nozzle check - so I think it is worth doing.

I haven't seen anything on the 9600 as I don't have one...
