Title: Unclog / purge Fuji DX100
Post by: Macphoto on April 23, 2020, 10:46:40 AM
I've a question re creating an unclog schedule for a Fujifilm Frontier-S DX-100. The Fuji inks don't match up with the colour options in the scheduler. There's pink as well as magenta, and sky blue as well as cyan. How do I ensure that these nozzles are exercised in a purge?

Hi Vincent,
When you open the Unclog tool screen, there's a red V for video. You will notice that Mike tells us to uncheck colors that we just do not have; but lets us know that all other colors will be purged.  Most printers will have ink color cartridges that are not specifically listed.
For example, I have a Canon pro 100 which has Magenta and Photo Magenta; Cyan and Photo Cyan, and 3 grays and a yellow.
I specifically Uncheck Blue, Green, and Red because I don't have those specific cartridges. But Qimage will  run unclog on all others in the ink block. Not to worry. Run a sheet, and then look at the print. I think you will see them all.

Fuji simply uses different names: pink is just photo magenta and sky blue is photo cyan.  So the ones to check for that printer are yellow, magenta, cyan, and black/gray.

Regards,
Mike
