Verse of the Day
Exactly what is "The Gospel"?
"Now, brothers, I want to remind you of the gospel I preached to you, which you received and on which you have taken your stand...For what I received I passed on to you as of first importance: that Christ died for our sins according to the Scriptures, that he was buried, that he was raised on the third day according to the Scriptures, and that he appeared to Peter, and then to the Twelve. After that, he appeared to more than five hundred..."
---1 Corinthians 15:1,3-6 (NIV)
Hints & Tips
Perform a Weekly Nozzle Check on Your Printer
Perform a Weekly Nozzle Check on Your Printer The nozzles on your inkjet printer are so tiny that they aren't even big enough to fit a hair from your head. Because of that, they are by nature prone to clog. Poor printouts that have gaps or streaks are an indication that you have clogged jets.

Modern printers come with at least two utilities to help prevent and fix clogs. The first is what Epson calls a "Nozzle Check." Other manufacturers may call it something else. The photo to the right is an example of a printout from a nozzle check. The top illustration shows a perfect printout, and the bottom one has a problem! I like to perform a nozzle check once a week to make sure my printers are working correctly.

The other utility that printers have is called a "Head Cleaning." This is a process that your printer can perform to unclog a head. Most printers will do an automatic head cleaning from time to time, but if you have a clog, you may have to use this utility. Keep in mind that head cleanings usually consume a lot of ink, and that's why I like to do a nozzle check weekly!

Check your printer manual to find out how to get to these utilities. If you're not sure how to find them, or need help with a nasty clog, give us a call. By the way, I've found several good places to get the generic ink cartridges. Meritline.com is one of them, and Abcink.com is another place I buy my own cartridges. I print tons of stuff and the generic cartridges work great!
