I have an HP Deskjet Plus printer that is spurting out too much ink. It causes the paper to become soaked to where it crumples up. I've replaced the ink cartridge but it's still occurring. I'm trying to print out scanned images from a complete PC scanner. The image comes out extremely dark in some places yet light in others. Has anyone out there come across a similar problem???? Thanks in advance.... Luis F. Albisu

We had good success with a deskjet running with somewhat rough 25% rag content paper (that paper is expensive, too). The output was noticeably better. Higher rag content than 25% seemed to cause too much spreading. - Geof -- geof@aurora.com / aurora!geof@decwrl.dec.com / geof%aurora.com@decwrl.dec.com
