[QUOTE="websnail, post: 217755, member: 15726"] Okay... Quick primer... When you print directly from a file like a word processor, PDF with defined text, etc... the printer will use pigment black to do the printing as it has the text encoded separately and can use the clear/crisp properties of pigment inks to your advantage. When you print an image and something web pages (although I haven't checked if that's still the case) it treats the text as part of the image and doesn't differentiate or use the pigment black specifically for text. Instead it uses all the other dye ink colours to create that "black". When you copy the printer acts in the same way as an image, as that's what it's copying. It doesn't distinguish the text from the rest of the scanned image so again it'll use all the colours to create the "black" as part of the image. So, a very long way of saying that the printers Pigment ink cartridge is not feeding ink. [/QUOTE]
