I'm working with company procedures for heat treating al-alloys. To begin with, we were mainly concerned with MD-80s and used that SRM for information. Now we want to be able to heat treat parts for Boeings and Airbuses. To our surprise we find different hardness and conductivity values in the...

Hi all,
Can't get the printer, Ricoh 1027 (B/W) to print yellow anything but grayish. Tried everything, but not the right thing. I believe I've had the same problem on R14 some years ago, but I can't remember the fix. All other colors print black.
