In short - make sure to clean everything all the way from ink inlet nozzle till damper outlet. I put some detail before in regards to 3800 but principles remain the same. Try getting to dampers, mix/buy a cleaning fluid with a bit of colorant to see the nozzle check (1 color for all is also ok). If you had flow and now you don't, it might be dampers or trapped air. So I was wondering if its safe for me to either fill the cartridge with head cleaner or mix some head clean in with the ink & either let it go through a head cleaning cycle with that or to do some printing then seat a cloth of head cleaner under the print head so it gets attacked from both sides? I also assume that just removing the ink cartridge & squirting head clean down the tubes is a bad idea? or is that possible aswell? So my fotospeed inks are refillable inks. I'm currently printing a few sheets of a magenta scale to see if that will help shift it but I still need to do head cleans as all of the other colours are working but the nozzle check isn't fully clean yet. The one it isn't printing is the first Magenta in from the left on the nozzle check.Īfter leaving head cleaned to soak on a cloth under the print head overnight the Light Magenta did start to work but after a few more head cleans it has blocked itself up again.
I managed to take the head from only printing yellow and a few lines of blacks on the nozzle check to printing every color except I believe Light Vivid Magenta. I have added a external ink tank (which is temporarily a mountain dew bottle until i sort the head problem then i will install a proper permanent solution) & I reset the waste counter. So yesterday I bought an Epson R3000 with 4.5 sets worth of fotospeed ink for £75.00, the problem with the printer was the ink pad needed resetting and the head was very clogged but not totally, the guy was an older gentleman and just couldn't be bothered to repair it himself or pay for someone to do it for him so he bought a new one and sold this one.
