Epson 4800 printing issues.
projay:
I have an epson 4800. I replaced the photo black cartridge with a different one and now I don't get any ink at all from that cartridge. Did print nozzle check and all colors show up fine with exceptions of the one I replaced. Any suggestions would be great.
Please call if you have one of these printers thansk. 316-680-7300

squeezee:
What did you replace it with? An Epson cartridge?
projay:
No. another one which worked earlier....and even a new epson cartridge doesn't work. It not sucking any ink from that #1 cartridge.
Is there a way to prime it? Jay.
JBLUE:
Run a power clean cycle. It uses a lot of ink but that should prime it.
ZooCity:
If the cart is showing on the lcd on the printer, then yeah, run a power cleaning or two and that should get the ink running.
If not, you may need to reset the chip on the cart.
Switching inks without purging out the lines is typically a no-no. Not all of those inks get along when mixed together and you may have congealed ink goo stuck in the lines or worse yet, clogging the nozzles on the head. It might be prudent to throw a cart full of cleaning solution in there and run the power cleans and then put your new cart in and run more power cleanings. This is going to wast a lot of ink and rack up the print count on your waste tank but may be necessary.
Good luck!
