It took three power cleans to get my colors working again - they had complete stopped. At then end of it, my full colors were down by half a tank, and my 3/4 full black is down to 1/4. That's ridiculous, Epson! A year's worth of paint gone in an hour.
Thank you, this video was beneficial. The first run of print head nozzle check showed no gaps for black ink, but nothing was showing for YMC, then I ran a print head clean with the circle icon, the colours still didn't show. I immediately ran a power clean, and when I checked for the pattern, it showed up perfect. I even printed something with vibrant colours, and the colours were very vivid. Also, as a side note, my ink usage was not affected as much.
The print head cleaning utility should allow you to specify the color that is having a problem rather than wasting ink from all of the tanks. Perhaps you can consider adding an automatic mini-clean cycle on some interval to avoid this issue. My cyan is clogged and I've performed several power cleans with no improvement.
@@KodiCustoms Thanks for the fast reply. That may be a step I take down the road. Today I was good with two regular print head cleans. Funny enough, my color is typically very good, it’s my black that likes to plug up. I use mine to print large volumes of restaurant menus that are 95% black and 5% color.
I love this printer. I have had a dozen ink jet printers from HP and I will not buy another. The ECO Tank is awesome. I just had a LOW black tank from the original fill after 22 months and I started to get prints with incomplete back results. So, after 4-5 print head cleans, I decided to put a little more ink. The added ink helped but I still may need another clean or two and or maybe try the POWER CLEAN
How do I hold the control panel in its tilted up position. It is much easier to read in that position, but it will not stay up; it just falls down so that it is flat (flush with the body of the printer.)
I like the printer for the fact that it is economical to print in color with it , however I didn't know that you could not scan onto a USB key with it. dommage!
I had this happen, two of the colors weren't showing and I didn't even know it. I ran a few cleanings in a row and the other colors started showing up.
