Steve,
If air is getting into a line it is more like an underpressure develops
in that line. Could it be that for one reason or another no ink flows
from the cart to the head? If that head doesn't get ink it can't pull
more ink through the line either. The more it has to print the more the
faulty supply shows. Take out the cart. Shake it thoroughly. Make sure
it is full. Pull some ink out the cart with a syringe. Insert the cart
again. Pull some ink through the line with a syringe from the damper
side. If the resistance is high it could be the cart slot blocked or
even the line. Clean or replace the damper.
Howdy I've not used my Epson 4800 printer for a long while. I fired it up this afternoon and predictably it failed all the nozzle checks. Several head cleans...
I recently experienced this kind of super major clogging with an Ultrachrome Mk channel in a 9600 that hadn't been regularly used in a year and a half. The...

Okay I have now taken the plastic cover off the head and taken a closer look. Not good. I've got zero ink in the K line for at least 9 inches back from the...
Steve, The damper is the white polyethylene part between the head and the ink tube. It has a transparent polyester membrane that keeps the ink pressure equal...
I think it's pretty much safe to say that I have next to no ink in the K line. Where the line disappears from view towards the cartridge is clear as well. If...
Ok I see to be going one step forwards and one step backwards here. I think I have cleared the issue with the ink line - hopefully. I am now trying to...
Have you ever had that feeling when you wish you had never started messing with something? I now see I have lost two tiny black rubber ring seals!! They're ...
Yes, and every single time I've felt that way it involved a ****** Epson inkjet printer with a clogged head. Whole books can be written on the topic and the...

That's very true they are very versatile. I'm also wondering about the way they are made these days. The mechanism on my old Epson 10K never had and still...
Right. And the 9600 head is $700.00-$800.00 plus about $1200.00 to have it installed. If they let you buy them at all at this point. And, they last half as...

Just installed (for the first time) Jon Cone's Special Edition K7s in my 7800. Did a couple of power cleanings and printed a nozzle check. First thing I...
I use Jon Cone's neutral k7 in our 9800 and yes that 4th position is very hard to make out. That's normal, I have found that tossing in a sheet of glossy or...
That would be position 7. Yes, the nozzle check will be very light. However, I print my nozzle checks on plain paper and under a bright table lamp I can ...
It is supposed to be that light! Its in the "yellow" position, right? Its the lightest shade of gray and is part of why you dont see any dots in the highlights...
The auto check patterns are much better for checking that the nozzles are really clear and you can visually also see all the K7 ink patterns clearly without a...
Yes it is super ultra light in the 7th channel. Cone even mentions on their website that you can "barely see it" in the nozzle check . After using this inkset...
