RE: [Digital BW] Epson 3800 and B&W inks headache

David,

 

Very glad to hear you finally got a good nozzle check (in your off-list
email)  no pressure would be a problem - for the one ink channel that wasn't
pressurized. But IF your previous description was accurate about no ink
movement in multiple lines, something in the capping/pumping assembly still
wasn't working right and now is. You didn't mention if you checked the caps
for proper seating. Just pushing down on them can make them flip back into
position. If you don't know exactly what to look for it can be easy to miss.

 

Over and Out.
