Digital BW, The Print

Hi I'm using an Epson 1430 with EB6 standard inks; my problem : I fill all the cartridges but… two days later, without printing, the black and "yellow" cartridge are empty???

Should I change the cartridge for new ones or is there something else that I'M missing?

Many thanks

Shut down and restart. If that fails, run a cleaning cycle. The 1430 is just
strange that way. Mine does the same thing,

Subject:  [Digital BW] emptying 1430

Thanks Paul!

Found it very odd too! Since this 1430 never leaked (nor the cartridges) I was a bit puzzled by this "empty cartridge" problem.

I refilled the two offending cartridges; I printed  about 5 11x19 prints; I'll leave the printer "On" as usual and see tomorrow morning what is the level of the two cartridges.

I recall having the black cartridge leaking a bit one time but afterward, everything went back to normal.

I cleaned the "pads" as per video instructions from Inkjet Mall; I saw that the pad underneath the print head array was full of ink but never thought that it would be from emptying cartridges?!?

I'll see tomorrow

Thanks again

When I have the reservoie plugs out for filling a couple of my carts will leak badly unless I have the outlets plugged with one of the metal plugs MIS at least used to have/sell.
