Eboni 6 + Epson 3880: Clogged Channels a regular issue ?

2015-12-28 by kenlee333@...

A few months ago I experienced a clogged channel which did not respond to repeated cleaning cycles. Following the instructions from an online video, I tried to clean the printer but broke it. I eventually brought the printer to an authorized Epson repair service who replaced several key parts, tubes etc. at high cost.

I thought the moral of the story was to use the printer frequently and avoid clogging. I've used the printer several times a week.

However, the Light Magenta channel is clogged and doesn't respond to cleaning cycles. When I print the Quadtone RIP calibration target, 5 channels print perfectly, but the LM channel is blank.

Is there an inherent problem using Eboni 6 with the Epson 3880 ? Have I missed something ? At this point the only option I can see is to follow the videos again: use some kind of solvent and try to clean the head, wiper etc.

Thank you for your help !
