EPSON Stylus Photo 2100: head cleaning problems

[MandAnet]

Hello, I have a EPSON Stylus Photo 2100. when I do a head clean, only the last of the black shows up on the nozzle check pattern.

As the order of the nozzle check pattern is different from the cartridges in the printer how do I know which cartridge has a problem?

Also the ink monitor indicates there is ink in each cartridge (and they have recently been replaced).

the cartridges do not contain a print head, therefore replacing them will not likely solve your problem unless it is out of ink, if they are refilled or non-epson inks, this is likely. Try a few more head cleans, if nothing changes then you have a blocked head or the purge unit is not working properly.
