Hi everyone,
I have a problem with colour printing, I recently replaced the
colour cartridge, continued printing everything was fine, after about a week
of general printing, it stopped printing colour again, there was no way it
could be empty.
I thought I would put another new cartridge in and now nothing will print at
all, incidentally the black is fine
Printer is an Epson 440 cartridges are Jet-tec which I've used for some
time.
Any thoughts?

Regards

Purplepatcher

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>HI! I just had a similar problem where I printed a
beautiful portrait of my dog, and two days later the printer went
throught the motions and sounds of printing, but only blank paper came
out. I mixed up some ammonia water, 10 percent ammonia, I moved the
cartirdges out as if to replace them, but I pulled them out and
dripped some ammonia water into each cartridge. You'll need a little
pin the depress the valve where the ink comes out of and hold it while
you pour the water in. When you get a little into the cartridges
shake, shake, and shake them. Put them back in and run the head
cleaning utility. Then try printing. I had to add ammonia water 3
times before my printer finally started printing beautifully again. Of
course my printer is out of warranty now . If you still have a
warranty...LET THEM FIX IT!
