I'm looking for advice with my Epson workforce 610 printer. Three of the colors are printing well (cyan, magenta, yellow), but some of the nozzles are missing in black. I ran several cleaning cycles, Nothing changed. I've also tried running the "head alignment" utility, but that made no difference. Any suggestions?
With epsom ink jet printers the printhead is on the machine, not he cartridge as with many printers. This complicates things!
I suggest you get some cleaner cartridges put them in and run one single cleaning cycle each day until the cartridge is finished. Remember just One cleaning each day,,, this is to allow time for the cleaner to sit and "possibly" dissolve the blockage.
It is about your only chance of salvage.
An Ink jet printers worst enemy is sitting for long periods of time without printing on a regular basis, The ink dries in the print head nozzle!

I find the best way to clean the heads is buy some cleaning cartridges as they have cleaning fluid in them and use them to clean it will take about 10 or more times to clean the heads then put the color ones back in and try again.
Just keep putting it on clean the head don't do a print out till at lest you have cleaned 10 or more times.

It is not uncommon that the head has failed or clogged
- I recommend that you Google for head cleaning information
