Epson R340 ink issue

Howdy,

Bought a Continuous Ink Supply system and that was my first mistake. I've removed it and put back the original print cartridges but now there's just no ink coming out. I have tried running the print head cleaning, reinstalled the software, used the SSC Service Utility to try and reset the printer but it's still the same. I'm wondering if I have to purchase a whole new one because it seems like it broke it somehow. There's barely ink coming out, it's just a faint hint of it. I've let the printer set for hours hoping that it would come back but nothing. It's like the print head isn't able to put out the ink anymore. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

    I'll give it a try and let you know how it goes. Thanks a bunch
    Jay!

    Well, that didn't do the trick. I have put the original Cartridges back in and now I get the Service Required, See your manual for details.
    Is there a way to reset the printer through some key combo?

Purchase some inkjet head cleaner, remove all the carts and using a refilling syringe, gently inject the cleaning solution into the bay where the spikes are for the cartridges. Let it sit with that in to soak over night, and then run several cleaning cycles on it to pull the ink through. The CISS (continuous ink) shouldn't have damaged the heads in anyway. We sell them at work, and have never had one damage the heads, although they can be tempramental sometimes!

    In that case, your print heads have gone. You can either replace the print heads, or the printer. Sorry the other solution didn't work

Ink pad resetter for epson L110.. please help me..

The L110 needs the WICReset utility to reset the waste ink counter and a key to do that too.
I believe the WICReset tool will also reset the ink levels without needing a key so if you can source the necessary bulk ink locally you should be able to get printing again.

Changed from cartridges to cont. ink system. Now

Hi Dave,

Chances are the problem is that you haven't removed the travel plugs that allow air into the reservoir part of your CIS. This is vital because the air needs to replace ink used up in printing and if it can't do this the air creates something of a vacuum that holds back the ink.

Also worth checking that you haven't got any crimped (folded) tubing or clamps that are still engaged that shouldn't be.

Hope that helps..

Epson d88 printer just floods the paper with ink

Sounds a lot like you have an ink pressure issue and at a guess you are using a CIS (Continuous Ink Supply) system.

I would refer back to the documentation that came with your printer and make sure that you are not overpressuring the printhead with the ink reservoirs set too high or some part of the priming process has been missed.

More information about your printers setup would definitely help ID more specific issues that could be causing this.
