Would a CX3810 work with only 1 black ink cartridge?

Do the other ink cartridges need to be replaced? According to Epson all ink needs to be replaced at the same time.

dear friend

this is fault of the technology of Epson CX3810

it uses little bi of color ink everytime it prints black even though you have chosen use only black cartridges

thanks

Have you changed the ink cartridges recently? A mis-seated new cartridge was sufficient to stop my epson printer working (different model). A check you might run to verify this would be to try to check the ink level from the printer control panel in windows. If the ink cartridge is not seated correctly you will not get an ink level displayed.

hi,i think the problem of ur printer cartridges i is'nt refill....u try to refill it....or clean up ur cartridges.

go to printer properties-- click the utility or maintainence tab-in that.click new cartridge installation process.and follow the instruction.its simple.

are the epson ARC chipsets available on office depot or big retailers?

The printer will never do that, once the cartridge is spent a little divine device inside tells the printer it's been used and spent. You can still print to from the cartridge but it wont warn you when your low on ink, price you pay for not buying a new cartridge.

If you try the print head alignment or head cleaning wizard under the maintenance tab, they may help!

I'm sorry to say, but I just spoke to epson and the printer will not print unless all cartridges have ink. The black ink only option is only used to extend the life of color cartriges. Just another way for them to get you to buy things you don't need.

since I cant see your printer. please follow these steps.
