Epson Stylus Pro 4800 InkJet (Color printing problems)

Purchased about a year ago. Use for printing sheets that we sublimate on to polyester fabric.

All cartridges are about 1/4th left. At the begining of the week we expereince blobs of ink and color isn't correct. By the end of the week it normally corrects itself. We do the nozzle check and it's missing a lot of lines. Any suggestions other than cleaning print head?

If you do a nozzle check...do a cleaning...then do another nozzle check, you can "read" the patterns to see exactly what the problem may be. If the first nozzle check is missing half, then you do the cleaning, and the second is missing half also, check the pattern of the box to see if the missing nozzles are jumping around. If the pattern is exactly the same, you have clogs. If the pattern jumps around, you are having ink starvation issues, and may need dampers.

What do I have to do if I want to use sublimation ink on Epson stylus photo 1290?Thanks

what you want is not possible. the Epson Stylus Photo 1290 does not use sublimation ink. it is strongly advised to only use genuine Epson ink to keep the print quality of your print head as high as possible.

Photo paper jam on Stylus 4800

Here are some things to try. Place no more that 15-20 sheets in the printer, ensure they are fully to the right of the carriage and the paper is held securely on the left. You may wish to 'fan' the paper to ensure it will flow freely.
