If it doesn’t work the first time, retry the nozzle cleaning a few times - the do a power cleaning - followed by a couple more head cleanings. That worked for me!

[@brc.heaven]

This worked for me too, thanks for the added tip

[@PICANTESOCIETY]

Hella work thanks my guy I owe u a drink

[@user-kq9dn7pv5r]

Me too

[@qualitymax9295]

I had to run print head clean 4 times, each time improved and is working fine. 👍🏻

[@oceannegum756]

You do it the Cleaning step as much as you need it to take it back the Black.
After 4-5 times it’s works !

[@AngelaCivitello]

thank you!!! I have the same ET 2800. I have it unplugged right now and am waiting the 5 minutes. THis was so helpful, and easy to follow. Im hoping this helps. I have converted it to sublimation and havent used it as much as I should. I typically love it and dont want to buy another one. THanks again!!!!

I had tried the nozzle cleaning a few times before finding this and reading the comments about cleaning the nozzles about 4 times. I then retried cleaning the nozzles another couple of times and was over the moon when it eventually worked. I would definitely advise to persist with the nozzle cleaning for a minimum of 4 times.

Fix #2 worked for me! Black is better than ever! Thank-you!

[@mireilledufour5159]

Thank you! Cleaning the nozzle worked for me.

[@dianeadriaenssen2079]

[@ms.tocarra5604]

Thank you so much for this video very clear and detail I follow your exact instructions and it worked. Thank you

I have the ET-2750. The nozzle test comes back perfect. But when I actually print out anything it prints without cayan and I think without black because it's all orange -browns.

[@lilianarojas3258]

Thank you so much. It was very helpful

[@younass5889]

Thanks

[@joycenicholls6603]

Be aware. The power cleaning used approx half of my black ink before it stopped. Seems the fact that it stopped meant that it was finally assured that the black ink was not contaminated. It was horrible watching so much of my black ink literally drain away. I have no idea where it went. Prior to the "cleaning", the black ink supply was about a mm lower than the other three colours (which I never actually used); now it's half as much as what's in the other three colour tanks.

#3 worked. for me. Resetting! Thank youuuuuuu

[@gramnet]

running the power clean did the trip in my ET 4850.

[@JAWSMom824]

I have epson ET-3850 and i printed about 80 pieces and printer start super slow to print next paper about 15 minutes

[@WesleyGormley]

lite and screen do not come on but only prints parts

[@dravendesignco]

None of these worked for me. It still prints black as blue and purple as blue.

[@AA-sc7tf]

My black on my nozzle check sheet is non existent but whenever I print a purge sheet it is coming out grey

[@riggmeister]

I think it uses the other colours to produce grey, I think a lot of black colours have mixture of black ink and blue and maybe others. Therefore I suspect black is not working at all. You can test by changing from greyscale to monochrome in printer settings to see if anything is produced.

[@michelefisher5171]

Now it doesn’t work to print at all

[@ejay7618]

😮

[@MateoGoogzPlays]

How is resetting to factory settings fixing the clogged ink issue? You should suggest restraint the computer while you are at it... What a waste of time...

[@angelabritton]

because the software is corrupted or needs updating which is affecting which colours print. no need to be rude

[@Dualseele]

Thank you very much for helping
