Epson CX5400 Head Clog problem, need help!

Hey Everyone,

I recently ran into a problem with printing black and white documents. I got fading lines so I figured it was time to change the black ink. Well once changed, black no longer prints. Also noticed when printing color and doing a head test, shows missing lines.

Well I now realize the heads are clogged. Been reading through some google searches and it looks like lots of people have this same problem. Bad design it seems. I have pushed the head cleaning maitenance button many times, still no black will come out, and color not printing fully.

Ive found this posting on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISA...6&rd=1&ssPageName=WDVW

Short of paying 11 bucks for a e-mail document that may or may not work, anyone have any ideas or has solved this problem themselves without tearing open the thing? I think the printer just went over the 1 year warranty mark. Epson is so dissapointing =(. Need suggestions!


Thanks
 
Go thee forth and avail thyself of a Canon... Thy savings in inkwells alone shall recompense thy expenditure.

Think my next will be switching back to HP, Kinda pissed this happend like 3 weeks after those dellf 75 off 150 printer coupons too. Had a couple of em, wouldve been really good deal.
 
Hi, I have used and repaired many Epsons. Never have I seen a clogged head even on badly mistreated ones. You may have had a bad new cartridge. Try several cleaning cycles. If the head is truly clogged some Ink Cartridge vendors sell cartridges loaded with head cleaner solvents. Try one of those. Jim
 
Hrmm Jim, have you dealt with the 5xxx and 6xxx all in one series? Ive read many complaints, Well ive tried switching back to the old cart, which still has half ink left ,and same thing. Thanks for the tip
