    Paper being marked? Epson 7800

    I'm using roll paper to print my photography but for some reason the paper is coming out marked. It is always in the same place and running in the same direction as the print head. The mark is about 2" inside of the paper. It is coming out with the marked part first indicating that it is not...

    When should I change the ink?

    Hi, Thank you for your help. I will do that and replace when the printer tells me to. I worry because I have already ruined an Epson 9800, it had a print head clog and ended up being only good for spares or repair!

    When should I change the ink?

    Hello everyone, I hope this is not a stupid question but I do not want to damage my printer! I have an Epson Stylus Pro 7800 and it is giving me a low in warning. One of the cartridges is low through normal use that is fine but should I replace it now? The reason I am asking is because it still...

    Epson 9800 not powering up after head clean

    Hi, I have taken the end cap off and checked it. The cable is in place as it should be with no problem. Perhaps it could be the other end where the cable joins the head? Would this cause such a problem as what I am experiencing? If anyone has any ideas it would be handy because if this is a...

    Epson 9800 not powering up after head clean

    Hello Everyone, After having continuous problems with the head of my 9800 I stripped it out and gave it a deep clean as ammonia based cleaners were not unblocking the head. It was a last resort but not the first time I have done this. Head removed and everything cleaned. The whole thing was re...

    Epson 7800 clogged print head

    Hi tastar, that's a great tutorial. I wish I had know that before I took apart my 9800! I have managed to unblock a lot of the nozzles already by following the help above by Stephen. I will track down some Windex now and give it a go. I also checked the other YouTube video's and a couple of them...

    Epson 7800 clogged print head

    Hello Stephen, Thank you for your reply. I brought the printer from a college and said that I would do a nozzle check prior to taking the printer. When I arrived they gave me a printed nozzle check that was clear and told me it was printed a few hours before. All seemed good so I picked up the...

    Epson 7800 clogged print head

    Hello Everyone, I recently purchased a second hand Epson 7800 and have just installed it. The first thing I did was a nozzle check but the printed grid has sections missing indicating a clogged nozzle! I am very new to printing and as a photographer just want to print my own work. What is the...

    Epson 9800 Print Head Printing Nothing?

    Hello Caveman, Thank you for your help. I did that before I put the head back on and extracted some ink. I have managed to print again now but it is only printing in Magenta! Nothing else well perhaps a faint line or two of black but 99% magenta only. Not sure if it is the head or something...

    Epson 9800 Print Head Printing Nothing?

    Hello Toweri, I agree that this should have gone to a repair specialist in the first place. I tried the Epson website but upon entering the printer details I was met with a message stating model not recognized. I entered it into the service section and filled out the details correctly but to no...

    Epson 9800 Print Head Printing Nothing?

    I have taken the head out and checked the ink wells that feed the spikes going into the head. There is hardly any ink in them but a lot of air! I have uploaded an image, just click the link to take a look. This is odd? I do not understand why as the initial problem seemed to be a clogged head...

    Hi Caveman, I forgot to add that to my original post but yes, I did that and there were parts missing from the check. Magenta and blue. Tried different tests / nozzle cleans but no good.
