All black cartridges setting

linderprinting · Apr 29, 2013

Hello,
I own an Epson Artison1430.
I have all black cartridges installed; however, I am not sure what the setting is to tell the printer that every cartridge slot is black.

Please advise

linderprinting :

As far as I am aware, you have to match the cartridges that were installed. You have to have the colour cartridges. May I ask who told you that you can run it with only black cartridges installed?

I may be completely wrong and there is a model that supports this, but usually they do not.

Yea, I agree with "anti-painkilla" I've never heard of anyone doing this either. As far as I know (and this applies to all Epson printers) You have to replace the ink with only the color and cartridge that was designed for that slot.

You can use aftermarket ink cartridges but, again it has to be designed for that printer model and that color slot.

The only way you could use all black ink is if you were to refill your OEM carts with all black inks (you would also need a chip resetter) or do the same with aftermarket refillable ink cartridges or CISS (continuous ink supply systems) w/auto reset chips.

I'm sure you have your reasons for trying this. If it is to save money, read my tutorial below in it's entirety. There are huge savings to be had just not the way your trying to do it (if that's your goal).

I bought them from a silk screen supplier who uses the same printer & process. This is for printing film for the silk screen emulsion process. The 'black' cartridges are just regular color cartridges filled with black ink. This is so I can fill every cartridge slot with black ink because this is all I will be using on this printer. I just thought there was a setting through the Epson Monitor but perhaps it's through AccuRip.

I was right, this is through AccuRip. This is software that processes the seperations required for silk screen printing.
The idea is to use ALL black ink cartridges if this machine is dedicated (like mine) to printing film.

Thanks anyway guys
