Hi all.

I've an Epson 830 photo printer. But when I print a colour is missing - if i
do a check of the nozzles where each colour is printed in a striped row, one
colour seems to be missing completely. On the strip that prints, its the
second colour from the left, which should be a blueish colour. All others
print perfect, but this is missing completely. This happens on official and
compatible inks. I've tried hundreds (well it feels like hundreds) of 'clean
nozzle' cycles, all to no effect.

Presumably there's some sort of blockage - how can I remove it?

Thanks a million for any advice.

Send a private emaill to Arthur Entlich at <artistic@telus.net> and request his
instructions for cleaning the system.

Nowhere did you say that it was a new cartridge.

I was having similar problems with my Epson 1290, but it was always the
Black Cartridge.

What seems to have solved the problem, for me, was taking the Cartridge out,
giving it gentle shake, and putting it back in. That seems to clear the
Air Lock or whatever.

I have no doubt Art will be able to give you a much more technical answer.
