I am jgraham123 I have been pad printing (Tampo) for last 18 years, I recently bought a sublimation set up to increase my business.
I am having problems with the ink jets but not the bulk fed cartridges. I think some of the jets are blocked, does anyone have tips on cleaning these ? Printer cleaner does not seem to work properly.

Which printer are you using? Is it new or used? Some are easier than others to unclog.

My printer was new 18 months ago it is a Epson R1800 with bulk feed system, when I put in orininal cartridges it seems to work OK.
But for sublimation inks it does not work well at all, some of the colours do not print only lines, it is a new sawgrass bulk feed system.
I feel sure it is the original jets that are at fault.

If it prints good with the original cartridges, it would seem that the print heads are OK. I would suspect that there is air in the lines for the sublimation inks.
There are a lot of members that use the Epson 1800 and maybe they will respond with some simple solutions.

Witch ink are you using? If its ArTainiun ink, Are you using an ICC profile?
