Default Need help with new printer!!!

I have just bought a used Epson R1800 printer and a continuous ink system from superjetusa.com. I had trouble installing the ink system but got it figured out. I then tried to print on regular paper an the image looks streaky. The black is not dark and it is VERY streaky. I don't know what to do to make it look right. I am wanting to print transfers with this printer.

Please help, any information will be useful.

Thanks

Not a good description on the straky. Do you mean it has banding? Lines? Did you purge the lines. I don't know this system but it sound like you are not getting an even flow of ink. Lou

It is lines. And I don't think I am getting enough flow. The printer seems to be printing to fast also.
