chance

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. The streaks are like lines. I thinks the printer is printing to fast. it seems like I am not getting enough ink flow. 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

You've got either air in the CISS lines, or it's not primed, or the printer, being used, probably has a whole lot of head clogs, etc..
If you're technically inclined, I would open the printer and clean the wiper blade, the spitting station, and then run a few head cleanings and nozzle checks until you get a perfect nozzle check.
Who knows what condition the previous person left that printer in. Epsons need the most amount of babysitting of any printer.
