Default Clogged heads

I have an Epson R1800 with clogged heads. Can anonone out there tell me the best way, aside from send to Epson, to clean them? I tried the software head cleaning option but that does not work.

Are these third-party inks?

Default Re: Clogged heads

Perfrom 3 head cleanings back to back...without doing a nozzle ck. in between......after 3 head cleanings do a nozzle. Do 2-3 sets...see if that will improve things.

When you do a clean, are the nozzle checks different - i.e. do they change at all?

Default Re: Clogged heads

head cleanings and nozzle cks are two different things. When you do a nozle ck, you have the option to do a head cleaning. After you do a head cleaning, you have the option to print nozzle ck or finish. Click on finish. Select head cleaning to do a head cleaning.
