Tonight my Epson stopped printing most colors. I did a nozzle check and only blue shows up. I did a cleaning a few times but it did not help.

I removed the print head and everything came out clean. Re-installed and still wouldn't print.

What else can I do?

check dumpers or cartreges,

Cartridges are full I did put a qtip in them from bottom and felt the movement so it isnt jammed up. I have never had a problem with Ink drying up in two years so I do not think this is the problem.

if one colors works that means fuses are in good condition, if print head is cleaned, i think cartreges is clogued.
or maybe pump and capping station problem, when printer cleans print head see well pump dose work or not.

Pull the plugs on the cartridge end portion. Use a syringe to pull up the ink from CISS. Also try removing the filter on the tanks. If these become plugged it will not allow ink to flow. I replace mine every year now. For a few bucks not worth messing around. It is also possible that the sponges in the cartridges are plugged and in that case replacement is best option. Trying to clean could result in sending large particles to the printhead rendering it useless permanently.

I am going to order a whole new CISS system. I took it out of the old one and put it in my Epson 1400 at the shop. I got the same results. So something must be clogged up pretty good in the cart. It just sucks because I have a job to do.. I will try the girlfriends, canon..and maybe I can print a couple to make it dark
