I think I got it to recognize all the cartridges but one it has lights on top of ink housing they all went of but one so either that's the only one it finds or that's the only one it don't find what do you think

I purchase blackmaxx in bulk from Ryonet. $130. Get a ciss from hotzone360 or aaadealalways eBay user. Empty they are about $35. And for any one that will tell you a ciss will cause your printer to clog over refillables. Ignore them. Unless a ciss has a leak there is no more of a chance of a clog than with refillables or OEM cartridges. Contact them first he has them empty say for pigment or dye sub only but I use the same one on 2 diffrent 1400 for years without issue.

try this once.... turn on the printer press ink button till the print head stops to change cartridge position then ,take out the cartridge . then take out the power from the back ... install the cartridge again , put back the power , if the cartridge have an automatic reset chips it will work..but if not ..........buy another set

I hate this printer!! I had a 1400 with a bulk ink system I purchased from Lawson. Never had any issues with it until it died after about a year and a half. Lawson said the 1400 can't be reset. I purchased the 1430 from Lawson with a new bulk ink system because the bulk ink system that I had just bought a year and a half ago for the 1400 would not work with the 1430. The 1430 continually has to be reset, it stops printing in the middle of a piece of film, I continually have to turn it off and back on as the red jam light continually comes on despite it not being jammed. The bulk ink system continually gets the tubes hung up on the printhead despite putting the tubes paralell to the print head tubes as instructed by the manufacturer. I also purchased the Power Rip Software form Lawson when i purchased the 1430. It continually crashes at least 2-3 times per day. I guess because I am running Windows 8. I specifically asked if it would work with Windows 8 and was told it would. I really struck out on all 3 fronts with this purchase. I would NOT purchase this printer for printing film!!!

The problems are with your ciss and not the printer. There are very few ciss and refillable's that don't cause a problem in this printer. This printer is the 1400 with wireless. I have the 1430 for my back up and it
Prints great with cobra cartridges. Before that I was just about to throw it out the window cause I had a ciss off eBay that acted very simular to your issues. Of course there is also the possibility of a bad printer. FYI the 1400 can be reset and you can download utility directly from epson website. At that time it is advisable to put a waste ink tank on or replace the pad.
