Hi all
I recently bought a Epson based 4880 machine second hand. Unfortunately it doesn't print white at all.
I have removed the head, cleaned it and flushed it through, no blockages there. There doesn't seem to be any blockages in the line.
I don't think this machine was cleaned very often to be honest. There was a huge amount of dried ink around the printhead when I got it.
Heads in the UK are very expensive to replace, so my question is, is this likely to be a damper or head failure? Considering the head flushes through with no blockages present.
What I don't want to do is replace the head and find out that it was just a fairly cheap damper.
Also, I don't know how the white failed - whether it was over a period of time, or suddenly.
