Hi all
First of all i'm sorry if this is not the right section to make this post, but I think i didn't make any mistake.
Yesterday i printed some t shirts with my dtg diy epson r1800 it works well
Today, i opened the printer and i found that the ink is leaking like showed in the photo. Even when the printer is offline it still leaking and the catridge is empty (Yellow is ok, cyan magenta and black are all empty after juste 12 hours)
I don't know if it's from the head printer or from the catridge, please help
Thanks

Maybe there's air inside the cartridge forcing the ink out.
Try filling your cartridge in vacuum method.

Are you using bulk in system by any chance ?

Hi guys thanks for answering
every time i refill my catridge i use the vaccum refill method, i'm sure there are no air bubbles in the catridge
and no i'm not using bulk ink system

Your cartridge might be defective.
I once bought a chinese refillable cartridge that was defective and used to leak all the time.

Hi,
I take it that your waste ink tank is lower than the head? If it is then you need to have a pipe clamp on the waste pipe to close the pipe at night. It is probably the syphoning effect through the head when the head is at rest, ie not in use over night. Refillable cartridges have a large breather hole and offer no resistance to syphoning.
