Do you say this from experience Martin?

I only say this because I remembered that I had problems last night after I had to manually reset the cartridges due to low ink (press the button for 5 secs). Then today I remembered that I seem to experience 'some' kind of problem after the cartridges have been refilled - this could be a simple head clean to resolve it or like last night (a few hours trying to resolve the problem).

Coincidence .............. as I too have a B1100 ?????????

Hi martin

I followed all the guides on your site yesterday and sorted the problem (plus previous problem of no yellow in tube), but then today when i went to print problems are back but the blank ink today.

Will try few prints as Adam recommended tomorrow as had to leave shop early to do sign job.

Do I say what from experience?? The ink levels drop because that's the way Epson programme the chip to behave as you consume ink, expecting the ink to be depleted from a cartridge, but the ink is being continuously replenished in the EasyFlow systsems. So the ink level is nothing to do with the physical volume of ink inside the cartridge and the chips are designed to reset themselves when they get to a certain level and the printer/ computer is restarted at some point. A manual chip reset is sometimes required if, something has gone wrong or if you've sent a massive job to the printer which would consume more than the ink remaining in the cartridge (as defined by what the chip 'thinks' is in the cartridge).
