Epson D120 low ink warning

[georgess]

Hi chaps, I have switch on the Epson D120 to do a few mats, however, I admit that it's been approx 3-4 months since I have sublid, the ink light is on telling me that I have no black ink. I can't do a nozzle check or clean. Any ideas?
Regards,

George

Do a nozzle check

Hi Paul, did that, 3 times, no good, could it be my profile? I double checked my settings of the ICC profile. Strange, 1st 2 prints perfect, then it went t*** up.

If the nozzle check pattern is not perfect then there is no point going to print. Have a look at our FAQ on this matter (3rd up from the bottom)...

I've got D120 (with CIS) and from time to time one of the colours stop working (even if using printer regularly). If it happens, I pull out cartridges, give them a good shake (cover "ink flow holes" to stop ink splashing all over) and it helps I know it sounds bit silly but works for me
