I have got no blue coming through at all at the moment on this printer, which i use pigment ink in, i have done a couple of cleans, but now think i need to clean the blue bit individually as i am wasting a lot of other colour ink when i dont need to.

how do you clean the actual head, manually ? do i need anything special ? is there a guide to cleaning them.

thanks in advance

Don't think it's possible to clean a single head on that printer unless there is some 3rd party system out there.

ok, i have tried putting a new cartridge in but still nothing, im a bit stuck now, as if its head clean function does not clear it - what does ??

Bugger, it looks like its the chip box that is at fault, i now cant even nozzle check or print clean, as the epson wont recognise the cartridges, looks like a call to continuous ink systems

think i will just go back to paying the hugely overpriced epson ink at least with their durabright ink the damm thing works lol

Hi Laura! you can clean your head with this 3rd party cleaning system. you can clean whatever had you want. or all of them. I just bought this for my R285.

I thought they never blocked ;0)

i did not used my R285 for ver a year. I had ciss hooked up with pigment ink. Now i just converted it to back up sublimation printer. Menaged to get about 98% nozzlr patern but i want 100%. And who said they never block?
