Epson B1100 - not printing at all

[pesketta]

Help - purchased a new B1100 last week and a new CISS system for it.
Worked fine for 3 days, then the black went awol while printing
Did a nozzle check and then a clean, and now although the PC shows all inks as OK, not one drop of any colour is getting onto the paper
Goes through the motions of printing, but nothing appears

no colours at all? did you took those little rubber plugs out of the ciss?

[pesketta]

Do you have the lid closed?

Do you have the lid closed?

no, i was half way through printing and it just all went blank, ink bottles
were all full etc etc. Ive done nozzle check and everything this am and
now it seems to be working okay. Baffles me sometimes!!

every epson I ever had. and I had them few was not capable to print 10's full colour jobs in one go... I think its something to do with ink can not flow faster then head is using the ink or something. but after 1h rest and headclean it looks like they recharged and ready to go... I dont know if that make any sens to you lol

[pesketta]

yes it does thanx. sometimes why i do this causes a lot of heartache, and my seconds bin is getting very large!!

[Paul]

dont trough your seconds to the bin if there is one side still white on the mug or your t-shirt is ruined dont just chuck it away! you can use it as a test blank if you not sure of some colours, setings or photo... trust me! you will need them one day

[pesketta]

yeah i do that already. no i meant seconds as in selling them at reduced price. some days it all goes fine and then others it just doesnt happen and it always just before i got a show!
