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

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

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
