R1800 - blocked nozzles

[castlegategiftcreations]

Wondering if anyone had a quick solution for clearing blocked nozzles on the epson r1800. Keep trying nozzle head cleaning etc but nothing seems to be helping.

You could try witch hazel on a cloth and place it underneath the print head which would break down and external ink on the heads. This can also be inject into the head directly.

Make sure it is a blockage first though as there are a few other things that can go wrong. Just had a 9000 appear as if it had blocked heads but turned out to be a loss of suction on the ink due to wearing of a gromet and letting in air.

Here is what is printing out when i do an auto nozzle clean and check. It is more or less the same when done manually

Is there ink in the resevoirs of the faulty colours?

thanks Andrew - I did check the inks last week on the bulk feed system (unfortunately we are unable to see how much inks are left) but they felt like they still had loads of ink left. I think I must have used a lot trying to clear the nozzles!!!!

Changed a couple of them now and printer is working.

It is one of those days!!!!! I have my thick head on today LOL.

Good luck
