So if you are interested, which I am not any more, the printer had good nozzle checks after being primed but deteriorated rapidly over a very short time span. Been posting and fixing for years and now I can't even start the printer. Printer is gone. are you interested in the carts ink?
If you...
Just finish flushing through the home made cleaning fluid using brand new carts and ink charge routine, refilled with fresh ink and ran another ink charge routine.
Got a good nozzle check. Next day it was poor and ran cleaning cycle between each nozzle check. Rinse and repeat several times...
There is "adjustment program" that you can run an initial inkcharge routine, among other things, but it will prime all the channels. www.2manuals.com
I have heard of programs called "rip" I think that can control each channel but are quite expensive and for pro high volume printers. I have no...
Yes I know about printing regularly. I use the Qimage purge print every two days (full page) and still got clogging all the time. I recently MAY have found the issue with some pet hair compromising the head park seal.
I know people like to tell me how they have no issues and I am glad for them...
Things got really messed up with my P600- water under the bridge and this is my last attempt to fix this thing. My massive and persistent clogging MAY have been caused by some pet hair compromising the parking station seal. I did find and clean that out as well as soak heads for days using...
According to my limited understanding it's not possible but if you find a way let me know.
Be careful taking my advice since my P600 is currently dead, long story of problems enough to make me regret the purchase. Last chance is clean set of carts to run windex through
If you get any air in the line you have to run what I call a priming cycle. What your printer did when you first tirned it on. It will use a lot of ink from all channels. To run that you need an aftermarket program called "Epson Adjustment Program" you buy for a small fee...
Might be leaky capping station but that doesn't explain, to me at least, why the nozzle check gets worse each time. Best nozzle check I can get is after it sits a day or two almost like gravity supplies some ink but no pumping action to keep it flowing. My wild guess anyway.
Yes I am aware of all you said and agree. I made the mistake of emptying tanks to fix the clogging or to eliminate air as an issue. In my experience this printer has been very problematic. I have done what the experts like you and Jose have advised and constantly had issues. If I get two to...
It appears the priming emptied a few carts. I was holding off buying more ink till I determined if I am chucking this in the trash. There was before I started this diagnosis.
I need to order inks and reprime before going further. Really loathing putting more money into this lemmon.
I'll reply...
First image is before I ran an initial purge routine (WIC). The second image is after.
First image also has the results of qimage purge print which is also printed on backside of all printouts
Using precision color inks with their carts. I run Qimage full page pruge print every two days and still get clogging even in humid summer months, seems worse in winter.
Current problem is large area of the nozzle check pattern accross most of the upper half of all colors.
Two nights in a row...
Problem solved.
The VM channel did have air in it. I tried the wet paper towel on platen procedure first with no change at all. Bought the Epson setup utility from 2manuals.com and ran the initial purge routine right after a nozzle check still showing completely blank VM channel. After the...
Hi, I may have accidentally (actually daughter using printer) may have let one color run out. Using PC inks and cartridges from their site. Printer has sat idle for a while too while a host of other emergencies were dealt with leaving no time for printing.
Nozzle check shows most colors with...
Just posting this for the next guy that may run into this issue.
My Epson P600 would not connect to my network in a cascaded router setup. Apparently the software can't deal with it like a phone or computer can. Saw it as two separate nets and refused to connect with error messages saying my...
