In trying to resurrect one of my MX922's that has been sitting unused for about a year, I am getting quite severe smudging which you can see in the attached files. I've run both the Bottom Plate and Roller Cleaner procedures, neither seems to make any difference. Any suggestions on what is...
While refilling my Precision Colors refillable carts, I filled one of the two blacks with the wrong ink. Should I drain the cart and then refill? If so, what is the best way to go about this? The other option I see would be to get two new carts and start from scratch. Any suggestions for how I...
I use the InkJet Plumber App to do print test pages every 50 hours or so, it's a great little app. I recently found that it had stopped working and for a couple of weeks or so no test prints were fired. Several of the colors were clogged and all brought back except for orange. Using both Piezo...
I'm using my Epson SureColor P400 on my Mac with Big Sur (11.7.1), and I get the error "Epson Printer Utility 4 cannot be launched". According to MacRumors, the Epson Utility does not run on Big Sur. I can check ink levels, print test pages, etc. but I need to get into the utility to change the...
I have spent the last two days trying to undo clogs on my Epson P400, the printer sat unused for a month or so and 3 or 4 of the colors were almost totally blocked. I used PiezoFlush to clean underneath the print head, and cleaned the head using PiezoFlush and the dummy cartridge that comes with...
From a 2020 thread concerning fuzzy prints here on this forum, Stratman gave this response, "Magnifying the nozzle check there appears to be early signs of splitting/bowing of the vertical lines in the latticework of the Pigment Black nozzles. This is believed due to overheating and warping of...
I last used this printer about 8 months ago, it had the B200 error and I stopped using it. After coming across a new suggestion to fix the B200 error I powered it on by plugging it in. I plug in the power cord, wait a few seconds and can hear the mechanics working for several seconds, then the...
I have a very clean nozzle check on all colors, except I am getting small blotches of cyan showing up on the GO square. See attached image.
there does not appear to be any problem elsewhere on the check. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

When printing envelopes on my MX922 the print is consistently off by 1 or 2 degrees. I'm trying to print my return address with the associated logo and it is almost always crooked. To the best of my knowledge I am loading the envelopes as stated in the manual, the edge of the paper flush with...
Need help figuring out what is going on with my SP-400, I get the above error when I try to run a print job. It did print a nozzle check, but fails to print a file. I'm on a Mac with 10.13.6 High Sierra. Would appreciate if someone could point me in the right direction.
Thanks!
I've browsed the forums here looking for info on buying a backup set of empty refillable carts directly from China. The problem is there are so many listings, how does one find a reliable vendor? Anyone have a recommendation for a specific vendor? I'm currently looking at AlliExpress.
I have an Epson SC-P400, I'm working very hard to not upgrade the firmware as I am concerned that I will be locked out of using non OEM carts. I am now working with a Epson Photo Scanner, model FF-640, and it wants to update the firmware. Is it possible that a firmware update on the photo...
I'm new at refilling and will soon need to fill and install carts that I purchased from Precision Colors in my Epson P400. The only refill so far was to the Gloss Optimizer, that went well. My question concerns what to do with the syringe and needles after refilling. How does one clean up so...
I would like to try this software, but I'm too intimidated by the install info at http://www.argyllcms.com/doc/Installing_OSX.html. I must admit that I've become quite complacent with Mac's "click here and then drag to the Applications Folder." I have only downloaded the "Argllcms" software...
Last week I received my new, (Epson refurbished), P400, plus I ordered a set of refillable carts and ink from Precision Color. Yesterday while I was away, my wife made several prints when the GO low ink indicator came on. Not knowing about the empty refillable carts, she proceeded to replace the...
I've spent the better part of two days researching possible firmware issues with the P400, I'm overwhelmed and confused. I just ordered the printer from Epson, it will arrive in a couple of days, it is a refurbished unit. I have several questions and hope someone here can help.
1. Assuming the...
