Epson 3880 help needed asap

[Adrienne]

I have an Epson 3880 with an Irefill system installed. I accidentally filled the "light black" ink with the "light light black" ink. Someone on a different forum said I should get rid of the ink in that tank & refill it with the "light black". I did this but now my printer is printing blues as gray. What should I do now? Any info would be appreciated.

i can imagine two scenario: you filled the wrong cartridge or because of handling some ink cames out of the printhead and contaminated cyan nozzles. do you print a pattern check, so you know it is definitely the cyan color? So print some cyan filled sheets and the contamination will be flushed out.

You did more than what was stated. Using Light Light Black in place of the Light Black ink will make colors look a little duller with less contrast. It should not turn blues into grays. The extent of the problem you now have will depend on when you discovered the problem. Check carefully, I am pretty sure you did more than just one mistake based on what was stated. Be prepared for multiple head cleans to get the wrong colored ink flushed out of the system.

Make sure the other colors carts are correct, as it seems they are not.
