[QUOTE="RybR, post: 209150, member: 10023"] I am going crazy! Every day for over a week, I've been trying to get my Epson Photo R2000 to print as it should but it keeps getting clogged (I think). I have installed a set of refillable cartridges from Marrutt. I hadn't used the printer for a long time (a month probably) and I never performed any kind of manual cleaning on it. After googling a bit, I realise I need to clean it manually so I go through some guides step by step. Saturating sponge with a cleaning solution of 50% distilled water, 50% window cleaner. Removing all cartridges and flushing the spikes with cleaning solution untill no more ink comes out of the print head below (using tissues to collect). I run a couple of cleaning cycles and I print out purgesheets and I give the printer time inbetween so cleaning cycles wont make things worse. I dab off sponge and wiper pad. No matter what I do, I always end up with one color not printing either well enough or at all. Currently my Magenta is not printing at all while all other colors are perfect. For a little while it could print almost 2 out of 18 stepped lines of the nozzle check print. Sometime during this nightmare, I got the Magenta to work but instead the Cyan stopped working completely. I also tried (in the middle of a perfectly good printing) that the printer wouldn't recognise a cartridge, so I remove the cartridge and put it back. The printer performs (for some stupid reason) a cleaning cycle and continue the printing only now, that cartridge only works on half the nozzles. Anyway, I am wasting huge amounts of ink on this and I am suspecting something is wrong. I can't believe it's normal for the printer to be this sensitive. I managed to get it to print perfectly for about 10 A3 papers after a complete 2 hour cleaning flushing everything. Now the magenta refuse to print again. Does anyone have experience with this? Does it sound like the printhead has malfunctioned and am I wasting ink and time on this thing? [/QUOTE]
