Message: [QUOTE="Fischery, post: 229767, member: 26858"] Hi [USER=26857]@handsomep[/USER], what you're experiencing with your Epson WF-3540 is, unfortunately, quite common with inkjet printers – especially those with fixed print heads. The cleaning process always flushes all color channels, even if only one is clogged. Over time, that’s not only frustrating but also quite costly... :( Here are a few things you can try: 1. Gentle trick: print solid color blocks instead of running a cleaning Sometimes, printing a full cyan block (100% fill) can draw fresh ink through the nozzle and clear minor clogs – without triggering a cleaning cycle at all. 2. Print a test image regularly If the printer isn’t used regularly, the ink can dry in the nozzles. Printing a simple test image with all colors once a week helps keep the ink flowing and often prevents the need for any cleaning in the first place. We see this all the time with machines that either sit unused for long periods or are always printing similar designs and colors. Without regular flow through all nozzles, clogs are almost inevitable. Best regards, Fischery [/QUOTE]
