Re: [Digital BW] 3800 clogged all the time

2010-05-19 by Richard Sintchak

If I was in your circumstance I'd first install the Epson OEM ink carts
that came with the 3800, let the cleaning cycles run, and then see if I
still have clogs.  Long time ago this was my method when I ran a bulk ink
set up with third-party inks on my old 1160.  This would often clear things
up and I'd switch back to the bulk inks and be back in business again....
