Digital BW, The Print

I decided to convert my Epson 2000P to B&W so I ordered the black, UTFS-T015-K, MIS Ebony Black, and the UTFSN-T016, MIS 2000P UTFSN "multi-black/grey.  I installed them, printed 2-3 8x10's and the printer clogged, completely.

I have gone thru a set of cleaning carts, 3-5 refills of cleaning carts, got to the point where the printer would not recognize the black carts, nor the cleaning carts (both ink lights on solid), so I purchased a set of color carts which loaded properly and was able to print a VERY bad nozzle check.

I have now emptied the color carts trying to unclog the heads (it still will not recognize the cleaning carts nor the black carts) and don't know where to turn next.  At this point, I have spent over $100 on various carts, and I'm not sure the printer is worth it.

Any ideas greatly appreciated, thanks,

John
