Re: Troubleshooting Epson Artisan 1430 -- nozzle checks failing

2016-02-16 by jeff.grant@...

The 1430 is an odd beast. I bought one which I could not get to work reliably. I tried all sorts of carts but could not maintain a good nozzle check, mainly because a couple of the carts always leaked. In the end, I sold it.

A few months later, I tried again. I am using IJM and MIR (Australian) two part carts. This time, I have had none of the issues that I had with the first 1430.

Why one worked and the other didn't is a mystery which I will never solve but I am delighted that it is now working as it should.
