It's possible that the OEM ink does not mix well with UT2. Search 
the http://groups.yahoo.com/group/EPSON_Printers/ for recent posts 
by Art Entlich for head soaking solution involving household ammonia 
and windex which will dissolve whatever that is sitting in your 
printhead. After purging the head of the sudsy stuff you should be 
able to use UT2.

Or perhaps the easy way is to get a cleaning cartridge from MIS. 
Always use this cleaning cartridge if you switch between the OEM and 
UT2 type inks.
