Did you peel the foil off the top of the cartridges?

Subject: [Digital BW] can't print with C86 and MIS EZN inks


I'm new to this group and to inkjet printing. I just purchased a
refurbished Epson C86 to and a set of MIS EZN cartridges. Since I've
never used an inkjet printer before I may have done something wrong but
I followed the instructions very carefully, I think.

My problem is that after loading the EZN set into the printer, I wasn't
able to get any image at all from the printer. The nozzle check didn't
produce anything on the paper either. Thinking that the print head might
be the problem, I loaded the Epson dye inks that came with the printer
and after one cleaning cycle, the nozzle check pattern was perfect.

I reloaded the EZN set and saw only one very light line in the nozzle
check pattern. The Epson status utility also now shows the EZN
cartridges to getting low on ink.

Does anyone have any suggestions? There are no blinking lights on the
printer.
