Be sure the tape tabs over the air inlets on the carts have been removed.

> Subject: [Digital BW] Help: C86 UT Cartridges don't print
> 
>  Hello,
> 
> I purchased a set of Ultratone inks for my Epson C86. I'm having a
> problem getting the inks flowing properly. Here's the history:
> 
> The factory ink cartridges worked just fine. When I first put in the
> UT inks, however, I didn't get any ink on the paper whatsoever. I took
> the cartridges out, shook them vigorously, and put them back in.
> Nothing. I did it again, ran a set of three cleaning cycles, and I got
> faint printing. A nozzle check printout showed that the black ink and
> cyan position inks are printing intermittently. I put the factory inks
> back in and had no problems printing.
> 
> I then searched on the net and read about the "water drop trick", that
> the inks would start flowing if a drop of water were put inside. So I
> removed the cartridges and did this. Thankfully, the black and yellow
> slot cartridges have started to flow, albeit with gaps. (I'm using the
> nozzle check printout to check this). The cyan and magenta slot
> cartridges are still totally blank, no matter what I do. I've tried
> cleaning a couple more times.  Now another problem has arisen. I can't
> clean the nozzles anymore because the printer reports that the black
> ink cartridge is low! I haven't printed more than a page with the
> cartridge.
> 
> Someone please give me a hand -- I'm very frustrated.
