Digital BW, The Print

Greetings,

Some Epson users are inclined to revive the printer and some are not.
You can probably use the 1280 for both BO and color with careful cleaning.

By not having ink in the color space, you are writing those heads off. A
cheap cart. or a refil will keep the heads flowing. There are always
exceptions though.

  Subject: [Digital BW] BO with 1280 with stuck nozzle


  Hi All,

  I have an epson 1280 that after two years of very light use is showing
  signs of a damaged head. Yellow and sometimes blue lines run accross
  the paper in most prints, both outside and inside the printing area.
  The problem shows up in black-only as well as in color prints.

  I am thinking of installing an empty color cartridge, after resetting
  the chip so that the cartridge reads full. My hope is to be able to
  produce B&W prints using the black-only setting by doing this.

  Do you think this is a good idea? Any advice will be greatly appreciated!

  Have a good day!
