mis ut7 on epson 2200

2011-03-05 by hovikgbg

I installed UT7 on my Epson 2200. It is supposed to work with the Epson driver using Paul Roark workflow. The 2200 simply will not print - even maintanence, nozzle check. I cannot find profiles on his web page. Must I use QTR or alternative? If I install QTR driver, how do I get Epson driver back when I wish to use full color Epson. I use Win XP SP 3, LR3, PS CS3. By the way, I reinstalled the Epson cartridges and I print just fine - except for the metamerism and a color cast (usually green sometimes magenta) in my B&W which got me to order the UT7 in the first place. What to do?

With the UT7 cartridges installed is the printer showing it is out of ink?
Perhaps one (or more) of the cartridge chips isn't aligning with the sensor
properly?  I cannot think of any other reason the printer should work with
one inkset and not the other.

Make sure you removed the air plugs from the cartridges. If you look on top of 
the cartridge there should be 2 plugs, a clear one on the back and a colored one 
towards the top (the top being closer to the inside of the printer). Remove the 
clear plugs as these allow air into the cartridge. The colored plugs are used 
for refilling and should stay in at all times except when refilling.

After that, run a few cleaning cycles until you start to see ink. You could also 
run a few test prints instead. The problem with new cartridges is they are not 
primed. Therefore you have to priome them to get the ink flowing. 


Stupid question but possible, you do have ink in the cartiridges, right?

Thanks, I will try that as well. Not a foolish question about the right placement - a few years back the answer to "did you plug it in?" was actually "no".
