Epson 2200 - black nozzle doesn't print

Epson 2200 - black nozzle doesn't print

2004-10-29 by andreamorphine

Hello,
I usually used MIS ebony ink and printed b/w nice pics.
After a month of non-use now black cartidge doesn't print at all. 
I made some head cleaning and allignment but nothing changed.
Do you have some ideas? Maybe the MIS nozzle fuid could help me?
Please help me if you can! ;)

I would put in an Epson PK cart and run cleaning cycles.  That might
do it.

Thanks, I tried with this cartridge, after 3 head cleanings I printed
a black color print but only some thin black lines appeared. Maybe
other cleaning cycles after some hours could help? 
Someone tried the MIS nozzle fluid or Direct Inject cleanin as
explained in this page:
http://inksupply.info/index.php?_a=knowledgebase&_j=questiondetails&_i=9
?

thanks

Sounds like some progress.  Have you read the MIS page called "How To
Kill An Epson Printer"?  It says something about printing something
that requires all heads to fire after 3 cleaning cycles before doing
any more cleanings, etc.  I'd do that and then do more
cleanings...just keep at it with the PK ink.

Clayton
