Eboni 1430 parking pad replacement

Eboni 1430 parking pad replacement

2015-04-09 by jared bush

Hi group,

I am having constant ink clogging issues with my epson 1430. Head cleaning will solve sometimes. It'll clear them but others will get clogged. But I can tap the print head and it'll clear them (I am assuming air bubbles) then print with no mishaps. If I let it sit for a day or two it is all over again. I get to the point of just junking it. I don't think it should clog this much.

I am wondering if the parking pad is not sealing and the ink is drying on the print head?

If so, can this easily be fixed or replaced?

Jared

1. You could clean the printer (see below). 2. Some of your problems may not be genuine clogs but issues with venting and flow from incorrect filling technique. 3. If the carts are old then you could also try new carts. 4. You could ask in the Epson forum rather than the QTR one.
