1400 start up

installed inks as described in instructions for EP 1400, can’t get a good nozzle check as I did with colour ink before conversion, have now used a full set of ink on cleaning with no improvement, got some bars on some inks but 1 not working at all.
Have ordered a new set of carts, flush and chip setter, will try again. any ideas???

Hi Glenn~

Please check to make sure the air vent holes are open (plugs removed) for proper ink flow.
Did you tap the carts exit valve down a few times before installing into your printer?
How long did you wait to begin printing after installing the carts? (did you let the printer/carts sit for a few minutes?)
What inks were in this printer prior to the refill carts?
Did you print a good nozzle check with the previous set of carts/inks before installing the refill carts?
Have you ever cleaned your printers capping station, wiper blade or bottom of the print head? If not, I suggest you read this info: http://www.inkjetmall.com/tech/content.php?133-Printer-Cleaning-and-Preventative-Maintenance

Please let me know so I can help.
