    Epson 9880 Light Black Dropped out

    I am having a problem with my printer. It was working great, I had to add 4 new ink cartridges. The Light Black just dropped out. I looked at the lines and it seems the light black fourth in is not supplying ink. I asked for a new cart, that will take a week or so to arrive. I am wondering what...

    I actually wiped the timing strip off with my fingers yesterday. I went into my printing room just now and it seems like the problem is fixed! Thanks very much for your input. It was 100% spot on as usual!!

    Looks like it's on page 109 of the Field Service Manual. I can drop box it. Won't upload too large.

    lines on my prints

    You have certainly helped me in the past! The lines are in the direction of paper travel. The Photo I supplied is in the orientation it comes out of the printer. It is upside down when it comes out as in the photo. I will clean the band you mentioned. I think I will use Windex first then my...

    9880 Borderless Problem

    We rotated the print and wasted a bit of paper. The manual says that 16 inch borderless is supported. I never tried it before. Just ordered a roll of Metallic in 24 inch on sale from Vistek. I hope it will print borderless at 24 inch. Thanks for the reply. Mike

    Nozzles Epson 9880

    Well it has gotten better. I have one yellow nozzle clogged now, just one! I do a check every morning. I was thinking if I could put some ammonia in the maintenance tank under the head. I thought the fumes might dissolve the remaining nozzle clog. Still my prints look great!

    Nozzles Epson 9880

    Well I tried the magic bullet a couple of times. I am now back where I was after some cleanings. Still 2 blocked nozzles on the yellow. I guess that's how it is. Maybe at some point I will replace the head if it gets worse or upgrade to a new printer. Very low volume of printing these days...
