Thanks for your patience with my inexperience, here is where I am. I just completed 10 full color 8.5 x 11 prints, the top nozzle check is where I was before the first print. The middle nozzle check was after 5 prints, followed by the final one after 10 prints. Before I initiated the 10 prints I...
Thanks for the suggestion, however it did not make a noticeable difference. The top nozzle print was after printing 10 test patterns, I then proceeded to do a Epson cleaning, the bottom nozzle print was after the cleaning. Before the cleaning, the orange and PK and quite are bad, after the...
Yellow and MK Black appear to be okay, hopefully that means delamination is not at play here.
The first time I flushed the heads with PiezoFlush, the syringe was very difficult to push, it finally moved but very quickly and all of the fluid was injected immediately. After that I was more...
Yes, I did do similar flushing, I used the instructions as posted here, from Inkjet Mall which is where I purchased the PiezoFlush. The video that you posted is actually a little more straight to the point, plus there are many very helpful comments. One such comment said that it took about 100...
So where to I go from here, are there any other options to get the clogs cleared up? I'm in unfamiliar territory, never having clogs anywhere near this severe before.
I started working on getting the printer back to good working order about four days ago, magenta, red and PK all showed all, or almost all bars not printing. Using the procedures that come with PiezoFlush at first made the problem worst. I kept at it, cleaning the print head with PiezoFlush and...
I have spent the last two days trying to undo clogs on my Epson P400, the printer sat unused for a month or so and 3 or 4 of the colors were almost totally blocked. I used PiezoFlush to clean underneath the print head, and cleaned the head using PiezoFlush and the dummy cartridge that comes with...
I still can't get refillhouse to load, browser just stalls. What I'm looking for is a high quality aftermarket cart, would be used in my two MX922's. These printers, along with an old high end HP laser printer, get general everyday use. I want to avoid refilling, that is what I do on my Epson...
I should clarify, I have had a couple of Canon's with this issue, one of my current MX922's is exhibiting the issue now. Rather than spend time and energy trying to fix it, I'm moving to a different printer and want to avoid this happening again. So, starting from scratch with a new to me...
From a 2020 thread concerning fuzzy prints here on this forum, Stratman gave this response, "Magnifying the nozzle check there appears to be early signs of splitting/bowing of the vertical lines in the latticework of the Pigment Black nozzles. This is believed due to overheating and warping of...
Anyone have any suggestions on this? If not to get it working, any information on what might be causing the problem. I have a parts unit and if it's not too complicated I could swap out a part or two.
I last used this printer about 8 months ago, it had the B200 error and I stopped using it. After coming across a new suggestion to fix the B200 error I powered it on by plugging it in. I plug in the power cord, wait a few seconds and can hear the mechanics working for several seconds, then the...
Well, the issue appears to have fixed itself. After two cleanings I still can not get a perfect nozzle check, however the blotches on the GO are no longer an issue. Attached is the final nozzle check results, note that photo black is still not perfect, but the GO does not have any color...
Yes, the 2 nozzle checks that I posted were printed consecutively, though maybe an hour apart. Nothing else was printed during that time.
I will check that in a bit, probably later today.
Actually, since it was a couple of weeks ago, I don't recall exactly what I was printing.
I tried getting...
This is the first time that I've printed in about two weeks, the nozzle check was fine at that point. I'm attaching a fresh nozzle check, this time on a fresh sheet of paper. As you can see, the blotches are not in the same location. This nozzle check was the very next thing printed after the...
I have a very clean nozzle check on all colors, except I am getting small blotches of cyan showing up on the GO square. See attached image.
there does not appear to be any problem elsewhere on the check. Any suggestions on how to remedy this?

There is an excellent forum for Epson Wide Format printers at <https://groups.io/g/EpsonWideFormat>. It is very active with many knowledgeable members. You will probably be able to get excellent additional information there.
I finally found time to implement all of the suggestions, here is what I found. Ink smudges are 100% gone, clicking the "Prevent Paper Abrasion" box did the trick. Should I uncheck this box for printing on regular paper? I assume that this just moves the envelope away from the print head.
I...
I got around to cleaning the pick up rollers tonight, it certainly made a noticeable improvement. It is not 100% as one of the test prints appears to be ever so slightly skewed in the opposite direction. I'll test a bit more tomorrow. So while the skew problem may be solved, or mostly solved...
