R2000 printer, 4 gaps in check pattern on cyan, 1 on magenta. I'm printing colour calibration sheet with 1440 dpi x 1404dpi and I see some smudging (see images). Left sponge cleaned 3 times in last day. What might be the reason? Fist image shows the same print with PK and MK.

Is there a way of purging GO or I should swap the cartridge with i.e. blue and print blue pages? I'm trying to solve intermittent problem with photo black getting into orange. Cartridge order is like here: and I think GO might be involved as well - I saw pale dots on check pattern.

I just printed some A3 drawing with plenty of small details and I was not happy with the results. Red colour was not sharp for some reason. Is there a test image available for printing for resolution test? That style, but with colours:

I had never used manual feed tray. I decided recently to try it for lustre paper and sometimes it works fine, most of the time throws "paper jam" message or sometimes I load paper it pull it in and pushes it out through the printer immediately. I guess some sensor is dirty? Also when printer is...

What might be causing this? Yellow got some darker shade, orange as well, magenta (2nd from the left) looks like it got some orange. I cleaned the "left sponge", the wiper blade and the print head with soaked sponge strip. Obviously I didn't clean something to the required level, but I'm waiting...

Any idea where I can get one in Europe?

I'm cleaning the print head using stripe of wet sponge placed under the head and running it manually back and forth. The cartridges are in place - should I remove them? It looks like ink is flowing down to the sponge. I can't easily remove the head, so this is the only method for me. Edit...

I'm having problems establishing good printing work flow. I have calibrated monitor (Agryll + ColorHug), but I'm struggling with gutenprint/cups. The problems are: - red goes pink, even with all profiles/correction switched off - heavy banding (*) on blue (also green, but that's probably from...

I got a few icc files for ink/paper from Marrutt and I hit a strange problem. The files seem to work with gimp (no crash), but they kill gutenprint (filter failed) and collink [1]. Any idea what might be wrong? I can provide all details & debug data if there is anybody willing to look at it. I...

The beginning of the story is here: https://www.printerknowledge.com/threads/r2000-foam-in-print-head-rest-possible-waste-ink-problem.13923/ At some stage photo black ink cartridge was not pushed all the way down. Printer didn't notice it, because electronic is in a separate "cradle", so the...

I have R2000 for 5+ years, use Marrutt refillable cartridges - the ones with blue cradle and Marrutt ink. I got the blue cradle cartridges recently - the older ones (Marrutt as well) were showing some problems. I couldn't get the check pattern fully filled, so I decided to use magic bullet...

I have epson R2000 for probably last 2 years. I use marrutt refillable cartridges with marrutt ink. The printer is not used very often and I used to have problems due lack of knowledge how to prime marrutt refillabe cartridges. Recently the printer kept perfect nozzle check, so I decided to...
