Epson Artisan 1430 Strange Prints

[Kain]

I have tried every setting on my mac and in printer settings as well as installing all new ink, and I still get prints that look like this. Does anyone have any ideas as to what may be the problem?

Hi Kain,
there is no black ink in the print. Have a look on printhead and cartridge.

Verify the settings. If your printer is set to CMY there will be no black ink used

Please run a nozzle check, scan it and post it here with the 'Upload a File' function. What type of catridges are you using - refill, 3rd party or Epson genuine ? Which cartridge did you change - black ?
