Epson t13 not giving pure black

[ramanrockstoday]

I use it for sublimation inks,and the black has cyan littered all over,any idea whats wrong,it cant print pure black , tried cymk at 300 dpi ,without any luck,the cyan color always mixes itself with black !

If Epson printers are like Canon printers (I have no idea if this is true), then other colors are mixed in to create shades of grey, including 100% black. The only way to get just the black ink to be used is to specify Grayscale Printing and even then you have to be careful not to be printing double sided. See the answer in the Inkjet FAQ's link near the top of this page for "Does grayscale printing use color cartridges to make gray?".

Epson Stylus T13 uses separate ink tanks. Have you tried running a cleaning cycle? Does it have cyan nuance when you print in grayscale mode?
