Epson T50 problem

[ink-solutions]

Hello all again. I am having some Epson T50 problem.. I find that everyday, sometimes twice a day, i have to clean the print head, it just print with lines. I am using a dye based CISS. Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks.

Could be the ink, could be the level at which you support the CISS. You could raise the CISS 1/4" per day and see if that makes a difference, but more than likely, it's the ink.

So are you saying that the CISS should not be on the same level as the printer.. Should i put it higher ?

I'm saying that a small change in elevation might make a difference in flow to the print head....and might not. I could also be incompatible ink.

There are variations in print head height from printer base from printer model to printer model. A generic CISS (if that what you have) may not take this into account.

The print head is dead now.. it is printing with lines an they will not come out.. I have taken the head out an cleaned it many times with warm cleaning fluid an still just print with lines.. printer is down for good now..

Install new OEM carts and see if it clears up.
