I think I was JINXED!

After reading several postings about malfunctioning EPSON PRO 3800 and 3880s with blocked or non firing and unclearable channels. I thought Baaah. That's never gonna happen to me!
Not even a days later my second 3800 which by the way is about 15K prints into its life. One foot in the grave maybe?
Anyway, it began to loose complete Cyan channel and Magenta even after a single day of non use.
Well, check out my video to see the happy conclusion to was could've been a tragedy!

You gotta be careful with those gremlins... Take their name in vain and they set about reminding you of their power

Of course it doesn't hurt to call their bluff once in a while and settle their troublesome ways for a bit. Good fix

It is amazing how many purge unit problems can go unmissed because most guys are so quick the blame the print head especially on Canon printers.

Clean and maintain you purge unit periodically and you’ll have far less print issues..

Even guys who "Think" they know it all!
Yes though this was a very rewarding experience, I was quite humbled at the end.
