I have problems with my Epson R2880. I have two injectors clogged. I want to know if this product can help me.

I also need to know how to remove the air introduced into one of the cartridges.

I have made several cleanings but all I get is losing money with ink.

Thanks.

All of them! LOL
OEM or Refillables? Simple Window cleaner such as Windex with ammonia is just as good. When you Injectors what do you mean? Nozzles or a whole group of nozzles?

Refillables cartridges. I used windex on a cotton and left it at least 6 hours. The cotton on the nozzle.

Only two nozzles that give me problems.

Thanks.

Always indicate your carts types. OEM or refillables, the inks you are using.
It makes a huge difference.
So only two "lines" on two color channels are not firing?
You do mean individual nozzles and not color channels right?

I've had a single magenta line not printing on one of my PRO3800s. Nothing I've done to clear it helps. However one or two lines missing will not affect your print quality in the least. As long as you are using the higher printing resolutions.

Just continue printing normally and periodically do a nozzle check. Do not run a power clean. It often makes things worse and wastes a ton of ink.

I'm using PrecisionColors ink (Image Specialist). I have two colors that do not print correctly.

I have done thorough cleaning but this does not correct it.

Is it okay to use Windex on a cotton?

Check your two faulty color's carts to make sure there is no air in the priming chamber. If so, insert a syringe into the exit port and extract about an ml of ink and top off the cart.
No use a folded paper tower wetted with Windex.
