Hello ,
I have my Epson 1500w for 8 years, i use refillable ink cartridges,
Every so many months ( 3th time in the last few years) i have large inkdrops...its more a line of 1cm and 1.5mm wide) its always the light cyan so i've replaced the licht cyan cartridge the third time 2 weeks ago , but since the droplets ( lines) appear almost at end of the printed photo ( after the last cleaning of the printhead on the left side )it might be caused by an overflow of the cleaning inkpad at the left part of the printer??( printheads go there every 18 runs(or passages) if i print 13x18cm and only once with a 10x15cm)

If i runout of light cyan cartridges can i swap the light cyan with a let's say a yellow cartridge? will the printer know that ??( now i have a new set with a missing light cyan cartridge you see.. )

today i have that problem again ,(after 2weeks having a new cartridge maybe it can be the cyan cartridge now that causes the problem, ( i have an empty one to swap it with)

And another question , how can i see how many prints i printed?
